Section 5.85.025. Hunting seasons and bag limits for caribou.  


Latest version.
  • 	(a)  In this section, the phrase "General hunt only" means that there is a general hunt for residents, but no subsistence hunt, during the relevant open season. For those units or portions of units within non-subsistence areas established by the Joint Boards of Fisheries and Game (5 AAC 99.015), there is a general hunt only. Hunting seasons and bag limits for caribou are as follows:
