What to Bring |
Place these items in the largest plastic ice chest that your airline will allow. On your return you can place your personal items in the plastic bags and put them along with your hides into the ice chest for shipping home. Most airlines allow two bags (ice chest) along with one carry on item such as your day pack. Check with your airline for latest regulations. |
Take one carry-on daypack with your choice of snacks. Some of these items are available in Koliganek but expect to pay triple due the expense of flying them in. |
Alaska hunt/trap license. You may purchase and print it online at http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/ |
A Ruger 10-22 mag is provided along with 150 rounds of ammo. We use solid point bullets as hollow points tend to blow up prior to penetrating deep enough to quickly and humanely harvest the wolf. Extra .22 mag ammo can be purchased at our cost if you need it. Let us pray you get enough shooting to need lots. |
Firearms |
If you prefer to bring your own firearm our suggestions are: A semi auto shotgun with modified or open choke and lots of 00 Buck. A mini-14 .223 without a scope. Your own semi auto .22 mag. In any case bring lots of ammo. Refer to this website for firearms shipping info http://www.alaskaair.com Click on TSA Security Restrictions for carry-on baggage. Click on Know before you go. Click on Transporting Firearms and other Sport-related items. |
