aksheephuntress Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Kathleen, what units do you hunt? ...Depends what for....and has varied, depending on the time factor, really...( for me, personally, it has had to do with whether a permit was drawn for a certain area..) -For a moose/bear combo, especially with fishing opportunity...down here on the peninsula-unit 7- is perfect for a hunt like this...(unit 15 over near Soldotna, has nice moose hunting as well ...)-of the 7 sheep hunts I have been on, 6 of them have been here, in unit 7...up above the various drainages near the Andy Simmons mtn...-very tough country...only a hand full of sheep hunters traverse those snow slides, and climb and side-hill around up there-(:rolleyes:it's kind of nuts...) -done all my black bear hunting down here, on the Kenai...they are all over-and some really nice ones, too! ...Caribou herds can be hard to anticipate, for a hunt of what we are talking about, here, though.. -When I lived up north east of Fairbanks on the Westfork of the Chena...it was unit 20...(and, usually sub-unit B)...that area is excellent for moose- especially because there is no brow-tine restriction in most of unit 20... -also....Grizzly is open up there-(brown bear on the Kenai, is not....) -I have been on one sheep hunt in 20D...out of Tok-in '06... -and have a sheep permit I drew for this year in the Delta controlled use Area...(near Tok, also...)-20D ....I have gotten some opportunities to scout and explore in others...units 13, 11, and around Petersburg, Ketchikan,and Sitka (can't remember the units...between 2 and 5..)... and a little bit, a long time ago, around Central...(on the way to Circle...)- -but I've only hunted units 7 and 20... -This state is so incredible...so much to see and do!- -And each unit, just about, has ample harvest opportunities and over-the-counter tags....even for non-res.....depends on the species, really...the AK Fish and Game website has a lot of interesting info...

buckee Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 It's always such a hassle for us Canucks getting guns across the border, and back again. Maybe I could help scout. Actually, I'm afraid to go to Alaska, because it might consume me and I wouldn't go home .. It is one Beautiful place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yeah, it does sound good. I'm kind of in the middle here so it's either meet Steve in Bellingham, or get up there early and help set things up. Lets see now, meet SteveB or help Kathleen, meet SteveB or help Kathleen...geesh, I can't decide...LOL:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
