Alaska Sheep, 19C Working Group

[LivinGood]

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.

Hate to be blunt and likely unpopular opinion here but look at Colorado OTC elk, terrible idea and no doubt sheep are more delicate. Why Alaska hasn't gone to straight draw across the state with resident/non resident allocation is beyond me.

It was mentioned before but the efficiency of the 20th century hunter cannot be ignored. Resources to fly units, glassing and identification miles away and legitimate ability to shoot north of 500 yds makes the success rates unsustainable for "hunt every year" opportunity. Could you imagine the same principle applied to antelope hunting in Wyoming and the state being 90% public land? There is a reason the mathematical odds of a nonresident drawing a desert sheep tag in AZ is better than that of drawing a nonresident rifle buck antelope tag...
