I FEEL I SHOULD SHARE THIS WITH YOU GUYS... The word Alaska means “The Great Land,” and the state’s nickname is “The Last Frontier.” Both are appropriate monikers for a state containing huge swaths of wild country and uninhabited areas—a true hunter’s paradise, home to North America’s largest and most sought-after game animals. Covering 365,000,000 acres, an area one-fifth the size of the entire United States, Alaska has plenty of room for the adventurous hunter to roam. Alaska has more than a dozen species of big-game animals as well as excellent small game and waterfowl hunting opportunities. Big-game species include bison, caribou, elk, muskox, wolves, black bears, Dall sheep, moose, brown and grizzly bears, Sitka black-tailed deer, and mountain goats. Most hunting in Alaska occurs between August and October, but bears may be taken in either fall or spring in some locations. Alaska requires nonresidents hunting brown/grizzly bears, Dall sheep, or mountain goats to be accompanied by an Alaska-licensed guide or by an Alaska resident at least 19 years of age who is a close relative, defined as within the "second degree of kindred.” Nonresident aliens are required to have a guide to hunt any big-game animal in Alaska. All big-game guides in Alaska must be licensed by the state.
For some hunts in Alaska, it is possible to hire a transporter instead of a guide. These are licensed individuals and companies who help hunters get to remote areas by bush plane, boat, horse, ATV, snow machine, etc.
All is well, when you are calm and bold.

I took it as yanking our chain a bit, perhaps even with a bit of humor. 6 posts, so it's too early to tell. I'm withholding the GFY until then, tho.

Alaska has been a dream of mine since I was very small. Life and decisions got in the way. Then, as I realized my son was graduating HS - I said that I'd show up to his graduation with my chit packed, ready to head north.
Didn't happen.
I still dream of Alaska - as a destination, not a visit but am so old and set in career - I don't think I'll make it up there anymore, not as a permanent move. That said - will likely take a week vacation there in the next 2 years. No clue where or just what I'll do but I need to go and see for myself. Might bring a stack of resumes with - who knows.

The wording sounds strangely placed...
Teal-- 54 here, 17 years into a 20 year retirement, of which the city screwed me for 2 more of those years, I said they were so crooked, corrupt and didn't care, wife told me to get. City would kill me from stress.
I did just that last year. Started a new career.
That career is a killer right now with stuff going on, I was about set to start making what I used to make dollar wise but this 19 thing..
I don't regret one minute.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I don't regret one minute. Yeah - I don't know. I'm a logistics wonk but logistics down here is VASTLY different than what's in AK, I'm sure. I've with a great woman who still has kids in high school, asking her to bail on them to their dad or pull them out - not the person I am. That said - maybe, who knows. I'm always sort of looking and once the boys are out - I'll likely engage more serious. 43 years old here so I have a little time. Would likely engage a professional recruiter once looking for real as what I tend to find on my own - all retail work at 11 an hour.

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!
