Hello,
I am moving to Fairbanks after I ETS for the Army around Aug 2017 and attending UAF that fall. Me and my wife are avid upland game bird hunters from the Pacific Northwest and love taking out our German shorthair out hunting Grouse, Quail, Dove and Pheasant. How is the upland bird hunting in the Fairbanks area? How do German Shorthair Pointers do in the extreme cold? I'm currently stationed at Ft. Hood Texas and he does great for Doves during very hot days but not so well on cold days. I used to hunt Grouse in Oregon all the time and we shot them off the gravel roads, but I am not sure if upland bird hunting is similar in Alaska. I would love any tips and peoples 2 cents. I am also highly interested in Hare hunting and big game hunting. I own one 20GA, one 12GA, one .22, One 35 Whelen, One .44 Mag and my wife is deciding on either a 30-06 or 300 Win Mag at the moment. I would like any other opinions on firearms I should consider.
