Fish and Game laws are passed by the BOG (above post) or the Legistlature or by the ADF&G by emergency order. The BGCS only has power over the Guide and Transporter laws.
There is a Federal Board that makes laws pertaining to Federal F&G laws on Federal lands in Alaska. It is made up of the...
Buzz ....
I was speaking of Alaskan F&G rules and regs as being a very public process. I don't know what goes on in Idaho or Wy.
The Alaska Pro Hunters Assoc. is the only guide lobby we have. It is only a small piece of the pie when it comes to the rule making. The State made sure that all...
How about a non-res not even being able to draw for Elk or Antelope in CA ?
Or a resident from Arky not being able to buy a hunting license in Oklahoma ?
Or Oregon's 2% non-res cap on some hunts and 5% on most ?
Nevada is very restrictive in the non-resident hunting arena.
States do have the...
With the current law changes taking place in the Transporter side of things .... I would check and double check to see if the Transporter is doing things leagle.
A large Transporter (who worked POW Island) just got indicted. Some of his past hunters have gotten wrapped up it the mess also...
good luck BW ....
I just put in for one draw ... the new ketchikan Goat hunt ... did not draw ... my good friend an guide Ed drew, that lucky dog ... he drew the Etolin Is Elk last Oct and killed a monster ...
It's just plain bad press for hunting ..... it could have and should have been spun into good press (or as good as possible) .....
When Ak changes or make a new reg I don't think they give warning citations for six months !!!! but the might to the VP !!!!
Let me see .... is this just another hunter ????
No ... this person actually could be the most powerful man on earth in a heatbeat !!!!
Where were the body gaurds in all this ??? If Cheney could shoot someone else he could have been the one shot ???? What bothers me a little about him is he...
statements from the Cheny camp says things like ... "it happens all the time" "hunters get peppered all the time" ..... I mean hello.
Now Cheney gets a WARNING citation for not having an upland bird stamp !!!!! the Cheny camp says it's the states fault by not notifiying them of everything he...
you must be accompanied by your 'relative / guide' while in the field. Like mentioned above it's been '2nd degree' for some time. Has not been changed.
Your father will become a resident 1 year from the date he moved to AK.
Most of SE is over the counter registration hunt for Goat. The further...
I'm sure there are hunts available. Don't think that just because a guide is not booked years in advance it is not a good hunt.
An experienced Bear hunter can (and do) have good hunts selfguided in this area. It does take some logisticts planning. Money for transportation.
But it is not a...
Ed is one of my partners in crime!!!!
He is a great guy and very good hunter.
We have been working together and known each other for many years.
His website is out of date. The Mozza is no longer in the water.
I also rate my combo at $6000 base and $2000 when and if successful on Brown...
Moosie ........
I think you have your Black Bear stories crossed. There are no Black bears around Sitka. Baranoff has Browns only !!!!!
The jumbo Blacks are taken on POW Island, Kuiu, and around Ketch-it-if-you-can.
Don't let me discourage anyone from planning a 'rut' Blacktail hunt. But to buy a $250 Black Bear tag in Nov is something I would think over. But when and if you do get one of those late season Bears they sure have nice hair.
That 'rut' hunt is my favorite hunt of all. But I did not learn...
Black Bear are mostly all gone beddy-by.
Dependng on the years weather, but most are into the dens by Oct 15th or so. There is always exception years.
The Black Bear kill is usually very minimal (in Nov) with a few incedental kills by deer hunters. Over many years the average (total kill for...
