North to Alaska!
North to Alaska!
My 3yr old GSP and I are going to be driving from Pennsylvania up to Fairbanks, Alaska to spend 6months (apr. to sept.) Looking forward to Grouse and Ptarmigan hunting. I dont really have a specific question; just seeking wisdom/advice. Thanks.
Re: North to Alaska!
Enjoy. Sounds like a trip of a lifetime. What's your GSP traveling in for the ride?
Re: North to Alaska!
She will travel in the cab of the truck with me. I'll have the truck box with me, but 4000 miles is a long and cold ride.
Re: North to Alaska!
Good luck. My boy lives up there and he tells me it gets to -40 at night. Dress warm

God I miss Alaska so much. Fresh roasted ptarmigan with crowberries, mm.
Jim McCann runs Britts up in F'banks. Very nice guy too, if you need advice I'd go to him.

Re: North to Alaska!
On a second look, April to September? You aren't going to be able to get much bird hunting done in that time frame, are you?
Re: North to Alaska!
Well, I will be working for the first part of the trip. Grouse and ptarmigan season opens about the second week in August. I should be finished working by then. So I will have almost 2 full months to hunt. I wish hunting was my only reason for this trip, but unfortunately I'm not made of money.dreamerofdreams wrote:On a second look, April to September?

Re: North to Alaska!
Your coming at a great time - the snow might not be totally gone, but it'll be definitely on it's way out (well, at least in Anchorage). Don't forget to add fishing to your itinerary! If you need further info, let me know.
