Darryl Thompson has hunted moose for 60 years. He’s the Togiak public works director, and he looks forward to the season opening on Friday.
“There’s a lot of moose in the region, so it’s not usually a hard hunt to do,” he said.
But Thompson said that conditions can be treacherous for hunters on snowgoes, so they usually hunt in groups.
“What we’re worrying about is, we’ve had so much rain and warm weather that ponds or lakes or rivers have a lot of water on top of the ice, so you got to be careful that you don’t get stuck in overflow. Especially with the soft snow,” he said.
