Well, we live with wolves all around us (I’m in the Alaskan Bush about 280 miles west of Fairbanks).

Yep, I’d call that smack dab in the middle of no where Alaska. Except for one thing, It its Ruby, you have a road, and a river.

Our wolves haven’t kept me from filling my freezer with moose every year. Sorry to be unpopular.

Not unpopular where I’m concerned, as previously stated Nature needs balance, and man is in charge, not the idiot environuts.

Back when I lived in Fairbanks, you needed a ton or two of equipment to bring in a moose. Airplane with tundra tires, Snow machine and sled, chain saw, gun, four wheel drive vehicle and trailer, winch, chain hoist, big freezer, and if you were stupid enough to kill one while the lakes were not yet frozen, and he died in the water, uh oh...

...and then some nautical stuff, like a boat and trailer.

Used to fly over your area back in the seventies when I was stationed at Eielson AFB. Never got a moose, but kind people were always sharing theirs. MMMMM MMMMM good.

Hey Wita!

Sorry, it’s not Ruby. You get two more guesses! And we don’t have a road.

Sorry to hear about the tech-heavy hunting in Fairbanks. We get ours with a 17-foot Roughneck, a 50-horsepower Honda 4-stroke and my dad’s old M1 from World War II. Yeah, it’s a drag if it falls into the water. Hasn’t happened to me yet, but it does, I have a wench to pull it out. Hand-cranked. That ought to be a fun day in the woods.
