I was hunting moose near Anchorage Alaska in the Nalchina Public Use Area, a huge tract of land dedicated to people to enjoy the woods.
In Alaska, hunters are allowed to hunt moose for subsistence, that is, for food.
The requirements to harvest are that the moose must be a bull of a specific size or larger.
I had been hunting in my secret spot for about 8 years and it had been a reliable place to find bull moose that met the subsistence hunting minimum size requirements for each of the last 8 years.
This is no small feat in moose hunting and this place is what hunters call a “honey hole”.
That means that is a sweet spot to harvest the target animals.
