Arctic Oven - own one Posted by 17 Rem on Sep 29 2004

The first high dollar item I purchased upon returning to AK in 2000 was a 10x10 Arctic Oven (AO) As a former REI employee (a gear junky having a real job as well) I currently own at least six high end tents including several single wall types Recognizing AOs are bulky and heavy they have one feature that appears unmatched The inner tent is polypropylene (sp) and in combination with a small dry-burning wood stove you can effectively dry out almost any wet gear just by hanging it up to dry inside the tent hellipThe other pair of hunters had a 12x12 Barneys Bombshelter that was cold dark and damp like a cave even with a kerosene heater and lantern going

Dear Alaska Tent and Tarp

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy my AO8 tent Irsquove had the chance to ta ke it on a couple of trips and use it in a variety of conditions The tent is one of the best Irsquove ever used O n our 10 day canoe trip in northern British Columbia the tent and stove kept us warm and dry in torrential downp ours proving that rain is nothing to this tent - and that ventilation is excellent Days of continuous ra in never soaked through It also easily withstood 50 kmhr and more winds recently during an arctic trip to Baker La ke Nunavut where we were subjected to non-stop hard wind on the tundra Irsquove included a photo here of the tent at the campground near Baker Lake Nunavut - maybe yoursquod like it for your websitetestimonials Your custom ers can rest assured that these Arctic Oven tents will perform in all kinds of weather

Thank you for making such an excellent product

At the end of hunting sea-son who takes home Alaskarsquos wildlife Is it residents or out-of-state hunters The answer depends on the animal mdash most brown bears head out of state most moose and caribou are eaten by Alaskans

Alaska is home to almost a million caribou and close to 200000 moose In 2007 Alas-kans took home 90 percent of the 7400 harvested moose About 6750 moose were har-vested by Alaskans and 685 by nonresident hunters

Nonresident hunters har-vested only about 1350 caribou in Alaska in 2007 out of a har-vest of about 22000 animals Thatrsquos about six percent Alas-kans took home about 94 per-cent of the caribou harvested in the state mdash and probably more since that estimate of resident

harvest is conservative

A management mythCritics of predator manage-

ment claim the practice is done to benefit ldquo wealthy out of state huntersrdquo and ldquo non-Alaska trophy huntersrdquo But the numbers donrsquot support that and hunting is closed to non-residents in most of the areas where predator management is taking place

Predator management is taking place in six areas near Fairbanks in parts of Game Management Units 20 and 25 near Tok in Unit 12 near Glen-nallen in parts of Unit 13 near McGrath in parts of Unit 19 west of Anchorage in parts of Unit 16 and on the southern end of the Alaska Peninsula in part of Unit 9 In all these areas combined in 2007 nonresident hunters took just 6 percent of the caribou and 5 percent on the moose

Wildlife biologist Becky

Schwanke helps manage Unit 13 near Glennallen an area thatrsquos home to the Nelchina Caribou Herd Schwanke said all the caribou harvested in Unit 13 in 2007 were taken by residents as well as all of the moose

Schwanke said that because of the structure of the inten-sive management law as well as subsistence laws nonresident hunting is eliminated when there is not enough game for residents But even before Unit 13 was closed to nonresidents the majority of hunters were residents In 2001 only two per-cent of the almost 3000 hunters in Unit 13 were nonresidents

Wildlife biologist Roger Sea-voy is based in McGrath and helps manage wildlife in that area GMU 19 Seavoy said that the area is closed to nonresi-dent hunting He wrote ldquoThere are no nonresident seasons for moose within 19A or the portion of Unit 19D East where we have a predator control program It

is fair to say that there is no nonresident harvest in any of the predator control areas man-aged out of McGrath Once in a while a nonresident reports taking a moose within these areas but on further review it generally turns out that they have misreported a moose taken elsewhererdquo

Why are nonresidents tak-ing even a few percent of the animals in predator manage-ment areas GMUs are divid-ed into smaller subunits and hunting may be permitted in one subunit and not another Predator management is imple-mented to increase numbers of caribou in some areas moose in others Predator control in the Delta Junction area (20D) for example is intended to benefit caribou and nonresidents are permitted to hunt moose there Thirdly unlike moose caribou move extensively between Game Management Units depending on the season and the year and

caribou management focuses more on the herd than on the GMU Nonresidents may be allowed to hunt one herd in a GMU but not another

Big game breakdownAlaska has an estimated

30000 brown bears statewide Nonresident hunters harvest more brown bears than Alas-kans In 2007 about 1900 brown bears were harvested in Alaska About 700 were taken by Alaska residents and about 1200 were taken by nonresi-dents mdash about 67 percent

