Did she come off the Haul road? Yes. That is how one drives to the Brooks Range. I was under the impression that within 5 miles either east or west of the Dalton Hwy. It was open to bow only? That's why I asked.
I wanted to take a scalp, but the kill was not mine.

Nice Wuf. I guess I should start reading the regulations?

Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag bud! A PM with the appropriate questions would have been a bit more tactful!

He knows what I am talking about! He went running right over to the AOD hunting forum asking if its illegal to shoot wolves from the Haul Rd with a rifle and attached a link to this thread. Pretty damn chicken chit thing to do if you ask me. A simple PM to me would have provided all the info he could ask for, including Troopers names and numbers if he so desired.

Cub,
This place is not like it used to be a few years ago when you could share amongst friends and not worry about guarding your six from people who don't know all the details.
I learned that the hard way.
It's turned into 24 Hour WalMart.

And mores the pity.
On the other hand, I have several offers to visit and hunt and fish with members there on my upcoming trip to Anchorage, Talkeetna and on up to (and a bit past) Fairbanks this Summer. Pretty terrific group of guys and gals for the most part. I am looking forward to meeting some AK members and fun in the outdoors soon.

Jeff The photo speaks volumes. There are only a handfull of places in the north you could have a full size pick-up in the Barrens. We are in the best month of the year for wolf huntin..............continued good luck.

It wasn't a guy asking some questions, it was him going over to another Alaska hunting forum and posting the info I shared here with pics, and then asking them if what I did was illegal? If I cant understand something and or I have more questions about something thats posted here, I guess I just ask the folks in question. Lots of thought and effort went into this from a guy that doesn't even live in Alaska!

You can't hunt within 5 miles from the road? What's their reasoning on that one? I understand that you have a ton of real estate up their but that is kind of stupid from point of view. Is the road some sort of bait pile? With all the ignorant regs in Michigan the still let you shoot from the edge of a roadway into adjacent land as long as it is open to the public ( state of Fed owned) and as long as you are not in your vehicle. What if you live of that highway? you can't hunt your own land? I never seen this highway and been to Alaska so maybe I'm a little misinformed here but it sounds a little ridiculous.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

In the Yukon you couldn't hunt within 3 miles of the Demster Highway in the past. I think it is only 1 mile now. The worry was that hunting from the road would keep the caribou herds from migrating accross the highway to their winteruing areas. In this case the Porcupine caribou herd.

Pretty damn chicken chit thing to do if you ask me. A simple PM to me would have provided all the info he could ask for, including Troopers names and numbers if he so desired. Don't get you nads frostbit from a little informative digging on my part. I was interested for hunting purposes. I "ran over to AOD" as you say because those are the experts on the subject. They live there. Now if you had done something illegal, and I PM'd you, you could have said what ever you wanted. I would hate to get up there and shoot a wolf, only to find I was getting pinched for it. I don't know you, or how credible you are. I appreciated the response over there. Good luck on trapping those other wolves.
I wanted to take a scalp, but the kill was not mine.
