Braun's notes -

2007 was once again a good year. We are looking forward to the 2008 hunting season.

Unfortunately, the Chugach Mountain range is going DRAW on Dall Sheep, with only 10% allowed for non-residents, which means only 4 permits allowed. Mountain Goats are also going DRAW. I will most likely drop my area in the Chugiach due to this, and take to the Southeast corner of the Talkeetna Mountain Range, which will give me most of the mountain range for Dall Sheep, Bear and Moose.

We generally hunt Brown Bears in the Talkeetnas.  A good time for this is September, when they're on the streams feeding on salmon. I also offer Spring Brown Bear hunts from April 15 to May 25 which we have had 100% success on.  Black Bears are numerous, and can be taken on a trophy fee basis.

I also have moose in my areas, with some 60"+ available.

We are a small, hard working outfit - nothing fancy.  We make it our priority to always give you a 100% effort.  I must also stress that my hunters should come in good physical condition, ready to hunt hard!

Thanks once again to all of this year's hunters, for making it such an enjoyable season, and for the friendships that were made. A very special thanks to all the hunters who worked really hard to arrive in good condition for their hunt.

I'd especially like to applaud my crew once again who worked really hard to make this a successful year: Dan Mielke, John Williams, Lance Kopsack and my wife Valeria Kopsack.  Also, thanks to pilot Bill Wiederkehr of Wiederkehr Air Inc.

Good hunting,
