Hey yall,

New member here currently living in Eagle River, Alaska. I grew up hunting deer and birds in PA, spent sometime in England where i did a unsuccessful red stag hunt, and prior to Alaska I was in AZ for a few years where I donated money to F&G each year in the point based draw system haha.

So far in AK I've done a few different hunts but have only been successful on a spring black bear tag so far. Hunting up here is way different than what I am used to so its been a fun learning curve. This year my wife drew a mountain goat tag so we'll be busy getting prepared for that hunt.

I look forward to learning more from this forum. Heres a pic of my bear last year taken in Ewan Bay in Prince William Sound.

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new member.

I’m in eagle river too, any advice, groups to join? Embarrassed to say I’ve never hunted before, only shooting experiences were in the military. (Not a combat arms guy either)

Check out the Fallen Outdoors group on Facebook. Good group to get with they work to get veterans out for fishing and hunting. I have a jet boat and try and get vets and active duty people out, I live in Anchorage but lived in Eagle River for twenty years.

Greetings. ER is a beautiful area. I was born at Ft. Wainwright and raised in Salcha (45ish miles SE of Fairbanks). Did my junior and senior high schooling on Eielson AFB. Took many a moose during my years there. Hopeful that I will be able to return one day. I sure do miss that Arctic Wonderland!
