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? That's not the first time they've lowered the number of permits after the fact. Luckily though, there's still some general harvest areas to hunt. If we're talking about moose anyways. Not sure what you put in for.
Do it today. Tomorrow there may be a law against it. NRA Life Member

What we really need in 15 is an open season on pyromania to bring the moose numbers up....

I'm determined more than ever to get a ram this year out of unit 14A before it (or the whole state for that matter) goes to draw. Also hoping to get a nice bull caribou out of unit 13 this year, too.

I bet a moose calf call would work great in the Refuge.... I doubt that highly... They've never seen nor heard a moose calf there!

We ALL get to hunt browns on the KP this year. I guess I should have been a little more clear when asking Bambi Stew about his Kenai brown bear hunt. I was referring to the spring season. But, thanks for the clarification, I.B. .

You drew a tag in Unit 14A? Congratulations!!! Do you have a spot picked out? If not, hit me up and I'll share some info with you.

I didn't draw a sheep tag.

I didn't draw a sheep tag. Got it - north side of the road. I know a lot about that country, too. There's a drainage on the south side of the range that's pretty tough to get into and I've seen some good genetics in there. There's also a drainage on the west side of the range that's a helluva long hike and I know a guy (now deceased) who whacked a 173 B&C ram near the headwaters. Anyway, I really hope you get a good one. Let me know how you do.

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. I'm wondering how the DLP quota will play into this? I haven't seen anything reguarding dates, other than what was in the proposal of replacing the permits with a registration hunt during the Sept 15-Nov 30 time frame. Do you have any other information?

Bambi:
The way the it works it that DLP is deducted from the harvestable surplus quota. In other words, DLP bear count against the quota and a female bears killed exacerbate the decrease in the total harvestable surplus. What that means, is that when a certain percentage of female bears are killed, then the entire quota is "capped", or has reached it's goal, whether or not the actual quota of male bears was met. So, in a nutshell, DLP bears are also counted against the human-caused mortality quota.

you'd think the bastids could afford 23 cents to send me a postcard that says "thanks for donating again you big jabroni, hope you'll play again next year!" bwaaaahaaa
and folks wonder why I never play the lottery? (grin)

I'm only hearing this second hand as I was unable to make the BOG meetings. the details will come out with the regs by 1 July.
My understanding is that because brown permits were let in the recent supplement and a registration hunt was approved, permit winners get a 16 day, IIRC, head start over the registration hunt start. Additionally, they may get a spring season depending on numbers of bears killed by all means and the gender distribution.
IOW, permits start Sept 15 and the registration opens Oct 1. So, permit winners have some overlap with moose season and hopefully gut piles can be put to good use. Registration hunters will likely focus on stinky bears.

I've done that KP brown bear registration hunt before and if they in fact do it again, you best be out there the day they open it. We hiked over 24 miles round trip in our waders looking for a brownie and all we saw were tracks, 1 dead blac bear (hit by a train) and a couple of bull moose. I'll be surprised if they actually open it to registration hunters.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Bears that time of year go back and forth between berries and fish, usually have the runs, and can be "special."
