I tell ya what: I've lived in the boonies of Alaska for going on 60 years and had to hunt for a lot of them. Here's what the folks who are thinking of taking up hunting are going to find out: You're going to get dirty, cold, hot, sweaty, wet, hungry, mosquito bit, bruised, skinned up, banged up, scratched up, TIRED, exausted, worn out, and you"ll step in poop of some kind somewhere along the way. BUT you're going to see some fine country and hear some total silence. It's just great to be out in the woods. But don't go alone, and know how to safely handle a gun. Oh yeah, and there's a bear behind every tree and every bush and he's craving a snack.
