Time of the year
It is extremely important to do proper research before you go for hunting in Alaska. Animals may be scarce even where good habitat exists, depending on which month of a year you are hunting in. At the same time, there may be abundance of animals in any other part of the state. Between their seasonal ranges, a number of big game species in the state make long migrations. Hence, careful planning and homework are the keys to successful hunting in Alaska. -
