I use to when I was in Alaska.
As I have said before, currently, unless you are rich and fly out, hunting in Alaska sucks.
The exception is duck and goose hunting. I use to go across Knik Arm to the hay flats and marshes between the Big Sioux and the Knik Arm. Some of the best duck and goose hunting in the world.
Cook Inlet has the highest tides in America. I had a 20 ft jon boat I would hunt and live in while hunting. When the tide was out, you had nothing but mud, tide was in, nothing but water.
I would anchor the boat in a cut in the mud with a bank about 8-10 feet higher then me. The geese would fly low over the mud, I would set and watch, when I saw the first beak over the bank I would stand up and they would flair, almost stopping in mid flight.
Then Reddy, my lab would go to work. I got a triple many times, poor dog got her work out, trying to figure which bird to get first.
But she loved it, as did I.
I got burnt out on eating ducks and geese, ran out of people to give them too so I pretty much gave it up.
My fondest duct memory was when I was hunting the marsh across the Knik Arm. Water was mid thigh deep.
I saw two guys and a kid a short distance away. The kid must have been 8-10.
Anyway I watched as he shot at a duck, hit it but didn't kill it. Of course the duck hit the water and dived. As you know, when wounded they often dive down grab hold of some grass and never pop up again. That's what this bird did.
The three of them search and searched and couldn't find the bird. I learned that this was the kids first duck and they didn't want to loose it.
I asked if they wanted help, and the father told me it was useless, the bird was tangled some where in the grass.
I pointed in the direction where I thought the bird hit the water and told Reddy "dead bird". I was almost like she watched the whole thing, she swim out a bit, dived and came up with the duck.
She started to bring it to me and I said "NO" and pointed to the kid. She took him the duck and I've never seen a happier kid. He would have paid a million bucks for that dog if he had it, but I wouldn't have sold her.
Best part about Bird Hunting is a good dog, there were no better the Reddy.
I gave up bird hunting altogether when she got old, crippled and I had to put her down.
