Federal Subsistence Season for Moose Closed in a Portion of Unit 5A

 

Yakutat District Ranger Lee Benson, under authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, is closing the 2016 Federal subsistence moose season for that portion of Unit 5A west of the Dangerous River, except the Nunatak Bench, effective Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has also implemented a closure (Emergency Order # 01-15-16) for the State season. 

 

 

The quota for the 2016 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. 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 November 15, 2016, 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.
