Nope. But I have seen the numbers from the surveys.

DCUA sheep draw tags have been reduced from 75 to 60 and TMA from 40 to 30, like they weren't hard enough to draw as it was, now we have even less of a chance. But but what about the elite "Train To Hunt" and "Keep Hammering" crowd who purchased their latest Kuiu/Sitka/Kryptek sheep hunting "costumes"? Does this mean that some may not make it to the mountain to "crush" it? Or does this mean that even more will head to the Brooks and Wrights will be able to put 50 people on the same strip on the Kongakut instead of the 27 that they put there in the first 10 days this year?

DCUA sheep draw tags have been reduced from 75 to 60 and TMA from 40 to 30, like they weren't hard enough to draw as it was, now we have even less of a chance. Uh... Not so much. Just ran through all of the drawing numbers and DCUA has two hunts which used to get 75 and 60 tags. They changed that to 60 and 60. So 120 versus 135 or less that 12% cut, rather than the 20% it looked like. Statistically, you weren't going to draw anyway! And the tags for TMA have not changed. Both, based on population surveys should have changed drastically! All of the other hunts are exactly as they were last year, and again, that means they are not being proactive in reducing the take... And they have their reasons.

The roughly 2,000 hunters who have already applied will lose their application fees. Department policy precludes refunding permit and license fees -- even when a hunt is canceled. That's wrong just on GP. How does the AC have the authority to cancel the hunts? Seems that could be their 'advice', but not a reg change?

That's wrong just on GP. Thanks bunk regarding the policy on no refunds. I remember getting $5 back when the cancelled a SE Berners Bay moose hunt a few years back.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
