Hey everyone im getting on the plane for Alaska on Sunday.  Im going up there because I have been offered to be a hunting guide up there for a guy thats from where i live at.  Im going up there this summer to see how I like it and all and ill get to bear hunt while im up there.  Later everyone and hope yall have some good fishing while im gone.

Good luck,,,,,,,sure am jealous.  Being stuck here in the Georgia heat, and you being in Alaska, bear hunting and all....  take a pole, catch some salmon, they fight pretty good too.

yea the guy has me doing a week long camping trip on a river up there and im gonna do alot of fishing

Good luck, Be safe!!!!

What an opportunity, you'll learn a ton, about alllll kinds of cool stuff.  

If you get internet access, fill us in!

Will do Russ

So far this is wat i know I will be doing.

Sunday me and my sister are getting on the plane and the first few days me and her will be doing some hiking and sight seeing.  After that im getting together with Wesley(the owner of the outfitting service) and hes gonna gear me up for my week of camping on the Kenai(not sure about spelling)River.  Then Im taking a little bush plane to one side of a mountain where ill meet up wiyh him then we will hike over the mountain and scratch an airstrip for the bush planes and thats when ill be doing the bear hunting

Sounds like it will be a great experience.  But take it from me, bring heavy duty raingear, good waterproof boots, and lots of 100% deet - you'll be bathing in it.

if possible,...bring 2 sets of the above mentioned  ;D You'll use them.

I have heard that the skeeters in the south can not compare to those in Alaska. Please send us some pics if you can.

I must say i'm very jealous, it's been one year almost to the day since I was up there.  There is nothing like it!!!  

The 100% deet is an absolute must.  I remember taking the drive from anchorage to kenai and stoping at a rive to take some pics.  I was setting up the camera on a rock to take a pic and in a matter or 10 seconds, my hand had over a dozen skeeters on it.  Absolutely crazy.  Have fun and take some cool pics

My brothers up there working for the summer. Said the salmon just started running, you should check that out.
