I tried to order this item for the hunter in my family and the order would not go through. Even after a very lenghty phone chat with an employee they could not and would not tell me why this item could not be sent to Alaska. No way can one speak to a person with authority to find out why this item will not ship to Alaska. So Cabelas got my order processed with no issue what so ever and the item is now in my hands.I would say the employees in this situation could care less of customer service. It would be nice if this issue could be forwarded to corporate headquarters. I gave amazon a one star on this due to this issue.
