Federal Subsistence Season for Moose Closed in a Portion of Unit 5a
The Yakutat District Ranger, under authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, is closing the 2013 Federal subsistence moose season for that portion of Unit 5A west of the Dangerous River, except the Nunatak Bench, effective October 26 at 11:59 p.m. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has implemented a similar closure (Emergency Order # 01-10-13) for the State season.
As of October 24 2013, the reported harvest of bull moose taken by State and Federal hunters from the portion of Unit 5A west of the Dangerous River, except Nunatak Bench, reached 23 bulls. The quota for the 2013 moose season in Unit 5A, except Nunatak Bench, is 55 bulls, with no more than 25 of those bulls to be taken from the area west of the Dangerous River. In anticipation of some harvest not yet reported and other harvest potentially taking place today and tomorrow, this closure is necessary to ensure that the harvest quota is not exceeded. Hunters are reminded that the remainder of Game Management Unit 5A east of the Dangerous River will remain open for moose hunting through November15, 2013, or until the overall harvest of bull moose in Unit 5A, except Nunatak Bench, reaches 55 bulls. For additional information, contact U.S. Forest Service Yakutat District Ranger Lee Benson at (907) 784-3359. -end-
