When you’re taking photos of a memorable Alaska hunt or fishing trip, take the time to set up the shot and remember to take several images just in case. The more you take, the more likely you’ll have at least one that will turn out great! (PAUL D. ATKINS)
ost hunters who come to Alaska come for one reason, which is to capture some of the magic that our great state has to offer. Summer tourists do the same. If you don’t believe me, come north in June and July. Some save a lifetime of travel funds to see it, while others take it for granted. One way or the other, it will be etched in your mind forever. If you live here, then you know already. But Alaska is big; when you do see it, it might only be once. Memories are all we have, anyway, and those memories will be cherished for years to come. Whether it’s the big moose on the wall or the bear in the den, they’re there to remind us of that time we spent in the Alaskan wilderness. However, one thing that is sometimes overlooked is the photos we bring back from the field too.