About one-third all the brown bears harvested come from the Alaska Peninsula 630 bears were taken from Unit 9 and more than half those came from the southern half of the peninsula Unit 9E where 50 bears were taken by residents and almost 300 by nonresidents Kodiak Island (Unit 8) and

Southeast Alaskarsquos Admiralty Chichagof and Baranof islands (Unit 4) are the other top brown bear producers

There are an estimated 100000 black bears in Alaska In the past five years harvest has averaged about 2800 each year Statewide harvest has increased steadily in the past five years from about 2500 in 2003 to 3250 in 2007

In general about half the statewide harvest of black bears is by resident and half by non-

residents However that varies tremendously from area to area and some areas see considerable nonresident hunting In Unit 2 in Southeast Alaska Prince of Wales and adjacent islands the five-year average (450year) shows that about 88 percent of the black bears are taken by nonresident hunters

Alaskarsquos Dall sheep are popu-lar with nonresident hunters and the harvest is split fairly evenly between residents and nonresidents In 2007 nonresi-dents took 403 sheep while res-ident hunters took 513 about

57 percentIn 2007 518 mountain goats

were harvested 158 by nonresi-dents (about 30 percent) and 360 by resident hunters

Other animals receive virtu-ally no attention from nonresi-dent hunters Only one musk ox was taken in 2007 by a non-resident and 257 were taken by Alaskans Only three bison were taken by nonresidents and 117 were harvested by residents

The number of hunters in Alaska is in steep decline according to a survey released last year by the US Fish and Wildlife Service Therersquos just one problem mdash itrsquos not true

The report ldquo2006 National Survey of Fishing Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Rec-reation Alaskardquo released in May 2008 compared hunters in Alaska in 2006 to hunters in 2001 and reported 26 per-cent fewer hunters The 81-page report contains a lot of information but that detail was highlighted in the news triggering an outcry of con-cern that hunters are a dying breed in Alaska

That didnrsquot ring true for Bob Sutherland a biometri-cian with the Alaska Depart-ment of Fish and Game Sutherland works with hunt-er harvest data among other things and he just didnrsquot see that trend

ldquoIf the number of hunt-ers dropped three percent or eight percent yoursquod be ask-ing lsquoWhat happenedrsquo A 25 percent drop would be really strikingrdquo he said ldquoWe havenrsquot seen that drop in numbersrdquo

The USFWS survey report-ed there were about 55000 Alaska resident hunters in 2006 They contrasted that with their 2001 figure of 74000 Alaska hunters mdash a 26 percent decline

Sutherland knew from har-vest data that the number of

hunters had not declined by 26 percent But how do you answer the question ldquoHow

many hunters are there in Alaskardquo

The USFWS used tele-

phone surveys Sutherland looked at harvest data over a five-year period He tracked

individuals who entered the Division of Wildlife Conserva-tionrsquos hunter harvest system and then detailed their reap-pearance over time

ldquoIf they came in on a reg-istration hunt a draw hunt or a general season hunt for big game animals they enter Wildlifersquos hunter harvest systemrdquo he said ldquoWe can uniquely identify him and now I can track that guyrdquo

The fall Fortymile caribou hunt is like one of those small towns you drive through in the Midwest at 80 mph mdash if you blink you miss it

Last year for example the hunt off the Steese Highway lasted only four days and the Taylor Highway hunt was open for six days before hunt-ers reached the harvest quo-tas and the Department of Fish and Game closed the hunt in both areas by emer-gency order

Therersquos no reason to think this year will be any different assistant area biologist Tor-sten Bentzen in Tok said

ldquoThatrsquos what wersquore expect-ing based on previous yearsrdquo he said ldquoThatrsquos how itrsquos tend-ed to go in the last few years If the herd isnrsquot right on the road and itrsquos not as accessible to hutners on ATVS it may stay open longerrdquo

The Fortymile caribou hunt is broken into three separate hunts in the fall and two in winter The total fall harvest

quota is 640 animals The winter quota is 210

The fall hunt with the biggest quota is the Taylor Highway hunt in Units 12 and 20E The harvest quota for that hunt is 290 animals The Steese Highway hunt in Game Management Unit 25C and 20B has a quota of 190

animals and the quota for a roadless hunt in Units 20B and 20D is 160 animals

Last year hunters reached the quota in all three hunts

Biologists did a photo cen-sus of the herd in July which should allow them to get a good estimate on the herd Bentzen said They were not

able to do a herd census last year The last census two years ago estimated the herd size at about 40000 animals the same number it has been at for the last three or four years

ldquoWe did get a good cen-sus but we havenrsquot finished counting the photographsrdquo

he said ldquoThis year wersquoll actu-ally be able to pin it down and figure out if we do have some kind of increase or notrdquo

