We are due S of Wien lake about 10 miles-about 10.5 from the cabins at Wien Lake. Near Ose Mtn named for Duane Ose who trapped along toward Minchumina until his wife from Canada-Rena-died about 5 years ago She did the skinning and hide prep work.
Gas prices now are out of the roof. I flew a Maule and Super Cub up there W/O a ticket.
Prefer a lever action like a Wincheter 1886 or Model 71 because of fast handling in the cold interior and bears. Last moose taken with a 348 Ackley Improved which is like a 35 Whelen as to ballistics.
Now have a 3rd gen AAHE and a XE, BE and Super Fox-along with a Smith Long Range. All backed up with two Win M-12 heavy Duck guns. Can't have too many guns when in the frozen North. Friend of Phil Shoemaker-guide out of Wasila.
