K381 is not bad - clean and as DS says the food is OK. Our strategy has always been to stay @ K381 and leave ~ 1300hrs to get to the zone by early/mid morning. This we get our tags and get into the field that firstdayto get use ofthe full 4 days. We just suitup in anopen roomas usually house keeping is not done getting them ready.

We are also considering goinginto Raddison and becloserto the zonefor that early drive. More miles on day 1 but the hotels are betterandthe same cost as K381, which is $$ for what you get - I think ~ 98 $CAN last year fora doubleroom.

In case anyone is interested in the laws and treaties, the following link will bring you to the site. The latest report on the JBNQA and NEQA is interesting - page # 9 under hunting fishing and trapping explain how a joint committee of Native Experts (all 3 tribes), Fish Cops are scientist regulate the limits and seasons. You can also see the monies that are given to the tribes each year and how they are given and ID card that allows them to draw $ like and debit card. The next meeting on the bag limit/sex question is set for August and will be in affect for the fall and winter hunt - if the 1 of either sex gets in it is sure to piss off the fall hunters quite a bit and I would hope the vote to go to the winter hunt only for sexes.

Happy Reading - it is interesting and gives you a perspetive on the treaties, etc:
