Why do you want to hunt on a military base?

Can give opportunity where none exist for species that I don't commonly have access to.

Also because of the level of control, it is less common to have people that are tied to the military be dicks as they share the field.

Being retired military can be like having the golden ticket for many things. Problem is I constantly forget I’m retired military and don’t remember to utilize things like this.
Thanks for the reminder! I’m going to start researching that moose hunt on Elmendorf.
I meet the criteria for a good opportunity.
32 years active duty.
