     Near death on Beaver Creek

    Lee's boat ready to go as set up in Arkansas...

    [This isn't a hunting story per se, but I believe anyone contemplating a float hunting trip will glean useful information from this story -- David]

    I am 65 years old and all my life I have wanted to make a solo trip into the Alaskan wilderness, but have always had either time or money restrictions. Finally in the summer of 2004 I decided that at my age if I was going to do it I had best get at it.

    ....... I have never needed to be rescued---until I came to Alaska!  Read more >>>

     News and updates

    The Transportation Safety Administration has been developing new rules that will affect hunters coming to Alaska by air. Certain matches and lighters will no longer be allowed in baggage or on one’s person. Until now, it has been possible to carry certain kinds of matches and lighters with you, but not in baggage. Hunters should keep this in mind as plans for upcoming Alaska trips develop and make alternate plans on the Alaska end to obtain the “hazardous materials” (including matches and lighters) that will be needed. 

    More news and updates:

    • Alaska hunting regulations changes proposals available
    • Predator management on track for this winter in various parts of Alaska 
    • Alaska deer harvest survey results online now
    • Great Alaska Sportsman's show April 7-10 in Anchorage
    • Alaska Bowhunters awards banquet March 26 in Anchorage
    • Alaska Outdoor Council annual meeting April 7-10 in Anchorage
