After completing my first tour of duty at Elmendorf AFB I had no idea that I would be returning to and retiring in Alaska fifteen years later. It was a dream come true.
Moose Hunting at Fog Lakes
My First Fly-in Hunt
Fly-in hunts are a great way to hunt Alaska. You get away from the crowds. You have two options, a drop-off do it yourself hunt, or a guided hunt. Of course the guided hunt is three or four times more expensive. Either way you get to see and hunt areas that only a few do. The population of Alaska is about 10 times what it was when I first arrived so getting away from the crowds is more important today than it was back then. There are many great APHA guides to choose from and many good flying services in our State. Come hunt Alaska!
1967 was my most successful hunting year, so follow two naive young men on their first fly-in hunt for moose and caribou.
