Alaska Spring Bear Hunting: Essential Rules & Safety Tips

0:00In Anchorage, it's March 12, and here's what is going on. Spring Bear hunting permits are opening soon in Alaska. The Department of Fish and Game requires all hunters to have current licenses and permits before heading out. They also must return specific bear parts for official ceiling to monitor harvest and identify species. Rules change based on the hunting unit, particularly bag limits for brown or grizzly bears. Limits range from one bear every four regulatory years to two bears every regulatory year. A regulatory year spans from July first through June 30. Experienced hunter Tyler Johnson, who survived a brown bear attack last year, shares key lessons from the field. He urges hunters to pack satellite devices and trauma kits and to refresh supplies after use since they can truly save lives. Johnson emphasizes planning ahead with partners, inciting in firearms before trips to avoid wasted efforts. He also recommends making noise while moving to prevent surprising bears in close quarters.
