Welcome to AAS, my name is Mike Zweng Like many of you my boyhood dream was to wander the mountains and valleys in search of giant bears, majestic moose, and the other great species that this land has to offer. This dream became a reality when I first hunted moose near the Iditarod River many years ago. Since that time I have guided sheep in the Tok Management Area, Interior Grizzly Bear, Moose on the Alaska Peninsula, and of course the Giant Bears of Kodiak Island. To be in the presence of these spectacular animals and to have the privilege of sharing the same surroundings is something that cannot be taken for granted and is held sacred to me. I am first and foremost a conservationist that is committed to not only leaving no trace on the land, but to also minimize impact to the wildlife that calls this place home. I believe that hunting is an important part of managing wildlife so that all future generations will be able to experience the same opportunities we have today. As a good steward of these natural resources it is important to be a part of the system that manages these resources and work with others so they can be enjoyed indefinitely. I am a very small operation and only conduct few hunts each spring and fall. Most hunts are guided by myself. If you are looking for personalized service and a small scale operation, you have found the right place. Hunting on the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge I am fortunate to be the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge special use permit holder to conduct big game guided hunts in Kiliuda Bay. The National Wildlife Refuge is a very special place that allows our hunts to take place in an unspoiled wilderness. Guided hunting is a part of the management of the wildlife present on the refuge and I am proud to part of it. President Franklin Roosevelt created the Kodiak National Wildlife refuge in 1941 to protect Kodiak Bears and their Habitat
