Maule fun in Alaska

Recently, I had the chance to go moose hunting in Alaska with some friends. We landed on a frozen meadow near the Yukon river. My moose pack was about 40 yards to my airplane. Frozen meadows are like concrete. Enjoy the pics.

Nice pics, looks like a beautiful day.

How far away from civilization were you? I would worry about the plane not starting from the cold and freezing out there....

The tempatures were high enough that I didn't need to preheat. Just in case I carry a Coleman sportster dual fuel stove with a dryer vent adapter to preheat my plane. This setup cost me about $70 instead of 5-600 for a Northern Companion. A coffee can works good as a windbreak. I was in the Lower Yukon. We started hunting at 8:30am and by 10-11 we had 3 moose down. 4 hunters and 3 moose were fine odds for us.

I was about a 20 min flight from the town where I live.