The herd had a relatively weak calf crop this year with only about 70 percent birth rates this spring

ldquoThatrsquos lowrdquo Tok area biol-ogist Jeff Gross said ldquoAbove 80 percent is what we like to see Ninety percent is idealrdquo

The herd should benefit

Sutherland found that 174272 Alaska residents went hunting between 2003 and 2007 about 25 percent of the total population Overall he found the number of hunters is stable

The number of Alaska hunt-ers isnrsquot defined simply by the number of hunting licenses sold to Alaska residents in a given year Sutherland found that many hunters donrsquot hunt every single year But license sales do offer some clues In 2006 there were 90675 Alaska resi-dent hunting licenses sold In 2001 there were 86155 Alaska resident hunting licenses sold That would indicate an increase of about four percent

The number of unique resi-dent hunters who have obtained at least one harvest ticket in a year is another trend indicator State records indicate that con-sistently between 56000 and 66000 resident individuals (age 16 and older) participated in big game hunting There is no evidence to indicate a signifi-cant drop in participation in big game hunting by Alaska resi-dents during this period

Another indicator of hunting trends is the number of unique resident applicants for draw permit hunts That has also remained stable between 2001 and 2006 During this period harvest records show annual unique applicants for draw per-mits has consistently remained in the 20000 to 22000 range every year

Sutherland added that his numbers donrsquot reflect trappers any bird hunters (upland and ducks) or bear hunters unless they hunt on a draw ticket So those are additional hunters

Using the hunter harvest data Sutherland performed a mark-recapture experiment on Alaska hunters Mark-recapture is a fundamental tool used by wildlife biologists a technique that allows biologists to esti-mate numbers of animals

ldquoI did a mark recapture experiment just like you do with grouse or bears But Irsquom using humansrdquo he said

Sutherland found some interesting things about Alaska hunters Comparing hunters year-to-year over five years he found about one-third only hunt one year and do not reappear in

the systemAbout one-third hunt every

single year and about one-third skip a year or two

Sutherland offered some suggestions as to why hunters might take a year off He said many hunters apply for permit hunts for sheep or moose for example and if they donrsquot get a permit for the hunt they want they donrsquot go that year Oth-ers have conflicting family and work situations for example they have young kids and take a few years off and then resume when they can start hunting with their kids

Sutherland concluded the number of hunters in Alaska is stable Although there was not a drop in the number of hunt-ers between 2001 and 2006 the percentage of the popula-tion that hunts is slightly lower Thatrsquos because the Alaska pop-ulation increased from about 630000 to about 680000 and that stable number of hunters

is a proportionately smaller per-centage

ldquoThe Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice said there were 25 per-cent fewer hunters and I show indeed that is not the caserdquo Sutherland said

The survey also reported that sport fishing in Alaska was down Bill Romberg a fisheries biologist with the Department of Fish and Game said that is inconsistent with the depart-mentrsquos data He wrote ldquoSpecifi-cally the 2006 FHWAR survey reported a 25 percent decline in numbers of resident Alas-ka anglers almost 30 percent decline in total anglers (resi-dent and nonresident) and a 18 percent decline in participa-tion (days fished) between 2001 and 2006 However our agency surveys indicate a nearly 10 per-cent increase in the number of anglers a 2 percent increase in resident anglers and a 2 per-cent increase in days fished dur-ing this same time periodrdquo

A copy of the survey was provided to state biologist for review prior to publication and the Department of Fish and Game contacted the USFWS regarding the discrepancies As a result the final survey con-tains the following caveat

ldquoThe Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) has expressed concerns regard-ing Alaska participation and trend estimates from the 2006 National Surveyrdquo

So why was the USFWS survey so wrong This was a national survey with state components The Alaska sam-ple size was relatively small probably too small and very likely the surveyors asked the wrong questions at the wrong time Information in the sur-vey was gathered by the US Census Bureau through tele-phone interviews conducted in the springtime and initially about 550 Alaska households participated Callers were asked

if they had already participated in hunting or fishing in 2006 at the time of the interview and were then categorized

