WHAT’S NEW IN 2011?Changes to Regulations This YearThe more restrictive bag limit for Canada geese has been removed in Game Management Units (Unit) 9A, B, C and E, Unit 10 (Unimak Island portion), Unit 17 and Unit 18. In these units hunters may now take any combination of 6 dark geese. Dark geese include cackling geese (small Canada geese), Canada geese, and white-fronted geese. Possession limits remain at twice the daily bag limit. Unit 9D and the remainder of Unit 10 remain unchanged, resulting in an alignment of bag limits throughout Units 9 and 10. See page 35 for details.

Federal Migratory Bird Subsistence Regulations

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has published federal regulations governing traditional spring and summer subsistence hunting of migratory birds in Alaska. The regulations allow permanent residents of designated harvest areas to hunt certain species of migratory birds during specified open seasons. For more information, contact U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Migratory Bird Comanagement Council: (877) 229-2344 or online at: http://alaska.fws.gov/ambcc/Regulations.htm

Need a Waterfowl Hunting Guide ?All waterfowl hunting guides operating in Alaska are required to register with ADF&G before guiding clients. If you would like a list of registered waterfowl guides, view or download the current list at: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/hunting/waterfowlhunting/pdfs/wfguides.pdf or contact the Waterfowl Program at 267-2159. ADF&G does not recommend or vouch for any specific guides or businesses.

LICENSE AND TAG REQUIREMENTSResident Hunters All Alaska residents age 16 or older must possess a hunting license to hunt in Alaska and must carry it while hunting. Resident hunters 60 years old or older may obtain a free, permanent identification card issued by the Department. This card replaces the sport fishing, hunting, and trapping licenses. Disabled veterans qualified under AS 16.05.341 may receive a free hunting license. Residents with an annual family income below $8,200 (before taxes) may buy a $5.00 low-income license.

Nonresident and Alien Hunters All nonresident and alien hunters, regardless of age, must possess the appropriate hunting license. Nonresidents may buy a small game license for $20.00.

Nonresident Military Personnel Members of the military service on active duty who are permanently stationed in the state, and their dependents who are living in the state, and are not yet Alaska residents under AS 16.05.940(24), may buy special nonresident military licenses for $25.00.

State and Federal Duck Stamps All waterfowl hunters 16 years of age or older must a have current federal Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp ($15.00). An Alaska Waterfowl Conservation Stamp ($5.00) is also required unless you: • are an Alaska resident under the age of 16; • are an Alaska resident 60 years old or older; • are a disabled veteran eligible for a free license; or • qualify for a low income license.State and Federal stamps must be signed in ink and must be carried at all times while hunting waterfowl. Stamps need not be attached to a hunting license. State and federal stamps are not required when hunting only snipe and sandhill cranes.

Proof of HIP Enrollment Migratory bird hunters required to enroll in HIP must carry proof of enrollment while hunting – the serial number on the back of state duck stamps is the HIP number.

Youth Hunter Education Requirement In Units 7, 13, 14, 15, and 20: • If you are 16 or older and born after January 1, 1986, you

must complete Basic Hunter Education before hunting. • If you are under 16, you must either complete Basic Hunter

Education or hunt under the direct supervision of a hunter who has completed the course or was born on or before January 1, 1986.

HIP ENROLLMENT FOR 2011Most migratory bird hunters are required to enroll in the nationwide Harvest Information Program (HIP).If you are exempt from the state duck stamp requirement you do not need to enroll in HIP. HIP enrollment is easy when you buy your hunting license and state duck stamp.

1. Complete a HIP form at a license vendor (takes about 1 minute). or

Enroll on the Internet when you buy a license and state duck stamp with a credit card (5-7 minutes).

2. You will be asked to provide: • Your name, address, and date of birth • Approximate numbers of birds you harvested last year.

