Something lurks beneath the surface of central Alaska. Up on land, reports of heightened electromagnetic activity and odd-acting animals are the norm, but is it because something deeply strange is causing these disturbances? In this episode, hear discussions on the mystery of the Alaskan Dark Pyramid, nuclear weaponry, an account from a United States Army counterintelligence officer, remote viewing data on what's happening underground in Alaska, the pyramids of Giza, the strangest Alaskan wildlife behavior you've never heard of, and more. In Fairbanks, Alaska in June of 2015, strange, eel-like, blood-sucking fish called lampreys fell from the sky and littered the city. It's important to note that they are seldomly caught and rarely even seen. A few months later, thousands of dead seabirds washed up in Whittier, Alaska. Around the same time in Afognak, just above Kodiak Island, about 10 whales washed up dead on the shore. In 2019, 60 seals washed up dead. Bizarrely, some were found to have lost all their hair. What caused it? 35,000 walruses gathered on a beach in western Alaska around the same time. That's seven times more than had ever been seen in one place before. What brought them to Alaska? Does that mean something is wrong? Some people think the strange behavior is from strange electromagnetics within the “Alaska Triangle,” and others just don't know what to think at all!

On this episode the Salty Hunter Podcast I'm joined by my buddy Jeremiah Palmer and his buddy Joe. Joe tells us of his hunting season this past fall column to include his elk hunt on Afognak. Joe's got one hell of a story to tell and lessons to teach us about hunting in bear country. He also tells an interesting story about why you need to have a subscription to your Garmin in reach. It was good to have these two guys sitting around the table swapping stories. Thank you all for listening. We love every damn one of you. Learn more about your ad choices.

PhD student and Wildlife Biologist Shannon Finnegan joins Ian Hudson and Adam Krick on this episode to talk about her extensive research with Kodiak brown bears and Roosevelt Elk on Afognak Island, Alaska. She details the process and challenges of her research. Be ready to get educated in this episode. You can reach Shannon on Instagram @shannonfinnegan8 or email her at shannonfinnegan8@yahoo.comFor questions, comments or inquiries check us out on Instagram @tongasstalk, @fishnchips15 and @up_akrick, we would love to hear from you.
Tongass Talk host Adam Krick (Colorado resident, formerly of Metlakatla) is back to talk about travel hunting, guiding elk in New Mexico, how that compares to hunting elk on Afognak, why Etolin elk hunting might be the most difficult hunt in Alaska, the problem with too much hunting content, how to be successful even when hunting well-known places, plus universal tactics for hunting and starting something new.
On this episode we talk with Marcus Helland about an elk hunt that him and Adam did a year ago on the famous "Kong Island." Listen in as we detail the hunt with Ian Hudson. Video linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGCbG7yAQ1w
This week on the show, Remi tells a story about a gnarly trip to Afognak Island in Alaska that ended with some nasty gut issues. He also covers everything you need to know about water purification and filtration.

Adam Krick has wasted no time becoming an Alaskan. Since moving to Metlakatla four years ago he has taken an elk on Afognak, a caribou in the interior and bear and deer in southeast. He and I talk about his elk trip to Afognak, making the most of the lifestyle here, steelhead fishing, deer populations and what it's like to be an athletic director in Alaska.
On the second episode of the show, Remi describes a jarring bear attack on Afognak Island, what the experience taught him about why bears attack, and what to do should you be confronted with the worst case scenario.

Afognak Island is a small land mass about 20 miles long and 40 miles wide off the coast of Alaska in the Kodiak archipelago. There aren't many reasons to visit this place and even fewer motivations for someone to take up residence on the island. In fact, there are only 39 permanent human residents today, most of which are workers at a state-run salmon hatchery. There are no roads, bars, grocery stores or shopping malls on Afognak, but there is a large population of Kodiak brown bears and a few healthy herds of Roosevelt elk. It's a harsh place that defines the environment of coastal Alaska. Wild swings in weather produce a climate that can feel like a rainforest in the summer and a despotic tundra when winter arrives. This place is no tourist destination, and it doesn't suffer fools. It's an unpredictable domain that calls for preparedness and as such, attracts some of the most dedicated hunters to its shores. Brad Jameson is one of those hunters. He's an experienced outdoorsman well-versed in wilderness medicine and survival. He'd hunted the island before without a hint of trouble, bringing home hundreds of pounds of venison and avoiding even a casual run-in with a brown bear. On Oct. 23, he boarded a boat with four hunting buddies to head back to Afognak. It was a normal trip for the Alaska residents, and they were looking forward to a tough-as-hell hunt. Three days later everything would change. Brad suddenly found himself five yards from an old sow with nowhere to run and only a moment to prepare himself for what was to come next. Be sure to listen to my entire podcast with Brad to hear his jarring story of grit and survival and how he made it out alive.

Many of us dream of pulling off an Alaskan hunting trip. This week, we talk with our friend Dwayne Spiess from New York about his advice and experience with hunting Sitka Blacktail Deer on Kodiak, Afognak, and Raspberry Islands. This is a challenging, exciting and affordable Alaskan hunt which is comparable in price to a guided mid-western whitetail trip. Dwayne breaks down his trip and offers some practical and useful advice for hunting strategies, gear and getting your meat home. Dwayne and his partner were on Afognak Island just a couple of weeks after the Meateater Crew's epic bear tree incident last fall. Did Dwayne and his partner encounter a bear?
