    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    Adding sheep to that list would be a board of game proposal to the statewide cycle (due may 1). The specific Regulation is 5 AAC 92.106. All the criteria the board uses evaluate a species is laid out in that regulation. Again its a regulation, not a statute, so the BOG has authority to change it.

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    I think it would be as simple as a Board of Game proposal directing them to identify sheep an important resource for consumption. see AS 16.05.255 e. At least that how I interpret the original legislation. The deadline for proposals is may 1 for the statewide cycle. which is when they take up...

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    I'm only educated enough to know I'm not an expert. Alaska does have a Tiered management system but it pertains more to hunter allocation of subsistence populations than it does to species management. Its like supply/demand bean counting of animals...

    Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?

    Long time lurker here as well. At this point, any idea is a good idea. The department would quibble about the cost of relocation (WC is flush with money), and also the logic...."What good is relocating animals to a range where they are already habitat limited?" And if sheep were relocated from...

    Alaska Dall Sheep - Undersubscribed Non-Res Draw Hunts

    It would be nice if these could default over to the resident allocation, but ADFG would need some regulatory mechanism to do that. Sounds like that would be a good proposal for the statewide board of game. On the other hand there isn't anything wrong with leaving sheep on the mountains these...

    Private Pilot License advice and info

    I haven't read all the comments above, but my advice is if you can afford it, buy a plane to learn in then sell it after 500 hrs. more money upfront, but you'll have equity, and you'll reach your goal faster.

    National red flag law

    The term "Crazy" on this thread shows how ill-equipped this group is to be talking about mental health and firearms. The sad truth is that these red flag laws are as much about mental health reform as they are about gun violence. Anxiety/Depression are epidemics, but shouldn't negate someone...

    Alaska 20 e subsistence

    All Alaska residents can hunt on state sheep tags. Delta residents qualify for the federal moose and caribou tags in Unit 13, which are both nice tags to have. I think DJ residents would qualify 20E sheep subsistence tag. there is a Unit 13 7/8 ram opportunity on federal lands (minus the TMA...

    life on the koyukuk

    There was a chapter in Jimmy's book about three bears that definitely left an impression on me, even after a decade after reading the book. It sounds like it was either Shadows on the Koyukuk or Edge of Nowhere. Looking on Amazon, the full title to Shadows is "Shadows on the Koyukuk: An Alaskan...

    life on the koyukuk

    look through the UAF library catolog online to see if you can find what you're looking for. I use to do a lot of historical and ethnographic research in the Koyukuk Region. I've never heard of a book with that specific title. It might be a manuscript or study published by Annette Mcfadyen Clark...