Fish and Game data indi-cates about 175000 Alaska resi-dents are hunters

Bruce Bartley an informa-tion officer with Fish and Game pointed out that the number of people benefiting from hunting mdash eating wild game mdash is much larger than the number of hunt-ers particularly in some rural areas where a few hunters pro-vide lots of game for numerous residents in villages Sutherland echoed that sentiment

ldquoI share my game with friendsrdquo he said ldquoEverybody I know shares this stuff so itrsquos benefitting a bigger segment of the population than just the huntersrdquo

from the statersquos intensified predator control program in the region last year Gross said

Not satisfied with how many wolves permit holders in the statersquos aerial wolf con-trol program were taking the department used a helicop-ter to find shoot and kill 84 wolves in the Fortymile region in March Adding in the num-ber of wolves taken by permit holders trappers and hunt-ers a total of 217 wolves were killed in the region last year

ldquoWith some of the wolf reductions from last winter

I think the herd stands a good chance to remain pret-ty stablerdquo Gross said ldquoWe donrsquot anticipate much of an increaserdquo

At the time of the census in early July most of the herd was located in the upper Sal-cha River country but they are likely scattered between the Steese Highway north of Fairbanks to the Canadian border by now Bentzen said Biologists were planning to conduct an aerial survey of the herd earlier this week to find the herd

The results of that survey are available on the Fortymile caribou hotline at 267-2310

ldquoWe donrsquot give specifics but it should be updated with a general idea of where the caribou might be availablerdquo Bentzen said

The most popular hunting spot for the herd is Chicken Ridge about 60 miles out the Taylor Highway The area is accessible by ATV and there is a network of trails that hunters can use to access the herd

ldquoAll along the Taylor High-way there are various spots people huntrdquo he said ldquoDefi-nitely the most traffic is on Chicken Ridgerdquo

The situation is much the same on the Steese Highway where Eagle and Twelvemile summits are the hotspots for hunters

ldquoPretty much wherever there is ATV access therersquos going to be other peoplerdquo Bentzen said

Not only does wild game meat taste good itrsquos good for you

Game meat is typically lower in saturated fat and calories than domestic meat Wild animals in Alaska feed on wild plants shrubs and trees

that do not contain pesticides or herbicidesWhen game meat is cared for properly many

people prefer it instead of domestic meat because of its flavor lower fat content and lack of addi-tives such as antibiotics or growth hormones

Hunters will apply from Nov 1 to Dec 31


Here are two dates that Alaska hunters should mark on their calen-dars mdash Nov 1 and Dec 31

Those are the new opening and closing dates for the application peri-od for drawing and Tier II hunting permits for all big game species in

Alaska except for one nonresident brown bear hunt on Kodiak Island

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game made the change to one winter drawing permit application period for all resident hunters to make things less confusing for hunt-ers and cheaper for the department regulations program director Suzan Bowen in Anchorage said

In addition hunters will have more time mdash two months instead of one mdash to apply and more time to plan for their hunts she said

ldquoThere are several advantages to it for both us and the publicrdquo Bowen said of the new winter application period

For the last eight years the state had two application periods for draw-ing and Tier I and II permits There was a Nov 1 to Dec 5 winter applica-tion period for Dall sheep mountain goat Kodiak brown bear Koyukuk moose and some other moose hunts and there was a May 1-31 application period for all other permit hunts

The two different application

periods sometimes confused hunters many of whom applied for permits during both

Hunters are allowed to apply for only three hunts for any one species and the two application period sys-tem sometimes resulted in hunters applying for too many moose hunts

ldquoPeople would apply for a couple of moose hunts in the winter draw and a couple more in the spring draw and then get kicked out of the systemrdquo

State switches to one application period of permit hunts

analyst programmer Kurt Kamletz said

The winter drawing period will give all hunters the same amount of time to plan their hunts

Previously hunters who applied in the winter hunt had about five extra months to plan their hunts compared to hunters who applied for permits in May

ldquoApplicants in the winter hunt found out in Febru-ary if they got a permit and applicants in the May period didnrsquot find out until Julyrdquo Bowen said

ldquoIf there are a limited number of transporters for a certain hunt or area a lot of times they were booked by the time people in the May application period found out they got a permitrdquo

Under the new system hunters will now whether they get a permit sometime in February or March Bowen said

There are actually two deadlines for submitting per-mit applications

The cut-off for submitting paper applications will be

Dec 15 while those submit-ting applications online will have until Dec 31

Starting next year the deadline for submitting paper applications will be Nov 31 while hunters applying online will have until Dec 31 It takes longer to process paper applications explained Bowen

ldquoWersquore trying to get people to do it electronicallyrdquo she said ldquoIt just increases effi-ciency across the boardrdquo

