Hello Everyone!
Just joined this site. Heard it was the "go to" for info on all things outdoor Alaska! Just moved up here in September of last year. I have been aching to get the Matthews out and go after some Black Bear. I am not one of those guys who just ups and goes and tears up everything along the way shooting at the first thing he sees. I was raised to be an ethical hunter/conservationists and I will carry that with me til the day I am long gone and will strive every day to pass it on to my newborn son! I try to get as much information as I can before I go out on any trip. That being said, I have tried to talk to as many people I can about where to go, who to talk to, etc, etc. Being a spouse on base its kinda hard to get away from that "army dude" assumption that we are just up here to be so called "slobs." Trust me I am long removed from that , but I do support my wife in everything she does as I was once in the service myself. I know the opportunities are out there but I also understand information is sometimes hard to come by. Just wondering if anyone had some valuable information that may help. I run my own business, "The Wooden Beard Woodworking", and would gladly trade some handmade furniture and such for some gratuitous help for tracking down some black bears!
