Rick, dunno what happened to my first post, but,,,,,I live in Anchorage and can help if needed.
If he is working a summer program in Denali he is north of any good blackie hunting. Too many grizz up there. I also worked the park when I was in college as a shuttle bus driver. Am very familiar with the area and also just across the Denali highway toward Paxson. Don't worry about him hunting griz as he isn't able to being a non resident, would have to hire a guide. They aren't that bad anyway hahaha. Take Tom up on his offer to go across Katchemak bay for a shoreline Blackie. He knows his stuff and there are lots of bears there. I'd be glad to help anyway I can.
