Premimum areas are extremely hard to draw, Chugach sheep areas, about a three percent chance of getting drawn, goat areas other than Kodiak are very slim percentages also, under 5%.  and consider that most general harvest sheep and goat areas are hit extremly hard by guides, locals etc...  Unless you got a plane or the willing ness and ability to hike in twenty plus miles each way and to do your own scouting it is tough, cause alot of the outfitter (air Taxis) will drop you off where everyone else is..  Everything is slowly going to draw, even Moose, wouldn't be surpirsed in a couple years that Non-Residents are required to have a Moose guide, they have been discussed for awhile now...  Guides are lobbing hard for that, of course....  All tags for a resident  (harvest Tickets) are merely nothing as in costs about fifty bucks for all tickets.  A brown bear tag (only in certain areas) $25..alot are open to general harvest, one or two areas that you can legally take two Brown Bears, but when you look up those taking two it is really a slim group, due to the remoteness and lack of accesibility for those two areas.  Bison is about 1% chance of getting drawn, Muskoxen now is limited to two areas and NOT along the haul road.  Also the Pipeline is really high off the ground (8-10 feet) in most areas, and some buried in other areas.  Anything north of the Yukon river can't be shoot within five miles of the road unless with a bow, of course there are exceptions, trappers and natives...  The animals don't seem affected by it as the Greenies would want you to believe. I belive the coordior is the right thing to do, if not it would be a blood bath for Caribou then they would be gone....  I have never have seen anyone else out the distance, ever, out past the cooridor... As with any where else, there are alot of A-Holes running around shooting anything, especially along the road and up in Chicken Alaska, this is a fine example of a situation that is out of control, ATV's and shooting everywhere and everything moving dies...
