No matter what you think about Covid-19, and we all know there are many different opinions, it has changed the way we think and, in my view, not for the better. This man-made virus has taken many loved ones and tanked our economy. It has also taken its toll on Alaska hunters especially the guided ones. Last year the Alaska Department of Fish and Game closed down non-resident spring brown bear hunting in game unit 9 and, many villages in the State barred non-locals from coming into their communities. This really hurt the guide industry and some resident hunters. 2021 has been better but some hunters are still afraid to travel, even some residents. Saying that, my family still hunted sheep and moose in 2020 and planned our 2021 moose hunt like there was nothing going on.