The Department of Fish and Game receives about 25000 to 30000 permit applications each year and the average number of hunts applied for on each applica-

tion is three or four Bowen said

That translates to about 100000 hunt applications she said

Currently about 50 per-cent of hunters apply online and department officials would like to see that number go higher

Applying online also bene-fits hunters by alerting them if they make a mistake that would result in the disqualifi-cation of a paper application such as applying for the same hunt twice or applying for too many hunts for the same spe-cies Bowen said

ldquoIf they do something wrong online they get a little window that says lsquoYou canrsquot do thatrsquordquo she said

ldquoIt helps people from mak-ing common mistakes that could get them kicked out of the drawingrdquo

Switching to just one appli-cation period also saves the department money because the agency doesnrsquot have to process two sets of applica-tions a time and staff con-suming job Kamletz said

Hunters stalking black bears in must now have a black bear harvest ticket similar to a moose or caribou harvest ticket

The statewide change was made starting this regulatory year in an attempt to figure out how many black bear hunters there are in Alaska Fairbanks area biologist Don Young said

Requiring a harvest ticket for black bears will give game

managers a better idea of hunt-er effort Young said

ldquoTherersquos no way to capture that information without a har-vest ticketrdquo he said

The state has a good handle on the harvest of black bears because hunters must have the hides of the bears they shoot sealed by the Department of Fish and Game in most parts of the state Young said

Black bear harvest tickets will be available anywhere hunting licenses are sold and

also online at the Department of Fish and Gamersquos Web site

The black bear harvest tick-ets will be similar to a moose harvest ticket Hunters will be asked where they hunted how many days they hunted what commercial services were used what kind of transportation was used whether or not they killed the date of kill if successful and the sex of the animal

ldquoIt will give us a lot of infor-mation on bear hunters that are unsuccessfulrdquo Young said

Harvest tickets now required for black bears

With grouse numbers down throughout most of the Interior the fall fore-cast isnrsquot good for game bird hunters

Results of ruffed grouse counts this spring indicate the species is approaching the low point in its seven- to 10-year cycle biologist Don Young with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said

ldquoWersquore not as low as we were in the previous low but wersquore approaching itrdquo Young said ldquoI expect next year wersquoll be at the low

The grouse population cycle follows that of snow-shoe hares which also fluc-tuates on a seven- to 10-year cycle When the number of snowshoe hares goes up the number of grouse goes down because the increase in

hares produces an increase in grouse predators such as lynx fox golden eagles goshawks and great-horned owls

The snowshoe hare cycle peaked in most of the Inte-rior last year and there are still lots of predators around as a result Young said

Fairbanks grouse guru Jim McCann author of ldquoUpland Hunting In Alas-kardquo concurred with Youngrsquos assessment of Interior game bird populations

ldquoThis year is not going to be a good year for the casual bird hunterrdquo said McCann who does not fall into that category ldquoThe casual hunt-er wants to drive down the road and shoot 30 of them That ainrsquot going to hap-penrdquo

For the seventh year in a row the US Army Corps of Engineers will host a hunt for the Paralyzed Veterans of America on the Chena Flood Control Project in North Pole

This yearrsquos PVA hunt is scheduled for Sept 11-15 project manager John Schaake said

The details had yet to be worked out at press time but Schaake expects four or five paralyzed hunters to partici-pate in this yearrsquos hunt The US Army Corps of Engineers has played host to 24 PVA

hunters from the Lower 48 and Alaska in the seven years of the hunt three of which have successfully bagged a moose

The hunters use wheel-chair-friendly hunting blinds built by the Borealis Kiwanis Club several years ago and are situated in different spots on the Flood Control Project

This yearrsquos hunt was sched-uled later in the season in hopes of cooler weather and more moose activity Schaake said

As in past years Schaake asks hunters to avoid hunt-ing on Corps land north of the Chena River near Moose

Creek Dam before and during the PVA hunt to increase the odds for disabled hunters

ldquoThere are only a limited number of bulls potentially available each year to the PVA guys and wersquod like to give them the greatest chance possible to harvest a bullrdquo Schaake said ldquoWersquove had remarkable sup-port of this request

ldquoWersquove found that most hunters wouldnrsquot dream of hunting in the area after they find out about the hunt and many end up volunteering to help the PVA guysrdquo he said

