So I have a friend working up in way north AK, I think Barrow, basically on the arctic ocean...

Wondering I may have some free time come late nov, dec, jan. Does alaska shut down basically in winter, are storms just to bad to get out and hunt? not that we'd have to hunt that far north.

Basically wondering could I make something happen with him come NOV/DEC/JAN?

Can you buy tags OTC? I read somewhere that you could take any animal with any tag as long as yoru tag was equal or higher value? So if you have a moose tag, you could shoot a caribou etc...?

He's new to hunting, said he'd like to go after a moose or sheep, I'd like a chance at either if I go though, I think I'd rather take a caribou than wonder around the tundra for 10days hoping to see a moose or sheep ya know?

Thanks.
