What contest did you enter and draw the short stick in? Unalaska? Man, talk about the remote Alaskan experience!!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
I just about took a job in Akutan about 5 years ago working at the trident seafoods utilities plant. Passed it up for a better opportunity in Prudhoe, and that is where I have been working for the last 5-6 years. My home is in Fairbanks though.
I've noticed a book on e-bay titled, "so, you want to be an archer" They sell for a fair amount, and I've heard nothing but good feedback about that. I bought a book on bow tuning, but it was back in the two cam era when it was written, so it didn't help me an incredible amount with the mathews single cams.
Do you plan on hunting for caribou only, or are you headed out for brownies as well? What else roams around down there besides the small critters?
Welcome to the boards, we have a group of Alaskans that talk it up over on the west forum. Feel free to join on in and introduce yourself!
