About this title

Synopsis

Hunting in Alaska provides a great wilderness adventure, which is why hunters travel from around the globe to Alaska to hunt. The great attractions are bear, moose, sheep, and mountain goats as well as other big game targets. Alaskans take their hunting seriously. For many it is a way of life, and for some, it is still a primary source of sustenance. As demand has outpaced the supply of game, regulations have been necessary to maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem. Gone are the days when an Ernest Hemingway type could arrive in the bush and begin stalking game. Now he or she (yes, there are scores of outdoors women in Alaska!) must first read up on the most current regulations, secure the necessary permits, and enlist the services of a resident guide. Once hunting has commenced, a successful hunter must register the harvest with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), a government body the avid hunter will come to know well.
