Do they normally post at 8 AK time?
I was told mid day mountain time by others that have applied. Their website doesn’t specifically state. It’s my first time applying so I’ll be checking often

Also my first time, I know odds are low but it's still like Christmas.
 
Usually it was 4 PM when I lived up there. Maybe they've shifted times a bit in the last few years.
 
I have had terrible luck drawing in Alaska. Hopefully that changes this year. That said I have no idea how I would fit another hunt in considering I am already up there 22 days this August.
 
Would it be asking too much to draw two AK elk tags in a row? I wouldn't wish that hunt on my worst enemy but just something about punishing myself drives deep desires in my soul.

I want to do that hunt very bad but I also wonder if I’m cut out for it. I always doubt myself but always come through when challenged, but that hunt is a whole different level.

Lets see....what would make an elk hunt difficult?

1) Grizzly bears - check
2) Steep Terrain - check
3) Thick vegetation that basically has razor blades attached to it - check
4) Travel to the hunting area that requires a boat or airplane - check
5) Long pack out shall you be successful - check, plus its very heavy loads due to them basically being the size of a moose
6) Very low densities of elk - check

Regardless, still the most unique, coolest elk hunt I have ever went on.
 
Come on .06% odds and 6% odds for each of my tag choices. I might as well start planning already with my misplaced confidence in drawing this year.

Wait, you didn't already book a transporter before even putting into the draw? Rookie move to basically all but guarantee you won't draw.
 
If you check the website is it earlier?
