ALASKA BLAHS STILL HAVE
PROTECTION
Eironeous statements regard
ing the open seasons on large
brown and grizzly bears in Alas
ka have appeared in two recent
articles in the press of the coun
try, according to the Biological
Survey of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, the Bu
reau has made the following an
nouncement to correct otherwise
misleading impressions:
A recent review of the new
amendment to the regulations
undei the Alaska Game Law,
which become effective on July
J, included a statement from
which it majy be inferred that
non-residents of Alaska may
hunt large brown bear and griz
zly bears at any season of the
year except in restricted areas.
This may be misleading to those
who are contemplating going to
the Territory to hunt after July
1. The open season for non
residents for hunting these big
game animals throughout Alas
ka is from September 1 to June
20. In certain areas along the
gulf of Alaska and on the Alas
Peninsula residents of Alas
ka are restricted to the season
September 1 to June 20, but else
where in the Territory after
July 1 they will be permitted to
hunt these bears at any time of
the year.
The other misleading state
ment appeared in an article by
a well-known writer in the April
12 issue of a popular weekly
magazine of nation-wide circu
lation. In this it was alleged
that all restrictions on the kill
ing of big brown bears at any
season have been removed.
For the information of the
public, the Biological Survey fur
nishes the following text of the
new regulations on the open
season on large brown grizzly
bears throughout the Territory:
For a non-resident, Septem
ber 1 to June 20.
For a resident, no close season,
except in the following described
areas, where the .open .season
shall be September 1 to June 20:
(1) The Drainage to the Gulf
of Alaska from the west shore
