Wondering if anybody had any intel on a later sheep hunt they'd be willing to share either publically or via pm. I'm not privvy to many up north happenings, but if there is a drawing tag that can be effectively hunted after the 15th of Sept without big snow issues, I'll be all ears. I fish until the 15th.

The season for most general season and permit rifle hunts closes September 20th. If you are a bowhunter, there are some archery only hunters that run later in the season. Good luck and happy thanksgiving!!!

I see that. Looks like DS123 with 1 tag is an option for rifle, and the rest are pretty much bowhunting. I am certified on the bow, but not sure I want to go that route for #1. Happy Thanksgiving too. I really want to give $30 to ADFG for sheep this year.

Pretty much would be a draw archery Chugach hunt and snow could defiantly be an issue on that one. I'll be back on the island in a few days if you want more info. I'm down south chasing pheasants at the moment.

Not uncommon to get snow at sheep elevations in August.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

Finish fishing on the 15th. Fly up north on the 16th. Hike/atv/fly in the 17th. Hunt 18, 19, 20th. Its possible....better than staying home....

Put in for the tag drawing, and it didn't include sheep. Etolin Elk (Archery), Ketchikan Goat, Terror Bay Brown Bear (spring), and Fort Rich Moose. (Archery) Went all in (six picks) on all tags, except 3 for the moose. See what happens. I've been in a tag drawing slump.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
