I used to Canoe into an area that nobody hunted to hunt deer because it was the only way to access it.
I always left in the darkness and came back in the dark. One day I came out and there was a guy sitting there asking if I did any good. I told him I hadn't seen anything but since the rut was happening I might try it again in the morning.
When I got there in the morning he was there with his three buddies and their canoes. I just shook my head and pulled away.
Jokes on him though because I went to a different spot and launched my canoe and killed a solid 9 pointer that morning. lol
There are 3 times the water ways in Alaska than the lower 48. So every tom dick & Harry find their own. Plus 80% of the hunters don't have the guts or resources to go in these remote waters !!
