AMMO THROUGH CANADA
Can ammo be carried from lower 48 to Alaska and back? Thinking of shipping gun from Montana to Tok,AK. Would like to not need to buy ammo. Can ammo be shipped?

Yes I've fished the 'Ferry' probably a hundred times. In the 80's no one ever had a gun over there, maybe one guy out of hundreds. Now every other fisherman is carrying. There are more bears in the area but it's really not dangerous. We used to stay over when the ferry stopped at night to get those couple of hours crowd free. Never took the gun or felt like I needed it. Moving up the Russian is different, especially above the falls, but not at the confluence. And I know what you mean about Canada, always feels safe. So does Alaska except for the occasional drunk with a pistol. I've had some close encounters with bears over the years but only once fired my weapon and then only as a noise maker. Might as well have had bear bangers or pots and pans to bang. I just think if you're taking a gun might as well take something useful.
