    Alaska Sheep, 19C Working Group

    Proposal 101 by ADF&G for the upcoming statewide BOG meeting is getting sheep added to the IM species list. Lets hope the BOG approves it to get that ball rolling.

    WP 24-26 extend sheep closures in units 26 and 24

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    You've got a good blueprint drawn out here. I would suggest, for contract simplicity, charging the 30K upfront and if a reasonable opportunity (your 400 yd mark) is not met then the client gets 20K refunded. Also, to instill confidence in your clients, in terms of a legal ram, I would suggest...

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    I think everyone is missing some key factors with this idea. Just because the option will exist to bank six points across all species doesn't mean people will take it. Under the current system most applicants do not apply for all species available. Very few do in fact, and a lot don't apply...

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    I’ve drawn a couple good tags over the years and think the current system is fine for the most part. Was just gauging what others thought of a specific type of point system. Every year after results are announced you hear the call for a points system but nobody ever says what kind they’d want.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    I think an AK residents chances of drawing a delta bison tag are about 0.1% anyhow. Up to 50 tags available this year and about 40,000 applicants most likely.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    What about one point awarded per applicant per year? No matter how many hunts you put in for. The rest of the system stays the same as it is now, up to six choices per species and totally random. You can bank your one point a year and use it on any species you choose when you want. What AK...

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    I think there is a way to do a rewards point system and not screw everything up. Maybe it’s not as simple as carrying over your choices from year to year but there’s a way to implement a system that is fair but rewards people who are in it for the long haul.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    What’s The draw % on a Nevada bighorn tag? As bad as a delta bison tag at less than 1%? I would wager there are more applicants in Nevadas system than Alaska’s. Which would add more points into their system and overall not changing the odds much.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    I was being sarcastic. There’s always something to do! Bison and muskox could be a good test run for this type of system. Can’t get much lower then less than 1%! And with bison being 1 tag every 10 years, once someone loses their points they are out of the mix for a decade.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    Maybe an intent to hunt requirement for all tags? They do it for Muskox and Kodiak bear tags. Why not for all? Probably won’t amount to a ton of tags transferred but would be some.

    Just spit balling an idea… be cool.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    It’s a BOG decision. That’s how the system evolved to where it is now. Used to only be 1 choice per hunt number and 3 choices per species. There was a proposal a year or 2 ago to up the the chances from 6 to 10 or 12 and the BOG shot it down because it catered to people with more money to spend.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    I don't envision people having to accumulate to many years worth of points to draw a tag for most species. I don't apply in other states so I'm not familiar with all the other points systems. What other states have a random bonus point system like the one I proposed?

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    People have put in proposals for a point system in the past but I don't believe a specific point system plan has been proposed. I think when most people think of a point system they think preference points which is why the topic never goes anywhere. When your chances at some tags are already...

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    Long read but it's late winter so what else is there to do? Currently, AK’s draw system is a random non-accumulating bonus point system. Applicants can put in up to a maximum of six chances (bonus points) per species. All six chances can be placed on a single hunt number (DI403x6) or split...

    AK Sheep, Population Observations

    Hunted the DCUA last week for my cousins tag and it is slim pickings for older rams. Saw 15 rams and 2 of those were solid maybes. Sheep seem to be real spread out as well. Hunted the same area 5 years ago on my tag and saw 30 rams with 10 being clearly legal. couple more years with good winters...

    WSA 22-02 affects Sheep hunters in GMU 24A and 26B (Dalton Hwy Corridor)

    https://www.blm.gov/visit/dalton-highway Here is a map of federal land along the Dalton hwy. I doubt we'll see a user friendly map that details the exact closed areas. But it is all federal land in units 24A and all of 26B West of the Sag.
