Dan I've been here since retiring from the military in 2003. I live south of Anchorage though. Grouse-not all that plentiful and you can kill them with rocks most of the time. Clays- don't know. It is 90% big game here. What size drilling do you have? Any with a rifle as least 7x57 will work but, you'd be better off having a dedicated rifle. I have a gunshop down in Sterling next to the Kenai river. It's much easier to let the Army ship your weapons. The last I heard there's a $50 tax per weapon crossing the Canadian border. If you are pulling anything on the ALCAN beware of the frost heaves. Going to fast over them can tear a trailer/boat up. Buy gas whenever you get to 1/2 a tank. From Seattle it took me 4 days in a 26' uhaul truck pulling an 18' trailer. Beware of animals crossing the road in the dark. We dodged wild horses, buffalo, wild sheep, wild goats, deer and black bear. Ptarmigan-off the road and lots of altitude. Questions go here.
