Sorry for the slow response. Simply, I work all day and don't have time until evening to read and respond to the comments that have been given. As I had stated before, I know next to nothing about hunting bear in Alaska or more specifically, Prince of Wales. I do know that there are a limited number of tags although I do not know what are the chances of getting one. I guess I am just a little excited about the prospect of going to Alaska and just want to be prepared as much as I can if I am lucky enough get a bear tag. I didn't realize that my lack of a prompt response would generate concern of the "legality" of what I was hoping to do in May. I posted a simple, honest question. To those who answered that question in any way, thank you very much. It has been very informative and educational.