As a way of showing its appreciation for the opportu-nity afforded to PVA mem-

bers by the Corps the PVA donated a Hunt Master hunt-ing blind to the Chena Flood Control Project two years ago The Hunt Master is a portable hunting blind that raises 18 feet off the ground with an electricalhydraulic scissor lift The unit is self-contained on a trailer that can be towed by a truck to be moved Last year was the first year the Hunt Master was used

The PVA hunt has become a passion for Schaake who goes out of his way to make the hunt as comfortable and memorable for the hunters as possible

ldquoThe PVA hunters always rave about the amount of com-munity support they receive from the minute the come off the planerdquo Schaake said ldquoAll say that hunting moose in Alaska is a dream come true Having an opportunity to see

and hunt moose in our state is beyond their wildest imagina-tion Their success comes from just getting to and being in the field with a realistic chance of punching a harvest ticketrdquo

This year the Corps built bunkhouses for the PVA hunt-ers to sleep in so they wonrsquot have to stay in hotels in Fair-banks and be transported to and from North Pole each day

Lt Lantz Dahlke with Alaska Wildlife Troopers in Fairbanks has donated sev-eral confiscated trophies and mounts to hang on the walls of the bunkhouse Schaake said

ldquoItrsquos going to be kind of a neat little placerdquo he said ldquoItrsquoll be their own hunting lodge with a porch that they can hang out on instead of hang-ing out in the Corps officesrdquo

MOOSE OR CARIBOU TONGUE

This is perfect while still in hunting camp

Put tongue or heart in a large pot cover with cold water and add 14 cup pick-ling spices 14 cup salt and 14 cup either cider (pre-ferred) or white vinegar Place lid on pot (or use tin foil) and soak in the shade (ideally it will be in the low 40s which is a good refrigera-tor temperature) for a day or two Drain water (some pick-ling spices will partially stay) replace with fresh water add a couple bay leaves 1 table-spoon or so of peppercorns and 1 tablespoon pickling spices Bring to a boil then simmer for a couple hours Allow to cool

TongueWhen cool peel off the out-

er skin Slice thinly add salt and pepper and eat Makes excellent sandwiches Also is a good hors drsquo oeuvre served with a hot Chinese mustard

HeartServe either hot or cold

This is good in place of a roast and it can be diced and added to a stew Sliced it makes excellent cold sand-wiches add sweet pickle rel-ish and mustard or horserad-ish to the sandwich If you have lettuce great If not itrsquos good without

I usually have a pressure

cooker with me in hunting camp as it has a locking lid mdash perfect for knocking around in the woods I donrsquot cook the heart and tongue under pressure because it takes too much cold water to bring the temperature down quickly enough If you hap-pen to be near a source of cold water though go ahead and cook under pressure using the weight guidelines for length of time and take care not to overfill the cooker

As just about any hunter who has seriously pursued a moose in Alaska will tell you therersquos no such thing as a guaranteed moose hunt

Of the approximately 25000 hunters who take to the Alaska wilds each hunt-ing season in hopes of bring-ing home a moose to put in the freezer only about one in about every four is suc-cessful

The average success rate for moose hunters in Alaska is roughly 25 percent according to Fairbanks area biologist Don Young with the Depart-ment of Fish and Game

So how do you increase your odds of getting a moose

Well it might mean camp-ing out for 24 hours in 40-degree below temperatures like a number of hunters did this in January to get a per-mit for the Minto Flats Man-agement Area winter hunt

Or it might mean forking over a few bucks to apply for

a drawing permit and getting lucky enough to draw one

Here are the hunts in the Interior that have the highest success rates based on statis-tics compiled by the Depart-ment of Fish and Game

Success is defined as the percentage of hunters who actually reported hunting

Yoursquove got to be 16 or younger to apply for this hunt but if you draw a per-mit itrsquos like taking candy from a baby

Last year all 10 hunters who drew a permit reported taking a moose In 2007 nine of 10 permit holders bagged a moose all of them cows

Permit holders can take a spikefork bull a bull with

an antler spread of 50 inches or better or a cow that is not accompanied by a calf

The hunt is split up into the first three weekends in September and each permit holder is assigned a four-day hunting period

Delta area biologist Steve DuBois reports that he has seen as many as 50 moose on the bison range at one time during the hunting season

Last year 244 hunters applied for the 10 permits

Regulation book error for game unit 25C

There was a snafu in the regulation book in Game Management Unit 25C north of Fairbanks that pertains to nonresident moose hunters

The regulation book states the nonresident moose sea-son in the unit is open from Sept 5-25 The season for nonresidents is actually Sept 5-15

