    TMA overflight update

    You brought up the 30 year point, and the past 60 years. I was talking about new news and was told that it was negligible.

    The survey count 30 years ago(1994) in Unit 20A was the low point in sheep numbers since the bad winters a few years ago. Ak Fish and Game numbers not mine.

    TMA overflight update

    I will have to disagree with you on that. The change in sheep numbers where I have gone over the past few years after those winters/springs was drastic. From what I have experienced, read, and heard from local biologist it wasn't negligible. I agree that the thin horns have been on decline for...

    Completely no issues with your disagreement. Are you saying those to winters/springs didn't have an impact on the populations?

    TMA overflight update

    I agree with you that is more than that overall, but the Extreme low we have seen was mostly caused by the 2 consecutive winter/spring weather events. Especially the winter of rain and heavy snow and then cold(As I remember it was the spring of 2019 and 2020). The die off from those 2...

    TMA overflight update

    2 consecutive horrible winters/springs one of which included heavy rain, followed by heavy snow, and then cold that killed everything from voles to bison. In 2018 there were 27 rams harvested with 44 tags awarded in that draw area. In 2023 3 rams harvested out of the 9 tags awarded. There was a...

    Dehydrating DIY Meals, and the end product.

    Not sure if you are against buying powdered eggs or not, but cooking bacon before you go out in the field and adding them to powdered eggs is pretty good. Cooked bacon lasts a long time. Another option is getting a jerky gun and making strips of sausage jerky or just hamburger. When you...

    Screenshots of thinhorns through a spotting scope?

    I know this isn't the perfect angle but close, the pics of it alive were from above and a little misleading.

    He passed the stick test by around 3/4", I took a video of him through the spotter paused it at a good angle and used a piece of grass as a straight edge to make sure.

    Alaska Dall Sheep - Undersubscribed Non-Res Draw Hunts

    Both of the hunts touch the highway that didn't get applied for. Walking 5-20 is pretty typical on a sheep hunt.

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    Curious what you mean by subsistence hunting and fishing be severely restricted. Which ones/areas? Agree with the predator hunting part, besides time and good weather there isn't a lot else that will change anything. I also don't think we are at the point of needing to transplant sheep for...

    Alaska Dall Sheep - Undersubscribed Non-Res Draw Hunts

    What is the separate tag for next of kin for archery tags(DS241 & DS240)? I don't think next of kin have an option to apply for them without hiring a guide. They are left out.

    Alaska Dall Sheep - Undersubscribed Non-Res Draw Hunts

    There was a change to DS241 that seems to have been a oversight from AKF&G I believe. The way that it was this year a non res that would go with 2nd degree of kindred(Didn't need a guide) couldn't apply for it without having a contract with a guide. Which I would think stopped the usual...

    26b caribou

    I have taken my own jet boat into 29B and never seen a piece of driftwood. If the timing is right it can be good hunting.
