I don’t care about non residents. The natives are the ones who really tuck things up with their poaching and slaughtering, wanton waste and general [bleep]. Hard to deny history... My neighbor had an Airman in his unit that married a native girl from somewhere in NW Alaska. He told my neighbor about how her brothers would go and poach like there was no tomorrow. They even told him that no one would do anything about it as they were Alaskan Natives. But, but, but, they're the defenders of the planet, and they are one with nature, and so forth NATIVES: we want to protect our native ways of life, we respect the animals and want to maintain it for the future. ALSO NATIVES: we shoot hundreds of cows, out of season.... Wanton waste laws don't apply to them either.

I'd have a hard time reading all the rules and regs, then deciding I wanted to go to that place and follow the rules that I chose to and then complain.
I do agree some things don't make a lot of sense. And some may not even be sound. So I get that.
But I"d rather post all the good rather than all the bad. I suppose its differences in human nature.
Sounds like it was good enough if you are spending the cash to go back though. Its not cheap here. Not at all.
RE tundra not hard to get around in. You didn't see it all then by far. Maybe you stayed up high and dry. Maybe you didn't have 13 loads of moose to haul in a pack with chest waders on in the dark and raining. Never say never all I"m saying...and Carolyn still mutters when we walk out of spruce and see a patch of tussocks...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I agree 100% about giving everyone free, unlimited wolf tags. Pay when you slay?
Not sure on the politics or the caribou. One thing for sure is that residents like to magnify the impact of non-residents while ignoring the impacts of residents.
Spot on.
Yup.

The trend is more drawing hunts and what I think are ridiculous antler restrictions that potentially encourage waste. F&G does some things that I question. All made worse by limited access, as per the recent steese steese hwy caribou hunt. Too many people tearing things up. We need more roads
For those without thumbs, it's s Garden fookin Island, not Hawaii

Roads and trails will make AK like CO etc... we just need to be where we are and deal with it. Just because I can't afford to fly out etc... I don't cry about it. Change AK. Nope. Its been done in many other states and it sucks in those states. Heck anywhere its legal in AK there are more wheeler trails everywhere. Every year. I just don't care for that at all. My opinion anyway and its worth the same as yours. LOL

We’re you able to make it up here this summer? He did and was doing some guiding I believe up near Talkeetna but he's back up near Delta Junction now. He must like the cold, he's pretty hardy for a Texan. lol
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

LOL. I've done a few of those - suppose I am a slow learner.
Only shot one moose myself in a walk-in area, but somehow I've been involved in 3 or 4 pack outs.

What I didn't like about Alaska was greasy pizza and toll roads and pay to park on at fishing areas. In my 2 trips to Alaska so far that is it. Everything else so far I loved.

I consider you the exception, it just kills me guys crying for more walk in areas don’t realize their are a bunch of them already. Hell one of the most challenging walk in hunt is about to kick off that’s the ship creep drainage moose hunt. I did it once we came in off the hi land side over the pass into ship creek. Never again, I done the 5 mile hump off the dalton one time was good enough for me lol.. I will just stick archery hunting on the dalton..

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.

I don't disagree. I like the idea of limiting access to walk-in as opposed to limiting opportunity via draw. There are plenty of arguments on both sides.
I think the idea of allowing more opportunity to hunt but most likely decreasing the odds is interesting. You are correct that there are lots of areas like that already, but I think some folks would rather see access restrictions than opportunity restrictions.
I guess it also depends on what the goal is too. I think the goal that a lot of us have in mind when we talk about walk-in hunts is that it creates an opportunity that the average guy can take advantage of without expensive equipment. But many of the CUA's allow the use of aircraft, which kind of creates a hunting preserve that only those with planes can access. If the goal is just to decrease the damage to mother earth from the ATVs, then I guess that makes sense.
