Tags are usually not included in an Alaska Guided hunt.
There is no point or priority system to the draw. A non-res has the same odds as a resident.
If you are a non-res and put in for a Sheep, Brown Bear or Goat hunt you must have a guide or relative to hunt with. If you draw the other species you don't have to hire a guide by law.
There are only draw areas in a small portion of Alaska hunts. Draws are in places where there would be overhunting if it were over the counter, like most of the state is. Those are usually in the close in areas around Anchorage, some draw units can be walked into from the road system, or short low $ flights. Or in areas that have lower animal numbers that need to be managed.
There are several draws (sheep) that limit the number of hunters in large areas so it is managed for trophy animals.
There are many over the counter hunt areas for Sheep, Goat and Brown Bear.
The best areas (highest populations) in the state for Mt Goat hunting is in the SE Alaska mainland between Juneau and Ketchikan. The only draws in that area is the areas adjacent to the towns of Juneau and Ketchikan, where you can hike in from the roads. The rest of the area is over the counter.
Congratulations to you guys that drew the hunt you wanted.
I put in for the Ketchikan Goat hunt (this is the 2nd year for that hunt) but didn't draw. I can hike from my house and kill a Goat when I get drawn.
