Two of my sons and my grandson went deer hunting. They flew from Anchorage to Juneau and then took a small plane to Hoonah. This is where my other son lives. Hoonah is a Tlingit community on Chichagof Island where about nine hundred people live. “Alaska deer hunting, in terms of sheer numbers, is usually the best on Admiralty, Baranof, and Chichagof islands. Known as the ABC islands, these areas are host to a very abundant deer herd.” This trip has become annual, bonding and some years quite fruitful. I tried to locate one of my sons today and was shown a map with very little references to follow – that must be a good sign – they are out hunting. And then came the victorious picture. Success!!! And the hunt has just begun . . .
