I fly up to Fairbanks on Thursday for six days, three of which will be camping in the wild and hunting fowl.

My friend in the Army was stationed in Texas is now in Alaska. Prior to Texas he was in Montana (excluding overseas deployments) so I once again will be able to shoot some full-auto.

Rat-a-tat-tat.

Camping in the wild...are you taking a bear gun?

Lol, first thing I thought of when I saw the title.

I don’t own a suitable bear gun and if I did I couldn’t easily fly with it. My friend will provide the shotgun and a suitable sidearm for where we are going.

Should be a fine trip.
Safe travels.
Pics. don't forget the pics.

I figured I’d get more hits with that subject over “I’m flying to Alaska”’

I knew that thread title rang a bell!

congrats on having one heck of a trip on tap .... visiting Alaska to hunt/fish has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember but I'm resigned to the fact it'll never happen .... sure hope you have a great one .... looking forward to your trip reports and pictures

Give that new camera of yours a good workout and share with us.

Enjoy. That is an awesome part of the world.

Well, I'm jelly! Sounds like fun! Enjoy!

Thanks all. I can’t wait.

Wishing all the best on your hunting trip. It sounds like an adventure.

Two hours to takeoff. This is the first legacy flight I’ve taken since 9/11. I’ve flown maybe a dozen times since but all have been regional and on float planes. Gotta love a Beaver and Otter. Isn’t this a 737 which was grounded up till a few months ago?

Not all 737s. Just the Max. And they are rolling them back out now.
Bon voyage buddy. Good hunting.

Thanks I flew on a 737-900ER. Nice plane and the security was a breeze. Touched down 30 minutes ago.

Happy hunting, safe travels!!!
P.S. I'm still jelly...

I arrived last night and hunted most of the day. This morning i shot 1 sand hill crane with 1 shot. Right now am taking a break as the birds are not flying.

My friend shot three and I shot two sand hill cranes. Ribeye in the sky.
