themax_ak Report post Posted December 9, 2007 I have a boat and a cabin on the Kenai River in Alaska and will swap out some fishing time on my boat for some hunting information (good spot to hunt) or a hunting partner. I'm here for the season and have a motorhome and pickup truck and am hunting alone. email thejacks@gci.net Max Jackson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themax_ak Report post Posted December 12, 2007 What are you interested in hunting? Are you looking to hunt in any particular part of the state?? Let us know and you will likely get lots of info I'm pretty flexible. I used to hunt down south near Douglas until they shutdown acess through the Snure Ranch. I also tried the Chiricahua mts south of Wilcox, but never found an area I liked. I've also looked over some of the area in The Tonto south of Payson. I'm used to hunting from treestands in Wisonsin, so don't know how to hunt these Coues deer. I've successfully stalked other critters with my bow for the last 50 years. I'd like to find an area 2 to 3 hours from Mesa where I can leave the motorhome and hunt from my truck or trail bike. I can then drive the truck into Mesa when I need to.

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted December 14, 2007 Noel, Gustavus is a neat place! Several years ago, I flew in there and spent a couple days at the Gustavus Inn. I was there mostly to take photos in the NP, so I didn't do any fishing. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noel Arnold Report post Posted December 14, 2007 Tony, I am really looking forward to going.One of our friends that is going lives in Alaska and he says it is one of the most scenic spots. Last year at Sitka was my first time to Alaska and I fell in love. Noel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outdoor Writer Report post Posted December 15, 2007 If you have extra time while you're in Gustavus, book a trip on the tour boat that leaves from the Glacier Bay NP lodge. It's a well spent few hours. Of course, you'll probably see many of the same areas on your fishing trip. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halibuthead Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Are you a guide on the Kenai? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themax_ak Report post Posted December 30, 2007 Are you a guide on the Kenai? No. I just fish there a lot. Know any good hunting spots here? Or just curious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halibuthead Report post Posted December 31, 2007 No. I was just curious. I am a legal registered guide on the saltwater. I know that private boaters who offer their services for trade are walking a fine line legally. It might be better to say "Looking for a hunting partner who might want to become friends and join me fishing in Alaska as well". Otherwise legally you may not trade or barter services. That would be considered guiding. Alot of us pay big money and have years and hundreds of thousands invested to be able to offer those services. Not making a stink rather just giving you a heads up. Good luck on your quest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted May 16, 2009 I would love to go to AK again. Grew up spending the summers up there from when I was 9 until I was 19. Caught a lot of nice fish. If I was going to go again it would need to be for about 2 weeks and getting that much time off would be difficult without leaving time for other vacations.
