General tag here too. Oh well.

Of course I am bummed that I didn't draw a sheep tag, but I have to remind myself I already booked a 10 day Brooks Range OTC hunt. I'll be ok emotionally....

Brother-in-law drew late season delta and my neighbor drew TMA. I drew Afognak Elk and am a bit on the fence about going on that hunt.

nada for me or the wife.....

Negative for me as well. Just curious when should the 2019 caribou permits (RC860) be available for purchase?

Coop what Kenai got tag did you get, nothing for me

Congrats to all that drew! Start the plan and firness now. I didn't put in for AK tags this year, I have some special hunts planned here in ID so decided to pass.

I'm always eager to know how many will actually hunt the AK tags they drew given AK's system. I've had great non-res draw success in AK, better than when I lived there! But I regard the system as flawed with so many putting in for tags that they never even end up hunting.

I would disagree. But hopefully someone can straighten me out if my thinking is incorrect. Every draw tag that I’m aware of requires hunt reporting. Within that reporting, they ask you if you even hunted and how hard you hunted.

So for example with completely made up numbers for the sake of conversation: They give out 100 tags in the Tok every year knowing the likelihood that 15% of those tags won’t even get hunted. This allows for 15 extra tags to be available every year. If the trend changes over a few years and 100% of the tag holders consistently begin reporting hunting and the annual number of rams harvested increases, then they would need to drop the number of tags issued down to account for this. So in reality, if historical data show a tag consistently having a high number of tag holders not hunting, it will allow more tags to be available and increase your chances of drawing. You can see these trends for each draw and registration tag on the ADFG website. https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=sheephunting.harvest

Also congrats to all you who drew tags! I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures.

Nothing for me. I had high hopes for DS203 this year....

Oh well...I guess I'll just shift my focus to spring bear to ease the pain.

 

[DWarcher]

Congrats to all that drew...I did not!

We got a yes for 13C moose. Happy but also dredding it.
Gakona crossing or the nasty trail from the bottom?
Oh boy this is going to be interesting.

Congrats to everyone that drew a tag!

After 20 years of applying I finally drew a Chugach late season Dall Sheep rifle permit! Can’t wait. The best potential I’ve ever had at a 170+ BC Dall. Very excited and thankful.

Looks like I'm heading down to Kodiak for a goat!

No luck on Moose here or the extra unit for guided Dall hunt. Congrats to those who drew.
