Don't forget, draw results come out this Friday. Good luck to those who put in!!

Nice going John. The site will go down now with that reminder!

I'm in for local goat and elk. I'm due for the elk tag.

Yep...I think it has already crashed - with those checking to see if it really IS Friday...

Your guys memory is worse than mine, you no longer have to go to their site to check if you won or not.

You will get an e-mail on Friday to let you know either way, that's how it worked last year.

This is my third attempt for a Brown Bear tag.

I keep hoping.

They were far from 100% on the emails last year and farther from timely...

Most guided BB hunt areas have a 100% success rate... Are you intending to hunt with kin?

Well they were right on time for myself and the wife, that is all I have to go by. YMMV.

Thats alright... its months and months from season. If I get an email within a couple months I"m still good.

That doesn't apply to all hunts though.

I don't trust them - I look at the web site.

I think I remember getting the email at around midnight last year.

Yep, looks like it hit my inbox at 00:09:32 on Friday the 21st, of 2014.

Sleep tight.

Nope.

It's with Afognak Wilderness Lodge.

You don't trust them but you trust their website? lol

I noticed on their website that they didn't say what time the results would be out, all they said was they would be available by Friday 20 Feb 2015.

No results yet...

I want Dual confirmation.

Website says "by today" and it is today already. They are officially late, again...

Gotcha! Good luck with that!

That's just words. Clearly, you've mis-interpreted!



Has anyone gotten an F&G email today?

Productivity in Alaska is going to be rather low today.. both before and after they release those results.

It was a nice head fake last year when they gave us hope that this wouldn't be a circus every year.

The draw is done and announced the same way every year.......




except when it's not.

Those boys on the AOD are going spastic not knowing the results. They should be use to this by now. lol

I miss the old days.. rumors and rumors of rumors of when the date would be. Sitting at the computer at 4:45pm on every friday frantically hitting refresh until about 6pm. Then cursing ADFG and swearing you wouldn't do it again the next friday. But you always did. And then the results would finally come out, and the site would crash.. hard. So you are frantically pming, calling, and emailing everybody you know in HOPES that somebody had the list.

Good times.. I believe the common hatred for the ADFG really brought sportsmen together here in AK.

Nailed it Calvin.......lol.

Fixed it for you.

Their facebook page says they had a "glitch" with their email system and they are working on fixing it.

Man, you described that exactly the way I've always done it. Everyone's at the computer with 4 windows open, ADFG and all the favorite forums, looking for up to the neno second info....

I think in the last 6-8 years they have been announced in Jan
, Feb, and March.

Hey, they're out already!!!

I remember the even older days when we had to wait to see the list in Sunday's paper.

And applied by snail mail.

And there were two application periods.

And not finding out about sheep, goat, moose, and caribou until June.
That last one was real handy.

Old fart!











Me too...

They are up online

Moose; brownie for me. Hey Artsy!

Wif got bench moose

I got nuttin, I already had backups planned just in case :-)

Mountain Goat for me! dg473 Terror Lake/Hidden Basin!

Notta here, was really hoping the wife would draw a tag this year.

Drew my usual...

Friend that killed the monster bear with me in Uganik Bay in '12 drew the same tag, first year eligible...

Riley drew a 20-Mile bull tag...

Goose Eggs for me and I want a refund!

Can he fit one in his microboat?

Go get em boys...

That is a great tag and someone we both know drew the same Kodiak tag...

In little itty bitty pieces he can!

PM me who

Nevermind. Figured it out

I scored. Caribou, goat and cow moose.

I drew jack which is just what I expected.

Usall results here ---nothing

Nada.

Congrats to those that got lucky!

Always next year I guess.

Bull moose and elk for me and my dad. 6 years of trying and no tags. 2 in one year.

Bear tag for me, got the Eklutna/Chugach state park tag. Rough country but some good bears in there.

big fat zeros across to board for me and my kid

Nothing this year.

Nothing here...

I don't care. I just applied on spec in case the wife decides against another year here. As I have done the last 5 years. And drew on 4 of the five, without use....


I think someone has negative karma on me! Don't you believe they aren't tracking you!

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aint effing with me!

Wife and daughter drew dm 406

I got goose eggs. Nuttin', nada, zilch. Gonna have to earn my freezer full this year! I can't complain, I got my DE715 elk last year. My buddy got the elusive bison tag, no kiddin'. I'm really happy for him. It took me showing him three times before he realize what he had!

I searched every on air personality on the Outdoor Channel. Jana Waller from Skull Bound got a moose tag. I'm not so sure I envy her, it's the area up behind Ship Creek. Remy from Solo Hunter got a sheep tag right up behind Eagle River. Steve Rinella's brother got a moose tag on the north side of the Denali Highway. That's about it. It seems like a lot of those folks just want sheep tags. The Keefers on the Sportsman's Channel did not file this year. I suppose they are tired of Alaska!

Nothing for me again this year. Two years in a row now. Feel good about doing Tier 1 for this year though. My cousin did get the Carpenter Creek sheep tag and my buddy got the Friday Creek sheep tag, so should still be a busy fall regardless. And fun.

But [bleep], I want a sheep!

Nothing for me, but I only put in for a couple of tags. My buddy got Etolin elk, so drive the boat and give him a hand on that hunt. We'll be walking in from the beach for that hunt.

Saw that you only applied for 2 hunts - WTF?

Nothing for me this year. My good hunting buddy drew the late rifle (323) elk tag. Luckily he's got his bro to go with him. I'm not camping in woods in mid-Oct.

Got screwed on my party sheep draw. The buddy I went in with forgot to file his deer hunt report on time and applied for FOUR sheep hunts. Turns out he went party with another guy for Bison and I'm pretty sure this guy added a sheep hunt also. Fugged over 3 people with that move.

Pretty sure I'll be hunting elk late season with the kid in Arizona. He had 8 points. I'm gonna work CO, NV and UT pretty hard as I've got some serious points built up down south. I sure wish AK would go to a points system.

DE 717 ELK for me and the boy
DE 715 ELK for my father
DM 413 Moose (antlerless Nov-Dec) for the wife and daughter
DM 408 Moose (antlerless) for my father and brother
