Money is always an issue but not the main issue. I don't like to fly from one point to the next because it ruins my sense of place. I love being out on the highway, however, I don't care to deal with the Canadian government. Your probably right, maybe I could drive up then fly in. That drive up there must be one of the best drives anywhere. I'll go to the Alaska website and check out some info. I have all but given up on ever getting a tag here in Montana. If you have a draw systems is there anyplace to get the statistical odds on the draw? Thanks for your help.
