Officials with the state want to remind Alaskans to be mindful of property as hunting season starts again this fall, according to a dispatch from both the Alaska State and Wildlife Troopers.

The dispatch states that it is the hunter’s responsibility to understand the different regulations in place for different land allotments throughout the state, which include a mix of private, public, federal and Alaska Native property.

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulation handbook, state lands, parts of state parks, most state refuge lands, some military lands and most federal public lands are open to hunting, pending specific restrictions.

To use private property, hunters must get permission from the landowner. Contact the appropriate Native Corporation management office to hunt on Native lands.

For more information, contact the ADF&G at 907-262-9368.
