Don't forget snow shoe hares. This used to be my favorite time of year for them. Snow shoe off the road and find a strip of sunlit alder. Sit down on a log about 20 yds from the alders and wait. the bunnies will move in the sun to get warm. Perfect for a .22.

Mike- From Seward, travel back toward Cooper Landing to Mystery Creek Rd. Turn left and head for the creek. As you near the creek, look to the rt. There's a ridge covered in birch that always has grouse. Go to the end of the Texaco runway and there's a road to the left that will take you to the Chickaloon mud flats. Hump about two dozen Canada deeks to the flats and set up where ever you feel comfortable. Never seen so many geese in one place in my life. Life is good in Alaska. Just two more mos 'till soft water.
