Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Ptarmigan and snowshoe hare near Anchorage?

Funny clip!

Yep, you can't apply 100 miles will take 2 hours or less...

Of course we are still infatuated with scenery and will stop at the drop of a hat to take photos of a rainbow, eagle, or just terrain, especially changing leaves...

Takes us about 8-10 hours from Delta to Wasilla generally speaking.

There are stretches we could hit 80 plus.. there are stretches where 35 happens....

I remember working in Glennallen one summer and a co-worker and I went fishing after work. I think he was going around 70 and managed one of these on a frost heave.

it was 1986.... the first frost heave the 86 GMC 3/4 ton truck of mine hit scared both myself and my parents pretty good.....

Since then I've gotten used to them, but they still can sneak up on you... I think there is a bad stretch right before waltville there somewhere even now,t though they were/are working on them about every time we come through.

<10 miles RT via snowmachine, and barely more than an hour from start to finish. That was 8 years ago, so hopefully they'll be making their way on the upswing soon. (Probably a 4-day ride from Anchorage unless you Irondog it! )

Try the valley. Lots of game out there. Wasilla fishook, eklutna lake, riverbeds all might hold good rabbit hunting. (My favorite) drive along the roads and scout the ditches to find the rabbits....

Check out hunting small game, on base.

There's plenty of woods there. All you need are Wabbit Tracks.
