Alaska Big Game Hunting FAQs
What is the difference between a tag, harvest ticket, and a permit?
These terms mean different things in different states. In Alaska, a harvest ticket is required in most areas for general hunts to hunt deer, moose, caribou, and sheep. They are available free from license vendors. The harvest ticket must be carried in the field and validated by cutting out the day and month immediately upon taking game. The tickets must be returned to Fish and Game after the hunt and the data helps managers assess harvest.
For drawing or registration hunts, the drawing permit or registration permit acts as the harvest ticket.
In addition to a hunting license, nonresident hunters must buy appropriate locking tags to hunt big game in Alaska - this tag is locked on the hide immediately after the kill and must remain there until the hide is processed or exported. Brown bears, and black bears from some areas, must also be sealed. This means taking the skull and skin (with claws and evidence of gender attached) to an officially designated sealing officer, who records data on the hunt and the animal and locks a seal on the skin.
When do moose and caribou seasons generally start?
Moose seasons are almost always in September. Most caribou seasons start August 1. Refer to the appropriate hunting supplement for more information.
As a nonresident, am I required to have a guide to hunt?
Nonresident hunters do not need a guide to hunt moose, but do need a guide for several other species. To get more information visit our guiding requirements page.
How can I get a list of guides and transporters?
A list of Alaska guides and transporters can be purchased for $5 from:
The Division of Occupational Licensing
P.O. Box 110806
Juneau, AK, 99811-0806
907-465-2543.
You can also look up guides and/or transporters and have a list emailed to you by using the Professional Licensing Data Retrieval System.
Be sure to visit the Big Game Hunting Information page for more information on permit procedures and application deadlines.
