Thursday, September 2nd

Good morning! It's a cool start to the morning here. We have clear skies which has allowed us to cool off rather quickly this morning. The NWS is still predicting a rather mild weather pattern for the next seven days. They are calling for highs in the mid 60's and lows in the 30's. Honestly, that is incredible for September. We typically have our first snow sometime in the month of September. We will just have to wait and see how it plays out this month.

As I mentioned yesterday, moose hunting season has opened. I wanted to give you some information on hunting moose in Alaska, in case you ever decide to make your way up here for the relatively short season.

1. You have to be at least one-half mile from the road to shoot a moose.
2. You cannot hunt on the same day you fly in.
3. Only one moose per person and you must have a tag for it.
4. Only bulls may be hunted, unless you have drawn a special cow tag.
5. It is illegal to feed alcoholic beverages to moose. (I'm not sure why you would even do this. If you are close enough to a moose to give it alcohol, you're close enough to shoot and kill it)
