Moose On Increase On The Mainland
Moose on the Kenai Peninsula
are on the increase.
This might be called good news
for the hunter who goes to the
mainland every year for his moose,
combining as it were pleasure with
the business of filling his meat
locker for the winter ahead.
The statement was made by John
B. Hakala, refuge manager for the
Kenai Moose Range, in an inter
view with the editor of the Chee
chako News, news media in that
area.
Hakala said increases are shown
by all wild animal life with the pos
sible exception of black bear.
“There are possibly 8,000 or
more moose on the entire Kenai
Peninsula with an estimated 6,500
of them within boundaries of the
Kenai National Moose Range,” Ha
kala said. There is no scarcity of
bulls, he said. In fact more than
usual.
Sheep also are on the increase,
according to the article. Aerial
count of sheep actually seen in the
mountains of the Moose Range this
year numbered 817 animals in com
parison with a similar aerial survey
of 798 in 1959 and 763 in 1960. Ac
tual count of goats this year was
183, in 1960 it was 137.
“Wildlife population fluctuates
from year to year,” the refuge man
ager said “But the trend is decid
edly on the increase for goat, sheep
and moose. More brown bear have
been spotted, this year than in a
considerable number of years.”
FBI School Held
The Kodiak Police Department
has just completed its 9th FBI
school. According to Chief Vickery
of the Department, all officers did
real well on the range.
The drivers of autos bearing the
following license plate numbers
have unpaid traffic tickets and are
subject to arrest unless tickets are
paid within 48 hours:
The numbers are: 19342; 18908;
91892; and 18906.
The abundance of berries this
year is providing feed not only for
bear, but for increased numbers of
ptarmigan and spruce grouse, Ha
kala said.
A change in hunting regulations
was said to be a boon to hunters.
Last year a camp had to be estab
lished prior to hunting moose if an
airplane was used for transporta
tion. This year no such camp is re
quired. However, no hunting can
be done from the plane.
Moose and other big game ani
mails reportedly are in their best
condition now, due to the series of
mild winters giving good winter
feeding and the abundance of
browse and other feed conditions.
