According to Wiki, there were only 317 of them built. Can you imagine what one would be worth today. We flew that trip out of Gulkana. I don't remember the air service.

I wondered about draw hunts there. Unit 13 was a good area back in the day if you flew in. I imagine wheelers are all over the place there now.

It is very busy in GMU13. It is primarily managed as a resident hunting area in this millennium. At least for ungulates. Who is John Galt?

According to wiki, they were built in the forties and fifties. It's a wonder any survive. The Beaver is quite a plane, too. Sorry to totally hijack the thread, reminiscing is getting the best of me.

You must be in Anchorage or the surrounding area. Could be worse. I could be on the Kenai. Luckily I live in a mosquito infested jungle with super deep snow and lots of overflow. P.S. I think there is a Widgen sunk in a lake about 7 miles from here. Last edited by Dirt; 02/18/19 02:13 AM. Who is John Galt?

Fishing at midnight, crying seagulls, the smell of campfires on the air, the sound of fireworks and .44 magnums. I had some property down there in the Soldotna area. Hunted all over the place.
