GAME REGULATIONS i
WILL BE 1 EFFECT
ON JULY FIRST
MANY CHANGES, SOME LIBERAL
SOME OTHERWISE, APPEAR
COMMISSION REPORT
The following of general interest
to all sections of Alaska has just
been issued from the headquarters
in Juneau of the Alaska Game
Commission:
Changes in game and fur regula
tions to become effective July 1,
1930 have been published in the Al
aska Game Commission’s new Cir- |
cular No- 7. A supply of this cir
cular will soon be received from the
printers for distribution. As in the
past, copies will be mailed to all
persons who hold licenses for this
year. Those who do not receive a
copy thru the mail may secure one
from the Game Commissioner,
Game Warden, licensing officer or
from the Executive office at Jun
eau.
The makeup of the new circular
has been changed slightly. The
regulations will be found first, fol
lowed by excerps from the Alaska
Game Law and other Federal and
Territorial statues. The circular
also has a larger map of the Terri
tory than heretofore.
Among the changes *ln regula
tions for the year beginning July 1,
is the removal of the close season
on black bears thruout the Terri
tory. Several years ago it was con
sidered advisable to declare a con
tinuous open season on this animal
in the district north of the Alaska
range, and due to his unprecedent
ed increase in the remainder of the
Territory during the past two years
this continuous open season has
been extended to the remainder of
the Territory. To legally kill black
bears, however, a person must be
in possession of a trapping license
as under the law they are classed
as a fur-bearing animal.
An all-year open season on large
brown and grizzly bears is provided
for residents in a large part of the
Territory. Sections in whch resi
dents may kill these bears only
during the open season from Sep
tember 1 to June 20, consist of five
areas: (1) The drainage to the
Gulf of Alaska from the west shore
of Glacier Bay to the Alsek river;
(2> The drainage to the Gulf of Al
aska from the west shore of Yaka
;tat Bay and the west edge of Hub
ibard Glacier to the Bering river;
(3) The drainage to the west side
'of Cook Inlet between the west
bank of the Susitna river to its con
fluence with the Yentna River
thence along west bank of the
Yentna river to its confluence with
the Skwentna river, thence along
ithe south bank of the Skw'entna
| river to the summit of the Alanke
I range, and the old portage from
Kakhonak Bay on Iliarnna Lake to
Kamishak Bay; (4) All of the Al
aska Peninsula south and west of
the Kvichak river, Iliarnna Lake
and the old portage from Kakha
nak Bay to Kamishak Bay; (5) and
the following islands — Haw
kins, Hinchinbrook, Montague, Yo
cobi, and Shuyak. In these areas
a resident may take a bag limit of
|two animals or may kill a large
brown and grizzly bear at any time,
or place, when such animal is about
to attack or molest persons or pro
perty. Non-residents are permitted
to hunt large brown and grizzly
bears thruout. the Territory, during
the open season from September 1
to June 20, and may take a legal
,bay limit of two animals. These
