Southcentral Alaska moose population management
Author unknown. 1999. Southcentral Alaska moose population management
We monitored fall harvest by personal interviews and by June 1999 indicated that 422 hunters killed 149 bulls during the 1998-99 general season. No general moose hunting season was open in 17A, 112 bulls were taken in 17B, and 27 were taken in 17C. Ten bulls were harvested in unspecified areas of Unit 17. Hunter success was 39 (13/33) for local Unit 17 residents, 27% (31/114) for other Alaska residents, and 38% (105/274) for nonresidents. One hunter did not report residency and was not successful. Aircraft provided the most common mode of transportation (66%). Eighty-one percent of harvested moose had antlers 50" or larger.
