Congrats on a beautiful ram.
For what it’s worth, the check in form just gives you a ballpark. It’s hit or miss who you get to check in and plug your ram. My ram was several inches larger when officially scored after the drying period than it was at check in.
Like Oak said, put that money into raffles if the goal is to hunt sheep.
But if you’re looking for a good time, I wouldn’t discount some of the other shows or activities as well in cheaper to reach cities. Can be a great time with like minded folks. Some occur at a better time of year to...
I'm halfway through a TDY in DC. Happy to talk specifics if you want to reach out.
If you planned on 3 years in Anchorage there would be some fun to be had but the acquisition of residency isn't easy. You'd have to time it right to be able to enjoy the hunting benefits on year 2.

The emotional roller coaster for a once in lifetime tag is something else. Thanks for the story and the emotion. I'm sure glad the shoulder worked like it's supposed to and the new bow got the job done . . . Heck of a way to end the story that started so long ago. Congratulations!
Now, as a...
Thank you for the comments! It’s hard to show gratitude in a post, but I truly am grateful for what I/we have - and certainly not just when it comes to hunting.
The corn hunt is something else. The elk live in miles and miles of 7 foot tall corn. Only to be seen outside of the corn 15 minutes...
I know the area well and October found us putting a few miles in. There was a stark difference in the deer numbers following last winter and mature bucks were very scarce. The first cold snap was a great excuse to skip a morning of school and take her and her little brother out to look for some...
My middle child enjoys the outdoors much more than her older sister so following her 10th birthday in January, we attended Hunter’s Safety together and spent some time at the range. I have a suppressed 6.5 PRC which I clamp onto a tripod that she can control and shoot very well.
