Fall day in Alaska's interior
« on: September 21, 2010, 12:46:00 AM »
Was out on Sunday, looking for moose and/or caribou.  Beautiful day and warm for this time of year got up to about 60 degrees, but it was chilly starting out, frost on the ground, ice on the edges of ponds.  Didn't see any moose or caribou, but hada a great time.  Was able to take a couple of ptarmigan and some beautiful pics of the country I am blessed to be able to hunt in.

Nick, man!

You aren't kidding, that really is some wonderful country! I don't think anything, anywhere else could compare.

You are, indeed, a fortunate hunter.

Where wer you Nick?  Looks like the Denali, and you are right it is tooooo warm right now.  We were at our cabin just south of Paxson, killed some grouse and got a lot of grayling, but the moose aren't talking yet where we were.

Actually Bill I was just south of Paxson also, Meier Lake area.  Trying to fill subsistence tags. Still going to try and fill the state tag in the Fairbanks management area, have until the end of the month and then another chance in Nov.

Absolutely beautiful.

I lived there from 85-88. I miss walking in true wilderness where seeing another human almost never happens. What range it that?

Thanks for sharing.  My brother lives in Eagle River.  He just came back from a week long hunt.  They had a good time but not many sightings.

Mr. ArcticArcher,
Didn't realize there were any other Trad Hunters in the Delta Junction area.
Was out looking for Grizz yesterday but only saw 3 Sharptail Grouse.  Nice day nevertheless.
Best Wishes
