The NR caps on tags should keep it within the limits of what's exceptable to the majority of Residents when it comes to NR pressure/NR funds without only including the richest subset of hunters. I do agree with the cost for NR being higher and I definitely participate at the current levels with no gripes whatsoever and appreciate the opportunity, but selling out to the highest bidders, basically, seems like a dangerous path to take. Just my thoughts and I understand there needs to be limits, so residents get a large majority of the opportunity. I would feel the same way if too many NR hunters piled into my area in OR (unlikely for now )

I've been pretty lucky to get to hunt a lot of my dream hunts and some of them multiple times. Definitely not because I have a ton of disposable income, but because I have 3 sisters and a good high school Buddy that moved to AK and my Brother-in-Laws and my Buddy are willing to go along with about anything I research and want to try. I grew up dreaming of hunting and trapping AK, but figured I'd never get the chance, or at the most maybe once or twice. Fast forward until now and it's still hard to believe that I've been so furtunate. I've been able to see some incredible places by boat, bush plane and backpacking all DIY on our own. Between all of them, they have about every form of transportation needed in AK (Plane, boats, argos, sxs etc.) and they are willing to backpack in with me when I want also. A coues deer and javelina was another dream hunt that I got lucky and made happen a few times now and it definitely didn't disappoint! I think the adventure of different places and species than we have close to home adds some excitement that comes with the unknown and learning :).

Very cool collection! Sorry they were lost in a fire. Pretty amazing pics!

Good luck on your move back. I hope you find a great spot!

Very cool. pretty ram. Congrats!

Probably too late for that kill site. I agree with the above post; looks like coyotes/birds got it maybe, but who knows maybe the lion made it's return trip before anything found it. The early kill site pic with the paunch open would be typical of the 1st day lion kills I've been part of checking. They like to go in right behind the last rib and eat the the organs up in the chest cavity first it seems. Very cool to find and check out. Hope you find one to post up on and get a lion. Good luck!

Very nice! wish I was in a spot to spend that kind of money. That's set up perfectly for me, good luck on the sale!

Very cool ram!

I ues a harris bi-pod. The tall one and sure has been useful. It's amazing how handy it is for setting your gun down whie glassing too. The trade off is, it definitely makes your gun a bit front heavy when shooting off-hand, but it didn't take long to get adjusted to it.

Thanks for posting!

Good luck with the sale. Bump for a very cool rig. Fresh off a house and shop build or I'd buy it!

Check optics planet, they just got mine in that were back ordered. Not the same as you wanted though.
