Welcome once again to the forum Aitrus (you must be a fan of "Myst"),

Thanks for keeping your family's Krag history alive... I've enjoyed reading about it!

Good to hear from a fellow Alaskan...what brought your family up to Alaska and where did you live?

Many of us, who live up here, were transplanted by the military.

How Krags wind up where they do, is for the most part, a big mystery.  Many, as mentioned in other KCA post, were acquired through Bannerman or W. Stokes Kirk.  Back in the day (unlike the present) they were cheap and got the job done...as evidence by your father/father-inlaws hunting successes.

The area outside of Spokane has some nice hunting areas...maybe you can try and add some deer to your Krag's game getting success list! ;)

Once again thanks for sharing and Thank You for your military service.

BTW: Which military service did you retire from and what was your job???
