doesn`t Alaska also have American Bison hunts too ? As listed, yes we do have plains bison in a number of places across AK, some are very difficult draws and some are OTC. Woods bison have been reintroduced to areas they existed not all that long ago. The hope is to establish a huntable population.

Alaska has a insane cost of living and acess is poor unless one has planes, boats, etc.

Housing is not as far out of line as a large number of places I have been lately. Boats need not be expensive to open some areas for hunting and fishing. And they are always cheaper to rent.

Alaska sucks. Cost of living is off the charts, there are no roads to my favorite hunting spots, you gotta be rich to hunt any of the fun stuff, and there are places where even the water has been polluted with salt!
Soon as they pay me again for living here, I'm moving to Montana.

What people don’t understand is that it isn’t their favorite animal as much as diversity. There are 10 Big game species you can hunt in Montana, Alaska can’t make that claim let alone any other state in the lower 48.
I do believe we can make that claim - Alaska has: Black Bear Brown Bear Caribou Moose Dall Sheep Wolf Wolverine Elk Blacktail Deer Muskox Mtn. Goat That be TEN ELEVEN !!! Well if wolverine is a "biggame animal" a badger must be as well..

All joking aside, as far as hunting goes I could happily live in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming. I think I'd miss the ocean though.
I could see being a pre-snowbird where you leave AK in October and head south for some more hunting in MT. Then come back to AK when it it gets too cold in Montana.

A friend's daughter shot a 76 pound sea otter from my boat, legally... that is pretty fair-sized...

Dogshooter,
UNDERSTOOD. = When I was stationed in BRD & was a young/single guy, I was "fixed up with" a German girl by a friend. Jack said that she was "well endowed with great legs", GEORGIOUS & "a lot of fun". = That description was 100% true.
What he did NOT tell me was that she was 160# plus & nearly 7 feet tall in heels. = At 6 foot tall, I had never dated a grrl, who I had to stand on tiptoes to kiss BUT we made it work for several months.
(Gisela ended up in 1972 as an exchange student at Tulane University, where she met & married the center on the varsity BB team. = Last that I heard they were still married, with 6 grown kids & several grandchildren.)
yours, tex

Can you hunt polar bears if you're not a native?
