I did! Give up whitetail hunting to move to AK that is. Up until a year ago I was living a very good life hunting whitetail, mulies, elk, and turkey all fall and into the winter. Then a dream job opportunity came open and before I knew it my wife and I were packing our bags for Alaska. Moose have always been a critter I dreamed of hunting, now I have my chance. I did not hunt at all as a nonresident last fall, that was very hard to take. But I've spent the past year learning as much as I can and in a couple weeks I'll get my resident license. I can't wait! Something that is very different about Alaska is the access to all that remote wilderness. Best way to sum it up: it ain't cheap to get into some of that country. For example, I'm looking at driving 8 hours one way just to get to my air charter who'll fly me in 2 hours just so I can get to my starting point. When I was hunting in the lower 48, I was hunting within 10 minutes of walking out the door. It is a different ballgame up here. But when I return to the lower 48 someday, I'll bring back some wonderful memories of adventures I could never pull off anywhere else.
