CHANGES REGULATIONS
ALASKA GAME LAWS
ANNUAL REPORT
t* _____
Recommended changes in game,
fur and other regulations when ap
proved by the Secretary of Agricul
ture, will become effective on July
1, 1935 for the ensuing fiscal year.
These changes will be announced in
detail in Game Law Circular No. 12,
which will be published early next
spring and distributed throughout
the Territory.
Migratory Bird Recommendations
The Commission adopted a resolu
tion asking the Advisory Board for
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and
the Department of Agriculture to div
ide Alaska into three zones for sep
arate open seasons on migratory
birds. The zones recommended are
in keeping with recommendations
of sportsmen and Chambers of Com
merce in the several sections; zone
one to include Southeastern Alaska
East fo the 141st meridian; zone two
the remaining portion of the Terri
tory south of the, Alaska Range; and
zone three, all the region north of
the Alaska Range.
The Chambers of Commerce and
sportsmen’s organization of the two
(southern zones are being asked to
j submit recommendations for the op
I en seasons they wish. The people
I of the northern section of the Terri
' j tory in proposed zone three are al
j ready on record with the earliest
date permitted under the Treaty—
: September 1. The opening date of
[August 15 is desired for zone three
j but cannot be granted until a revi
[sion of the Treaty permits. Recom
[ mendations for this change in the
(Treaty were submitted by the Com
j mission several years ago, but no
[change has yet been made.
| In an attempt to improve migra
j tory bird conditions along the south
coast and in parts of the Interior,
the Commission will experiment
next spring with the growing of
several types of duck foods that are
not native to Alaska.
Predatory Animals
The Commission heartily endorses
the proposal of several Chambers of
Commerce, asking the Legislature
to increase the bounty on wolves and
coyotes to such a reasonable amount
as it may determine. Reports from
nearly every part of the Territory
tell of an alarming increase in wolv
es and with coyotes a close second
in competition. An appeal is also
being made to the Biological Survey
to resume the services of trained
hunters to work with local trappers
in improving methods of capturing
t I
these marauders.
Open Deer Season, Cordova
First introduced to the islands of
Prince William Sound in 1916 when
eight of the little Sitkan deer from
Southeastern Alaska were transplant
ed, the season on these animals will
be opened for the first time next fall.
The initial transfer of eight animals
was financed with private funds con
tributed by residents of Cordova and
vicinity. Another and larger lot of
eleven were sent there in 1923. This
transfer came about through the Ter
ritorial Stocking program under
which a number-of others transplant
ings of animals have been made by
the Commission.
These deer originally placed on
Hawkins and Montague Islands, have
multiplied and spread to other is
lands and are found at considerable
distances back on the mainland.
Their numbers have now reached a
point where a limited number of the
increase can safely be taken under
a carefully regulated open season.
The Commission is recommending an
open season of 11 days from Sep
tember 20 to 30, dates inclusive, with
a bag limit of one buck per hunter.
The area opened to hunting will
include the islands of the Sound,
excepting Hawkins and Knights Is
lands, the mainland west of the
right-of-way of the Copper River
and Northwestern Railway, and the
Eyak River.
Other Restocking Projects
In its study regarding practicabil
ity of the introduction of many exo
tic animals and birds that have been
suggested, the Commission is gath
ering information on the “Black
Game” and the “Capercilzie”, from
Scandinavia and notherm Russia.
These birds are species of grouse
weighing as much as four to ten
pounds respectively and are believ
ed to be of a type that might adapt
themselves to Alaska conditions. If
obtainable, and when funds become
available, it is proposed to place the
first of these huge grouse on the Ke
nai Peninsula where climatic condi
tions are believed to be best for the
experiment.
Transplanted to Kodiak and Afog
nak Islands last winter as a part of
the federal CWA project administer
ed by the Commissioh, the snow-shoe
rabbits have increased remarkably.
These little animals are not only
found in considerable numbers in
the vicinity of where they were first
liberated, but have been recently ob

served more than 20 miles distant.
These rabbits, when they have in
creased to sufficient numbers and
spread to a larger area, will fulfill
a great need, hitherto lacking on the
island, as feed for wild foxes and in
a minor way as a readily available
cheap meat supply for the residents
of thfe region.
Afognak Island Elk
From an original start of eight
animals placed there in 1928, the
herd of Roosevelt elk on Afognak
Island is now said to number about
sixty. After a careful study of: con
ditions, the Commission has decided
to make the Kodiak-Afoghak Is
lands group the principal range of
these animals in the Territory.
Transplantings from this main herd
to other areas may be made if and
when conditions are believed to be
suitable. p.
Introduced by private fur farming
interests, ''-racoons have escaped
from captivity and are now found
in the Petersburg vicinity. These
furbearers are being carefully
watched by the Commission to see
how they adapt themselves to nat
ural conditions, with a view to pos
sible future introductions oh a larg
er scale.
Classified in the Alaska Game Act
as a furbearer, the black bear has
now, because of its low pelt value,
become regarded more as a game
animal. Big game hunters visiting
the south coast of the Territory are
seeking them as prized trophies of
their hunt. Easily killed and with
neither bag limit nor seasonal pro
tection when its pelt is of little val
ue, this animal is rapidly becoming
