Here's what the experts say about Hunting in Alaska:
"Hunting in Alaska is a massive, 432-page book by Chris Batin and is without a doubt the definitive work on hunting the 49th state. It has everything you ever wanted or needed to know about planning a successful Alaskan hunting adventure. It is the standard by which other Alaska hunting books will be judged." --Bob Robb, Petersen's Hunting magazine
"Batin's 432-page opus could be classified as a textbook on hunting in Alaska. However, it is much more than that. Hunting in Alaska is well written and chock full of interesting facts about Alaska hunting. It is one of those books the reader is reluctant to put down once he has opened it." --John Chamberlin, Book Author/Outdoor Writer, Northlake News, WA
"Batin is an Alaskan and part and parcel to the Great Land. Only an Alaskan such as Batin could write this book. It's his land, and he knows it better than any visitor ever could." --From the Foreword by Craig Boddington
"Whenever I've felt the need, which is often, to refer to a higher authority on hunting and Alaska's big game animals, I've gone to Jack O'Connor's Big Game Animals of North America. So it is with a bit of surprise that I've decided I will no longer turn to O'Connor for the bottom line on Alaska hunting. Instead, I will now refer to Hunting in Alaska: A Comprehensive Guide. Whatever you want to know about hunting in Alaska today, if an answer exists, you're most likely to find it in Batin's new book. I expect it to become a classic, 'how-to-do-it'-reference, and a good friend." --Ed Cooper, Outdoor Editor, Anchorage Times
"Batin offers you a wealth of information in this book, plenty of hard data presented in an easy-to-read style. Any hunter even considering a hunt in Alaska should study this book, read it repeatedly and take copious notes." --Huntech magazine
"Batin's crisp, clear writing reflects in-the-field experience and lots of scientific research. It's worthwhile for bowhunters." --Bowhunter magazine
"If you've ever dreamed of hunting in Alaska, Hunting in Alaska will answer every question you have about this subject. It is a thoroughly researched, handsomely designed 432-page guide with a wealth of maps and photos." --Gerald Almy, Field Editor, Sports Afield magazine
"I've had the opportunity to hunt caribou with Chris Batin; and while I have hunted with a lot of sportsmen over the years, I can truly say that no one surpasses Chris when it comes to having total respect for the game. He's a sportsman in the truest sense of the word." Jay Cassell, Senior Editor Sports Afield magazine
"Wow! What a great guide for anyone contemplating a hunting trip to the 49th state! Batin really knows his stuff, and puts it together into one outstanding book." Steve Comus, Hunting Editor Western Outdoors magazine
"Award-winning writer Chris Batin has penned a new volume on his home state that lives up to its name: Hunting in Alaska: A Comprehensive Guide." National Rifle Association American Hunter magazine
