    Going to Alaska for the First Time

    You don't have to get all those tags at one time ... a little planning and you can get them as you need them, kinda thing. No need to learn all the regs. It's a big state lots of different regs for different areas, just narrow it down to the area you will be hunting. It's really not as...

    Let us through! Canada won't allow SE AK hunters over the border to access interior subsistence activities

    The border closure is not screwing just a few individuals ... the people of Skagway & Hyder are not doing well. My good friend's business in Hyder is toast.

    POW, Anybody ever taken there own vehicle there for hunting or fishing?

    The ferry wage / contract issues were not the reason the run was canceled. It's a US Homeland security issue about having armed guards at the border. This was in addition to a few other issues and then the Corona came along. The AK Governor pretty much was successful in killing the system. The...

    POW, Anybody ever taken there own vehicle there for hunting or fishing?

    There are currently no ferry runs out of Prince Rupert into Alaska. They canceled that run last year. Also the Canadian border is closed except for essential travel. If they start a run from there again it is a very nice trip. I have made it quite a few times. I don't know if it would save you...

    Living in the Tongass

    Welcome ... I got a homestead lot back in the early 80's at Hollis. Lived out there a lot of years. Guided fishing and hunting on the Island and over in the Misty. Moved down on the Oregon coast now. Still have the Hollis place and am going to put it up for sale if you know anyone looking.

    Fall Prince of Wales

    Also with the new weather it is harder to plan your clothing needs. During May the last 3 years it has been very dry and spells of very warm weather. In 2018 mid May had a week of 70 to 80 degree sunny days. May 2019 was very little rain and some hot days as well.

    Fall Prince of Wales

    I was saying chest waders are hot, to me that is ... mainly when hiking the rivers and uplands in fall or even in spring. Traveling or sitting in a skiff glassing can be cold. May weather can be from one extreme to the other. Freezing rain or 70+ sunny degrees. Seems like in recent years, with...

    Fall Prince of Wales

    Waders are hot .... Sept is not cold but could be very wet. Hip boots are probably worn by more Bear hunters than chest waders. Many guys use the stiff rubber waders but I have always liked the softer kind. This last time around I went with the ...

    Looking for Topo Maps Prince of Wales

    Using USGS topo maps will require you to buy several different maps, usually. You can cut that down by concentrating on a small area, to hunt. Even with maps, if you don't use a GPS, make sure to use some flagging tape.

    black bear shot placement

    Look at OzzyDave's attachment pic. Take note of the front lower leg bone and how it points right to the heart. That's your shot. When finding the point don't find the top of the bear and sight down .. find the bottom, behind the front leg, and come up. The chart that wllm1313 posted up also...
