I spent six weeks in and around the Palmer area summer before last, put 5,000 miles on the rental car exploring in every direction daily until we ran out of places to go. As an avid hunter who would like to hunt Alaska, I left with the understanding that it takes lots of gear (boats, planes, ATVs) and time to hunt that vast territory and would certainly require the services of a licensed guide to have any chance of success. Given success, the logistics of transporting a moose out of the field are overwhelming to this southern deer hunter. Even if I moved to Alaska, which I could, I'd have to invest in the aforementioned gear to even make a modest effort. Side note, I see that a frequent visitor to this forum has kin in Talkeetna, spent some time there, a wonderful place minus the tourist!
