I also should have mentioned that you have to live in Alaska for a full year before you're considered a resident for hunting purposes. For the PFD (Permanent Fund Dividend) you have to live here for a full calendar year (Jan - Dec) before you're eligible for payment the following fall (not hunting related, just something most people don't understand). As a non-resident you can't hunt dall sheep, brown bear/griz, or mountain goat without a licensed guide or relative within the second degree of kindred. I'd highly suggest you spend some time reading through the regs at the links below to familiarize yourself with the law of the land.
