Does anyone have any recommendations as to where the best bird hunting is within +- 1 hour drive from Anchorage? I am fairly new to hunting in Alaska and don't know the hunting areas very well. I'm looking to do a bit of either ptarmigan or grouse hunting after my moose hunt next week. If anyone is interested in teaming up for a weekend warrior hunt please pm me. I go to UAA and there isn't really a whole lot of people that are in to this sort of thing there. If you mention hunting around those people you get a look like your some kind of barbaric savage. **** hippies.
