Art drew my sheep tag. SOB better not be whining about the draw system!
Son drew caribou, I drew moose and goat.
One pard drew the same 'bou as my boy and DanH here drew a different 'bou.

Damn, I was hoping the wife would finally draw something but again she gets nothing. Glad we already booked our air charter for sheep.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

In clarification of my last post, which made sense to me but might be a bit obscure to others....
Too many years ago I was hunting sheep up Healy Creek, and five times in a row a stalk was ruined by bumping caribou (no open season at that time), which then ran right through the groups of rams we were after, spooking them.
I carry a grudge really well, and hunting sheep is seemingly a foolproof way of finding caribou in that country... I want revenge! But I'll take a sheep if offered....

One pard drew the same 'bou as my boy and DanH here drew a different 'bou. That was actually BW's tag, same area, same time frame (second hunt). I also drew a 'bou for the Paxson area, while Miss T drew a muzzleloader moose tag for Fort Rich and Riley drew Ol'Blue's Kodiak brown bear tag in Terror Bay. The sheep tag is a tough draw, the 'bou easy... M's moose tag is fairly easy and Riley's BB tag is pretty easy... and first choice. I still hate the system... 
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Way to go, Art! Looks like a great hunting season this year for you guys. Maybe see you up in the caribou grounds.

Looks like Kurt (KKA) and my luck held up, nothing again this year  --- Mel I too hate this system! 
The only thing I'm an expert at is my own opinion, and I have plenty of those!

Yeah, my 18th year at applying for bison. And no Kodiak brown bear again. Dammit. I keep trying for the west side of Kiliuda Bay and have drawn blanks the past 17 years. During the past 25 years or so, I've drawn only two permits - an any caribou permit and a ewe sheep permit. Just call me Mr Lucky (NOT).

We ALL get to hunt browns on the KP this year.

Yes. BOG approved a registration brownie hunt for the KP. I *think* it is for Unit 15, but not certain if 7 is included.
IIRC, permits open Sept 10? and registration opens Oct 1.
Don't hold me to the dates and I don't swear by them, and I hear reporting requirements on the reg hunts will be short and tight.
But, there will be a reg hunt.

zip for me but I kind of expected it this time. Funny though one of the tags I applied for had 7 permits available but I only see 6 people drew it WTF is that all about?

Serious as a heart attack.
Unless something happens. Most is on the refuge, yanno.

Hell, it's a start. I'm sure it will close the same day, but finally they realize they need to knock some bears down.
I just hope there's not a high DLP count.

I think you're right Mike, those dates sounds pretty close. Permit holders get to hunt the spring season as well as the fall.
If you are going to be dumb - you've got to be tuff.
