Vernon Evan:Vernon Evan
Subsistence Hunter Vernon Evan has been a subsistence hunter for many years. He was trained by experienced men who knew how to hunt. He used to watch how they set snares and traps. Vernon hunts all over the Marshall area going back of Pilcher Mountain, up and down the Yukon River and wherever the animals are. He starts hunting before daylight and returns home after dark. Vernon plans on hunting for many years but it all depends on the animal's numbers and the prices of their pelts. Many years ago, Vernon used to hunt with Moses Evan, Willie and Nancy Oney, and Ben and Charlie Fitka. His responsibilities include everything that is involved in hunting. The best thing about his job is fishing and the worst thing is not being able to work all the time. His advice to younger people is, "The only way someone can learn anything is for them to watch carefully and do the work necessary. In that way you will learn well." Interviewed by: ![]() | |