Cow harvest in FMA drops

A regulation change that prohibits archery hunters from shooting a cow accom-panied by a calf produced a drastic drop in success rates in the Fairbanks Manage-ment Area last hunting sea-son

The success rate for bow-hunters in the FMA which basically encompasses a circle around residential Fairbanks from Fox to Ester to North Pole last year dropped from 34 percent to 23 percent

ldquoYou canrsquot shoot a cow with a calf and you canrsquot shoot a calfrdquo Fairbanks area biologist Don Young said explaining the lower success rates in 2008 ldquoThat really reduced the number of ani-mals that were availablerdquo

The drop in success rates came even though the state cut the number of permits it issued in half mdash from 151 to 75 Only 14 of the 61 hunters who reported hunting took a moose

In 2007 42 of the 124 hunters who reported hunt-ing bagged a moose

Macomb caribou harvest increases

As expected the harvest of Macomb caribou nearly doubled last year as a result of a change that allowed motorized access for the final two days of the season

Hunters killed 44 caribou in the unit 20D registration permit hunt last year com-pared to 27 in 2007

The same regulation is in place for this yearrsquos hunt

because the herd is still estimated at just over 1000 animals which is above the management objective

Alaska Wildlife Troopers refer to it as ldquoknocking the wheels offrdquo

ldquoThey take all four legs off they take the backstraps and they walk awayrdquo Sgt Scott Quist with the Fairbanks detachment of wildlife troopers said ldquoThey leave the neck the brisket the ribs and very often the tenderloins

ldquoI betcha Irsquove seen 200 of those in my career veteran trooper said ldquoItrsquos most common with caribourdquo

In trooper speak itrsquos called ldquofailure to salvage all edible meat of a big game animalrdquo and it will bag you a ticket mdash and possibly jail time mdash if you get caught And therersquos a decent chance yoursquoll get caught

Failure to salvage all edible meat is one of the most com-mon hunting violations wildlife

troopers see every year and itrsquos one they take seriously Quist said

ldquoTherersquos not a mountain around that we wonrsquot climb to make a waste caserdquo he said

Hunting laws in Alaska were written to emphasize the sal-vage of meat not the trophy value of an animal Depending on how much meat a hunter leaves on an animal determines whether he or she is cited for failure to salvage or wanton

waste according to Lt Lantz Dahlke with Fairbanks wildlife troopers Wanton waste is a more serious offense than fail-ure to salvage

ldquoYou donrsquot have to worry if we come in there and have a handful of meat but if I come in there and trim a bag of meat off thatrsquoll get you a citationrdquo Dahlke said

Failure to salvage the hind-quarter of a big game animal or the breast meat of wild birds

including waterfowl carries a mandatory sentence of seven days in jail and a $2500 fine he said

ldquoTechnically if you shoot a teal and waste the meat of the breasts you can go to jailrdquo Dahlke said

While some hunters leave meat behind because they donrsquot want to expend the effort of removing neck or rib meat oth-ers simply donrsquot know better

ldquoThe two main reasons peo-ple waste meat is people donrsquot have the knowledge (about butchering an animal) and they donrsquot know what theyrsquore getting intordquo Quist said ldquoThey shoot an animal thatrsquos too far away and realize when this truck-size animal is down that they have to pack it out on their backrdquo

Hunters who have never butchered a moose caribou or Dall sheep should talk to expe-rienced hunters who have or check out a video produced by

the Alaska Department of Fish and Game entitled ldquoField Care of Big Gamerdquo which takes them through the process of butcher-ing a moose step by step

Not only will it save you a ticket yoursquoll probably bring home more meat

ldquoAn inexperienced hunter may not know where the ten-derloin is and they donrsquot want to get into the guts (to get the ribs)rdquo Quist said ldquoIf you take the four quarters and back-straps the reality is yoursquove got 75 percent of the meat They think thatrsquos good enough and itrsquos notrdquo

On a moose waste can add up because the animal is so large A big moose can have more than 100 pounds of neck meat alone and itrsquos not always easy to cut off Hunters also need to take care when remov-ing the hindquarters

Troopers Cut it close when it comes to meat salvageCLEAN CUT

Hunters must salvage all edible meat off all big game animals in Alaska except for fall black bears and grizzly bears as well as small game birds That includes

bull All of the neck meatbull All of the brisket ie chest meatbull All of the meat of the ribsbull Front quarters as far as the distal joint of the kneebull Hindquarters as far as the distal joint of the hockbull All of the meat along the backbone between the

front and hindquarters ie backstrap and tenderloins

ldquoWhere people leave it is cutting the neck meat and hindquarters offrdquo Dahlke said ldquoThey donrsquot trim the neck real well and they donrsquot trim closely along the hips and backbonerdquo

