Winter is too often too wet with icy roads. Ugh.

Moose hunting might be 100 miles away in one direction and you might need a boat or four wheeler when you get there. Salmon fishing might be 100 miles in another direction, and deer twice as far.
Just an outsiders thoughts.

True most can not just walk out their front door to enjoy the fishing/hunting..

Some though luck out and can cast a fly from their front porch when they are looking to do some fishing. But it comes with it's own trade offs, like doing without some of the familiar necessities that a large town has to offer.

It's tough to picture the "necessities" that a large town has. I can recall a few "conveniences" but these are grossly outweighed by the inconveniences that are as common as asphalt........

Right now I am visiting a company in Beaufort SC. About as far from AK as you can get in the Low Country but it is quite charming. Though I haven't ventured into the alligator grass yet and judging by the gator I caught here last year on a trip I don't want to.
