I really want to spend a good deal of time on Kuiu moose, bear, and wolf hunting. Hope the draw screws that up.

I decided after a lot of soul searching that I need to kill a few more animals with that rifle before it goes to a new home.
Longest afternoon ever. Got stuck home with the baby while the wife worked. Brutal to do to a guy the day before draw results come out.

I don't blame ya. If you draw that goat hunt let me know, I can still help with logistics. I know a bunch of successful guys on that tag. Tomorrow will be worse waiting for that email.

I effed up when I put my kids name in the hat. Didn't realize that the state cup soccer tournament was the same time as the youth bou hunt. No doubt one of my boys will get drawn now and that will be only thing any of us will get.

Ya, the day this 68 year old guy who has been in Alaska for 53 years and year after year tries for a Bison tag, only to see it go to some undeserving newbie or one of my friends families who has already got a couple.
Life ain't fair. Permits should be given out based on how long you have lived here, how old you are, how much you weigh and how tall you are. My Yukon River born wife is still waiting for hers also. We should be entitled damn it. I want my bison permit and I want it now!!!

Same here!
But when ya get that tag, give me a call as I see em every day I'm out looking for predators.
I seldom go out with tag holders anymore because it always seems to be Amateur Hour with numerous
screw-ups usually from being inexperienced or unprepared. Way to many think a herd will stand in the field
while they approach from up wind.
Another issue is the requirement for 200 grain bullet etc........the little woman or kid doesn't have much
experience let alone a high caliber rifle so she ends up with a borrowed magnum that's too long and kicks like hell.

The fourth year in a row I got zilch! Oh well, my son didn't draw either, but he will be away at basic training and AIT for the Army National Guard starting in May and he won't be back until late in the year, there's always next year.

I'm guessing with only 400 DC485 permits this year, the Denali Highway is going to be a lot quieter. Hopefully I can get my youngest to pull the trigger on one for me now.

No DC590 - but that is ok, I was there last year and brought one home. More motivation to stay in shape for 2020.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Nothing for me this year. Looks like I’ll do the five mile death march off the haul road for caribou. Maybe I’ll do it solo as a sixtieth birthday present to myself.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
