Lucky! I would focus on getting out as much as possible while you're in Washington... expect much worse weather conditions in Alaska and begin getting your rain/snow gear and layering system dialed in... Alaska is a great place to hunt, but all trips are adventures... make sure you're prepared for the worst!!!

Have a blast and good luck getting moved up there! If you really want to get to know the country/animals, consider becoming an apprentice guide under one of the many great outfitters up there... it'll take you a few years to become a full fledged guide, but the time and experience will definitely be worth every second!!!

Thanks Seacat.Good advise.I can't wait to go to Alaska.To be more specific,I'm hoping on moving to the little centralish town of Delta Junction.
