Proposals For The Game Board
« on: May 10, 2004, 07:05:36 AM »
All of us Alaskians need to brain storm about changes we would like to see made to Bear Hunting regulations or any other hunting regs, next year.  We need to get togeather and put our proposals togeather in force so the Game Board will take a serious look at them.  We currently have a friendly board, and we need to get as many needed changes made while we can.  We have until December, yes I know that is a long time away.  But we need to think about the changes and discuss them amountst ourselves, so we can make an informed and intelligent proposal, in such a manner that it stands a chance of getting looked at seriously, and a good chance of getting passed.  One forinstance is the regs on using scent for bears.  Another is areas closed to vehicles for hunting suposedly to keep it pristine, when the whole area is laced with mining trails.  Wood River Control Use Area for instance.  All proposals need to be in before December.  Sourdough

This may be a little off the topic, but there is one thing I would like to see:

That would be a resident point preference system for drawing hunts.

For these hunts, I'd also like to see that guides don't automatically get a certain number of tags.  If a client draws one from the lower 48, at least for sheep, goat, and brown/grizzly bear, they will have to hire a guide and the guide will get his work.

I would like to see something do with the TII  caribou, I don't think I will every get one of those, maybe they could keep a few like 50-75 TII permits out and put them in a drawing, also the state could make a few extra bucks

How about a preference point system so that everytime you get turned down you gain points towards the next draw.

Or how about the people that win in the draws and never go hunting.  A proxy system for those.  It would have to go to a waiting list so that abuses don't occur.

There was a proposal before the game board this march to give non-drawn people a point system.  That would be a good one to bring up again next year.  These are exactually what I am talking about.  These kind of things we can discuss amoungst ourselves to make proposals for this Decembers deadline.

I'm all for a preference point system. Been applying for drawing permits going on 11 years now and have yet to ever get a single damn permit. :roll: Good thing I'm still young enough (only 23) to keep donating for years to come (God willing) for that one ellusive drawing permit. I'm not asking for a whole lot here, but then again, I'm not gonna continue to complain. Moose hunting ain't that hard. :grin:

I agree with Yukon Jack.  The game belongs to us all.  Those who live here should have preference.
