Ok.......what are you doing? I am pointing out the server problems out there in 19C for non residents to even consider booking hunts. Are there good outfits there? Yes plenty. Are there bad ones? Plenty. A good outfitter who runs a good business' and is a good guide still has their hands...
Did you not read that I don't know. It is not my outfit and i am not in a position to advertise those numbers either. I just am 100 percent on rifle sheep hunts in my camp. That is not "pimping" anything.
Where am I advertising where these non residents should spend their money at? I have...
You'll be waiting a long time because I am not stating the outfitters I work for status on an open forum of their entire operation. Not going to happen. And to be honest, I don't know what it is the last few years. I am over 50 miles away from the outfitter that employees me. We have...
26B is primarily state land areas that have the same issues as 19C. Unlimited guides selling unlimited permits.
I'm not changing your mind, you're not changing my mind about 19C being a good thing it is closed and that non resident hunters dodging an overcrowded and low numbers of legal rams...
That's the problem with state land hunts. Its never going to change. They may say a DNR guide use concession program is coming but it never does and as you stated we will be right back where we are now after it opens back up. The capitalist economy is the only hope. Enough starved off...
Forgive me, since you mentioned me by name, You many know me but I am not sure who you are. My apologies.
Apparently it has not been beat enough because non residents were still giving 19c a serious look up until the AK BOG put a stop to the madness in 19c; hopefully the bear, moose and...
Count your blessings that the AK BOG has voted to shut this area down for 5 years. You have saved yourself a lot of heartache and cash that you can use towards a quality outfit and area WITHIN ALASKA. Look into areas in the state of AK that have federal concessions........ie one outfitter...
10x binos
8x lightweight scope with 10x being max. More important is having a low power setting IMO for hiking in the alder river bottoms for the always present long claw grizzlies
65x spotter with a doubler (1.6x Kowa) to make scope a 96x. If solo id consider dropping down to ultralight...
The next allocation issue on the horizon in AK that will address this will be the DNR proposal of State Land Outfitter Concessions. This will ultimately be the best thing for all recourses and non resident hunters alike in this primarily AK state land GMU area. Currently in 19c and many other...
Great News on AK BOG closing 19C for non resident take for 5years. Should have been done years ago but the bulk of the guiding activity in this unit are non residents taking non resident hunters, this influential group were against this.
Aside from the obvious crowding issues this will...
