The Alaskan model, also called Yukon, is characterized by its long and unique shape. It appears to be a happy blend of the Huron and Bear Paw models. It originated among the Indian nations of western Canada and the northern United States. It is used mainly for hunting during long periods of travel in open forests and plains. Its long streamlined tail helps maintain a straight trajectory. Very quiet and stable, its versatility makes it an ideal choice for long-distance hikes.
