Just applied! Thanks for the heads up!

Would be nice to draw one of these, otherwise I’ll probably head up the haul road and ski the 5 miles.

This is an any caribou hunt and I wish they would leave the forty mile cows alone. If it is too hard to distinguish between cows and bulls because bulls have dropped antlers and all have long winter hair then keep it closed.

If 125 dead caribou ruin this herd, than it's already too late. Glad they are doing a draw, maybe it won't be a two month long circus up there this winter, putting unnecessary pressure on a wintering herd.

I was thinking the same thing.

Local folks are pushing for more of this type of hunt and less of the ASSS [august steese shit show]. This also gives residents of Eagle, Circle and Central an opportunity they don't often get.

I'm fine with a hunt just think it should be limited to bulls.
