Can anyone comment on that? Is it legal for a non-resident to hunt unguided in a place like the Brooks Range?
Pretty sure it depends on what is being hunted. Non-Alaskans can hunt black bear, moose, caribou and deer without a guide but if they want to hunt sheep, goat, muskox or the 2 big bears they must be guided. Not sure what the rule for wolves is but I would think you could hunt them unguided as well.
