Surplus drawing permits for moose hunting in Interior Alaska will be issued on a first come\u2013first served basis to hunters whose faxed applications are received at the Fairbanks Fish and Game office beginning 8 a.m. Alaska time on March 9, 2016 until 5 p.m. May 16.<\/p>\n
Faxes received before 8 a.m. Alaska time on March 9 will not be considered.<\/p>\n
Permit applications are available from any Fish and Game office, and on the internet at http:\/\/www.adfg.alaska.gov\/index.cfm?adfg=huntlicense.undersubscribed, but the website does not allow hunters to apply online at this time. Applications must be downloaded, completed, signed and then faxed to the Fish and Game office in Fairbanks at (907) 459-7332. Hunters must complete and sign the application themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrawing permits are usually issued by random lottery, but we received fewer applications for these particular hunts this year, so not all of the permits were awarded,\u201d said Management Biologist Jackie Kephart. \u201cThe Board of Game allows us to decide whether or not to issue unused permits, and this year we will again make them available.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those who are awarded a permit will be contacted within one week of submitting their application.<\/p>\n
Kephart cautioned hunters that getting to these hunt areas can be difficult and expensive. Hunters should understand accessibility and other limitations before applying for these hunt areas. Antler restrictions, requirements to leave meat on the bone, and other limiting conditions apply in some of these hunts.<\/p>\n
