Alaska hunts

[mxgsfmdpx]

Dumped all social media, aside from Rokslide obviously.

If more folks did this the world would be a better place.

Funny. I had also done nearly the same thing.

Amazing the amount of information that's out there.

Background photos tell 1000 words.

I don’t know all the rules, so understand that, but there should be exceptions for OIL hunts, IE sheep/goat/moose in the lower 48. Exteremely hard draws like AZ early rifle elk tags, strip, Utah le etc.

Just my .02 as hotspotting isn’t an issue and the draw odds are already astronomical.

One opinion -

Creating a post stating "Drew MT Sheep Tag" and then asking for info via PM's = acceptable

Creating a post stating "Drew MT Sheep 680-30" and then having a discussion on hotspotting = seems unacceptable.

But again, just one opinion. Not everything needs to be blasted all over the web.

how does kodiak fall into reporting? Is it ok to say "hunting deer on kodiak" and not ok to say "hunting deer in Unit 8"? which unit 8 is all of kodiak? how about in SE ak for deer. I assume a thread labeled "SE AK Deer hunting" would be fine, but the if specific islands start getting named, would that be to specific. (id think so)

Wow, maybe we shouldn't even mention Alaska on the forum lol

There was alot of discussion behind the scenes of how/what we wanted to restrict in the open forum. Ultimately we just wanted to limit Google users from taking advantage of the generous Rokslide community, with I drew this unit please help me posts.

This will remain a forum of sharing hunting information, with the understanding that some information is best shared by private message.

Asking about deer hunting in SEAK is harmless in my opinion. However, when captain flexnuts responds with, "It's easy, anchor in this cove, hunt this hill face." That blows up a spot permanently. If you start naming specific information in an open forum, there's no limit to the exposure you've just created. For reference, look at # of thread views vs # of comments where specific hunt info is given.

Asking a draw tag specific question and keeping it in the PM's is relatively harmless but be prepared if you're the guy who responds "PM sent." You will be bombarded every year when that tag is drawn. Send a PM if you feel compelled but don't reply to the thread. I'd further add that if you've gotten the info you desire, ask a mod to delete the thread.

Finally, just because you have no intention of hunting an area ever again doesn't mean you need to broadcast the info everywhere possible in a hunt recap. Not my chair, not my problem and they're on to burn the next spot.

For all of our future selves; if you must share pics or video, please crop skylines and bodies of water out. Rather than asking about TAG123 add spaces so it doesn't show up on a google search. For example: Looking for info on T A G 1 2 3?


And remember kids, killing predators today could save the new world record's life tomorrow.

When someone asks about specific units:

If it is a FNG (since they may not know any better) I provide a link to the forum rules.

If it is a WKR (who should know better than to start posts asking about specific units) I direct them to the most appropriate unit, and that is unit 370HSSV. And tell them to go deep.

thats what i was saying. but once it get narrowed down to specific islands it seems a little to exact to me. like it has been said, for probably 70% of the people its a one time trip so once they get back they dont care about how much they divulge and what they talk about because its not going to effect their future hunting. Especially when you get people asking about logistic about a certain hunt and then they say "well it seems like its really expensive and the animal quality isnt there any more so they might just let the tag go and put in for a different hunt next year". theres plenty of ways to talk about hunting up here without talking about a specific island or area.

Can anyone please recommend me a good transporter in Unit 28B to drop me off for my DIY Moose, grizz, caribou, wolf, and sheep combo hunt? Camping coordinates would be really helpful too. No outfitter recommendations please as I’m just a DIY guy. This is my first time going out of state or to Alaska so any help would be greatly appreciated! I’ll make sure to post a trip recap and a link to my YouTube video.

BTW also looking for an extra guy to join to help split costs, preferably you have hunted Alaska before.

Thanks everyone!

Very popular camping spot, and for good reason. 100% chance you can score on whatever you’re hunting for. Try to keep it on the down low, hate to see it ruined.

So close. You forgot to include Kenai in the Powerball, otherwise you'd have had a clean sweep

What, no Kodiak or POW?



Seriously though, large areas are not what I'm talking about, rather specific hunts such as RGxxx, or towns. Things that can lead to clear information such as Deer Mountain near Ketchikan is a great place to hunt deer (it is not, FYI).

I see logistics as a bit different, though those discussions can certainly dance on the line. The Ruby, AK thread i an example, small place, but someone could be wanting to hunt close buy, or just trying to find out if they can get gas to go 50 miles further.

I know there are places on the coast that don't want to be selling gas, so better plan on having enough to get there and back.

The issue with none residents on guided hunts is the might educate me on an area I wasn't aware of and I (or the othe thousands of resident hunters) don't need a guide.
