Very nice! Some good eating for the winter!

One of the things I miss most is the fall moose hunt, from when I lived there. I hunted a time or two out of a F&G check station off the mid-Yukon river due to knowing the F&G employee that manned the check station and various other places around the Y-K Delta, including the Aniak river! Moose meat is much better as far as I was concerned than whitetail or mule deer, a toss up with elk. Never did a 14 day hunt, usually 4-6 days and having a plane, along with my hunting buddy who had a Cessna 180, we'd usually fly somewhere, where we could land, such as a sandbar or hardened lake bed on a remote river or slough and hunt out of the camp we'd set up. I had an 11' Zodiac with a 9.9 hp motor we take along to ply the rivers. Very slow going in the Zodiak with the two of us and a whole moose loaded in it!

I did fly around the Salmon river, off the Aniak looking for a strip to land on for a bear hunt, but never did follow up with a bear hunt. I wish I had!
