Just had one of the attorneys that works with my wife bring back a book. I do believe I have turned his wife from a animal rights leaning person to a person who understands and agrees with hunting now. She tried the Moose meat I brought to the last office function, and now wants to try Caribou. She also wants a Beaver pelt. After reading the book she also talked her husband into taking her rafting down the Chena river to see wildlife, and the Moose hunters hunting the river.
I often loan books out to new people that come to Alaska. I have one that I try and get most people to read, it's titled "The Alaska Wolf Man" The life and times of Frank Glasser. Frank Glasser came to Alaska just after the big gold rush. He was a meat hunter, trapper, dog musher, freighter, guide, and government collector of wild life for the USGS, then last a predator control officer. In this book Frank answers many questions from first hand experience about how the animals live and interact with one another. He gives the answer as to why you never want to take a male animal during the rut, and the reason the meat is so ineatieble.
If you ever get the chance "Alaska's Wolf Man" is a very good book to read. Rog Hunter
