Rob, my company was doing security work for the pipeline many moons ago and I secured residential status back then since I lived there 7 months out of the year. It's how I met one of the guys that owns the property I hunt there. That would be how I could take Cow's back then. All totaled there are 12 people that own that property (or rather own the rights to it) and they always submit my apps and such for resident status. The past 20 years, this will be the first year I haven't hit Alaska because of a pretty nasty knee injury. Us old farts don't bounce like you pups. We sorta splatter
But the past 20 years aren't the only years I've Moose hunted. Been going up there on and off for well over 45 years. But yes it is a really good gig with tons of Moose action. It's fly in only and lots of nice bottom swamp areas. Great for Fall hunts. Bad for recovery (getting a Moose out of loose,wet, deep, sticky mud aint fun).
