Description
Summary:Whether you dream of hunting brown bears in southeast Alaska’s coastal rainforest, Dall sheep in one of Alaska’s many rountain ranges, or caribou on Alaska’s tundra, Alaska offers some truly incredible hunting opportunities. The key to a successful Alaskan hunt is careful and thorough planning and preparation. Hunting in Alaska can be a very different experience than hunting in most other states. The mystique of Alaskan hunting is well earned. The country is vast, the wilderness remote, the weather unpredictable, and the game animals magnificent. Animals such as the barren-ground caribou, muskox, Dall sheep, Kodiak brown bear, and Alaskan moose provide hunters with memorable experiences to last a lifetime. However, these uniquely Alaskan animals are not found in every part of the state. Even when they are abundant by Alaska standards, their population densities can be low compared to population densities of deer or elk in other states. As you focus on what and where you want to hunt, I encourage you to take time to look at the statewide and specific regulations associated with the areas you intend to hunt and the species you intend to pursue. Information is available in the Alaska Hunting Regulations. Every year the Alaska Hunting Regulations are updated and available to the public by July 1.