If possible Dahlke advises hunters to take the entire neck bone out with them

ldquoTake it home where you can clean it up in the kitchen or garage and donrsquot have to worry about bugsrdquo he said

Itrsquos rare that hunters leave behind a whole carcass but it happens

ldquoWhere wersquoll find wanton waste cases a lot of times is when we have shoot through cases on caribou or mooserdquo Dahlke said referring to what happens when a bullet passes through one animal and hits another standing behind it ldquoThe hunter panics and says lsquoWhat do I do nowrsquo and they salvage the one they shot at and leave the other one Thatrsquos where we find our worst waste cases They leave the whole animal behindrdquo

In the event of a shoot through or any violation for that matter Dahlke said the best thing a hunter can do is notify troopers of the mistake

ldquoJust call usrdquo Dahlke said ldquoWe tell every hunter that

comes in that we will be more lenient in our sentencing rec-ommendation if they call us and let us know whatrsquos going on and salvage the meat We want to see that meat salvagedrdquo

If troopers do encounter a

hunter in the field who com-mitted a violation they wonrsquot cut them any slack even if the hunter claims he or she planned to report the violation when they got back to town Hunters should contact troopers imme-

diately via cell or satellite phone if they do something wrong

Other common violations

troopers encounter includebull Shooting sub-legal ani-

mals such as a Dall sheep that does not quite have full curl horns or a 48-inch moose in a 50-inch-only area and shooting the wrong sex animal ie a cow moose instead of a bull

bull Failure to validate a har-vest ticket or hunting without a license Hunters must notch their harvest ticket or permit immediately and at the site they killed the animal not back in camp when theyrsquore done butch-ering the animal or at the truck when they get it out of the field Hunters are required to have their licenses and harvest tick-ets and permits in their posses-sion when they are hunting

bull Shooting on from or across the roadway

bull Hunting during a closed season or in a closed area

The hunting regulations in some areas can be confus-ing and hunters need to know where they are hunting Dahlke recommends using a GPS to make sure yoursquore in the spot you think you are

bull Transporting antlers from the field before meat

It doesnrsquot matter whether itrsquos a camp airstrip or trailhead all the meat has to be packed out before the antlers or horns

HARVESTContinued from Page 22

There are a few little things hunters need to remember when it comes to butchering big game in Alaska

Keep it cleanbull You can never have too many blue tarps

Be sure to pack lots of them to put the meat on after it is removed from an animal If for some unfathomable reason you donrsquot have a blue tarp lay some spruce boughs down build a rack with logs to lay the meat on or find some dry grass on which to set the meat Never no matter what place the meat on dirt or sand

bull When skinning an animal peel the hide back as you go to avoid getting hair on the meat You can use the skinned hide as a tarp too but be careful because it can be slippery

bull Tuck a tarp or game bag under the front and back quarters as you prepare to separate them so they fall on that instead of the ground

bull Use quality game bags The heavy cotton bags that resemble giant laundry bags are more expensive than the cheaper cheesecloth-type game bags but itrsquos worth it in the long run They donrsquot rip nearly as easily and they are bigger

bull Keep game bags as clean and blood-free as possible to avoid attracting flies and other bugs

bull Immediately rinse off any rumen bile or urine that gets on the meat

bull Do not puncture any organs such as the

stomach which will taint the meat

Keep it coolbull The quicker you separate the carcass of a

big game animal the better Be prepared with the necessary tools (ie knives game bags tarps) to do the job in the event you shoot an animal Donrsquot let it lay there for 30 minutes while you run back to camp to grab your gear

bull Skin the animal as quickly as possible to cool it down and remove the front and hindquar-ters first to speed the cooling process

bull Do whatever it takes to keep the meat cool ie hang it in the shade stick in water-proof plastic trash compactor bags and stick in the river or lake to cool

bull Never put the meat in plastic bags unless they are submerged in cold water

bull Donrsquot remove meat from the bones unless you have to Boning out meat exposes more meat to the air and itrsquos harder to keep smaller hunks of meat cool and dry when they are piled in a game bag

bull Hang the meat to get it off the ground If there is no way to hang it build something to put it on so itrsquos off the ground

bull Check the meat at least once or twice daily Pull up on the game bags to prevent them from sticking to the meat so a crust begins to form on it Turn the meat if you have it lying on something

Meat mandate Keeping it clean and cool
