A land of 3 million lakes and the largest land mass of any state in the country, Alaska is a sportsman's paradise . The rich heritage of hunting, shooting and fishing invites some of the best sporting opportunities in the world.
With harsh winters on one side of the calendar and endless summer days on the other, Alaskan conditions vary greatly from one extreme to another. It's important for residents to stay prepared for anything mother nature can throw their way, both for survival and to have some fun along the way.
Game & Fish recently had an unbelievable chance to visit the home of former Alaskan Governor and Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin . She and her husband Todd reside in a modern cabin-style lakehouse that pulls out all the stops. It's truly a sportsman's paradise, thanks to Todd Palin's extraordinary aircraft hangar turned extreme man cave.
