ti.Y ALASKA COMMISION AT
RECENT SESSION IN JUNEAU
(Continued From Page 1.)
mulgated under the .Alaska. Game
Law for the year beginning July 1,
1928, are being recommended to the
Sedretary of Agriculture:
Beaver.
It. is t he desire of the Commission
to maintain the breeding stock, of
heaver at a point where the heavy
trapping of one or two seasons will
iritJ deplete the -supply to the danger
line loading to extermination. With
this end in view-, it is thought best to
fellow a. period of one or two • open
. easons v. .th a like period of closed
reason s.-.v
Information received from those
sections of the Territory where beaver
voire permitted to be trapped last
year, together with the knowledge of
the extraordinary large catches made
and the losses ensuing from the- tak
ing-of these animals by shooting, has
aosed the Commission to fear that
vith the unknown outcome of the
orient year’s open season the danger
lire is rapidly approaching. This con
dition is heinng hastened by the ten
dency of less experienced trappers to
follow the line of least resistance and
trap too closely those animals found
n the more readily accessible regions,
n .fact-the lower reaches of some of
.he best beaver streams are now al
most denuded of beaver. After care- •
fuL consideration the Commission is
recommending that the the heaver
ip-ason he closed for the year 1929.
Muskrats.
Recommendations received from,
persons residing in fur district No. 3
indicate that the present open season j
on muskrats closes too soon after the \
breakup to alio wa normal catch of,
these animals to be made. To correct
this- condition the Commission is rec
ommending that the season be permit
ted to remain open a few days longer. |
The same condition is found in the. |
Tanana river region in fur district No. j
l, Sand a similar recommendation is
being made.
Mink.
Recommendations of residents and
available records of pelts taken indi
cate that the supply of mink in fur
district No. 3 has become so depleted
isfto justify a recommendation for
the closing of the mink season in this
district.
Black Bear.
Petitions and recommendations
from residents of that part of fud
district No. 2 north of the Alaska
range and Ahklun mountains ask that
the protection now given black bear
through the closed season from June
20.to September 1 be removed. These
recommendations and petitions are
based on the damage being done to
the supply of game animals by. . the
black bear killing young moose and
! caribou ca.ves. The Commission rec
j onimends that there be no closed sea
' son on black bear in that part of fur'
district No. 2 north of the Alaska
1 range and Ahklun mountains.
Permits to Capture Fur-Bearers.
That the fur farms of the Territory
! may benefit from the sale of domesti
cated fur-bearers for breeding stock,
he Commission will hereafter not
ssue any permits for the capture of
fur-bearers for propagation purposes
where these animals are to be re
moved from tlie Territory. Few per
1 mits of this nature have been issued,
; but the increasing demand for breed
ling stock of Alaskan strains has!
has caused the Commission to adopt.
I this policy.
Some confusion seems to exist in
the interpretation of the present reg
ulations where a person desires to re
tain alive for propagation purposes
such animals as are caught during the
regular open trapping season. Ani
mals may he iaptured and retained
alive during the regular open season,
j but it is necessary to obtain a permit
i to retain them after the close of the
open season. Such permits may be
secured upon application to the execu-'
tive office of the Commission.
Big Game.
It has long been known that Alaska
permitted as large or larger a bag
limit of big game to non-resident
hunters than may be taken in many
of the big game fields of the world.
Many big game hunters and other
non-residents visiting the Territory
during the past few years have rec
ommended that Alaska reduce the bag
limit of non-residentsvisiting.l mm f
limit of big game allowed non-resi
dent hunters.
Hunters visiting the Alaska Penin
sula and other western regions during
the past year have been disappointed !
in their efforts to secure a desirable
trophy of that much desired animal
which is found only in Alaska, the ’
large brown bear. Guides and other
residents of that region who benefit
from the thousands of dollars spent
annually by non-resident hunters j
searching for this much-desired tro
phy, have recommended a reduction in
the bag limit of three now permitted.
That this westward region might
maintain its supply of large brown
and grizzly bears, the Commission
recommends that the bag limit be re-!
duced to two on the Kenai and Alaska
peninsulas and the Kodiak-Afognak
island group.
Moose.
That the small number of moose.
now found in the region south of Ili
| amna lake might be permitted to in- j
crease, the Commission is recommend
ing that the season be closed for an
indefinite period on the Alaska Pe
ninsula south of Iliamna lake.
Cariboo.
Many recommendations from resi

Merchandise
dents and from non-resident hu. ter
ask that the present bag limit of
i three caribou, now permitted to a
1 non-resident hunter north of (he
Alaska range and Ahklurt mountains,
' be reduced to two, thereby making
! the non-resident bag limit of the an
1 ltnal uniform throughout the Terri
u>ry. The Commission has reiom
mended this reduct.on.
Mount'd.n Sheep.
Present regug.tions permit a non.
resident hunter to take three moun
tain sheep north of the Arctic < .rcle.
However, duj to the scarcity •! this
animals in certain portion of ..he re
gions north of the Circle, ti e C t.i
mission is recommending that he
iimit be reduced to two, thereby .mak
ing the non-resident bag limit ua.e.r.a
1 throughout the Territory.

license year beginning July 1, ii'2...