3. Leave your HIP form with the license vendor.

Prior to hunting, you must sign the face of your stamp in ink, but it does not need to be attached to your license. The serial number of your state duck stamp is proof that you enrolled in HIP—you must have this when you hunt.

Hunters selected for the national harvest survey will receive a personal letter and hunting record form to keep track of birds they harvest. A more detailed questionnaire will be sent later to record hunting effort and harvest during this season. Survey responses are used only for estimating hunter activity and harvest.

For More HIP Information Call (907) 267-2159 during business hours, or leave a message. This telephone number is only for questions and not for HIP registration.

ILLEGAL METHODS OF TAKING GAMEGame means any species of bird, reptile and mammal, including a feral domestic animal, found or introduced in the state, except domestic birds and mammals (AS 16.05.940(18)).The following restrictions apply to the taking of waterfowl, snipe and cranes. Refer to current Alaska State Hunting Regulations for descriptions of illegal methods of taking other types of game.

You May NOT:• Hunt with a rifle, pistol, or a shotgun larger than 10-gauge.• Hunt with a shotgun capable of holding more than three shells

(magazines must be “plugged” to hold two shells). • Hunt with shot other than federally-approved nontoxic shot.• Have lead shot in personal possession while hunting.• Hunt with shot sizes larger than T (0.20” diameter).• Shoot on, from, or across the drivable surface of any constructed

road or highway.• Use poison or a substance that temporarily incapacitates wildlife

to kill any game species without written permission from the Board of Game, or with the use of an Electronic Control Device (ECD) Taser-type device that temporarily incapacitates game, except under a permit issued by the Department.

• Use a helicopter to hunt; transport hunters, hunting gear, game meat or trophies, or equipment used to pursue or retrieve game.

• Take game from motorized vehicles on land, except under provisions for disabled persons in state and federal regulations.

• Take game from a motor driven boat if the motor is running or if the boat is still moving because of the motor. You may use the motor to retrieve a dead or injured bird.

• Drive, herd, molest or harass game with any motorized vehicle.• Use a machine gun or set gun.• Use a crossbow in any restricted weapons hunt that authorizes

taking by bow and arrow.• Use a pit, fire, artificial light, laser sight, electronic night vision

scope, radio communication, cellular or satellite telephone, artificial salt lick, explosive, expanding gas arrow, bomb, smoke, or chemical (excluding scent lures).

7

FIELD POSSESSIONYou may not possess or transport more than the daily bag limit while in the field, or while returning from the field to your vehicle, camp, etc. (50 CFR 20.35). You may retain up to stated possession limits of migratory birds in camps, primary residences, principal means of transportation (automobile), processing facilities, post offices, and common carriers. It is illegal to possess live birds without a permit; wounded birds must be killed immediately. Waterfowl may be plucked in the field but one fully feathered wing or the head must remain attached to allow species identification during transport.

SALVAGE OF MEAT You must salvage all the edible meat of game birds for human consumption; this is defined as the meat of the breast.

USE OF GAME You may not buy, sell, or barter game meat.

MARKED OR TAGGED GAMEAnimals marked, tagged, or collared for scientific studies are legal game. However, if you take a marked animal, you must notify either the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (907-267-2159) or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (see below).

Reporting Banded Birds Is Easy!You can furnish valuable data on the origin, movements, and ages of ducks and geese. You may keep the bands and you will receive a certificate showing the date and location each bird was originally banded. Please call or use the Internet:

ADDITIONAL FEDERAL REGULATIONSIn addition to state regulations, certain federal regulations (50 CFR 20) apply to migratory bird hunting. For complete federal hunting rules, contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Law Enforcement, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503 (907) 786-3311.No person shall take migratory game birds: • With a trap, net, fishhook, swivel gun, punt gun, or battery gun.• From a sink box providing concealment below the water. • By the use or aid of live decoys. • Using recordings of migratory birdcalls or electrically amplified

imitations of birdcalls.• By baiting or on areas reasonably known to be baited. Areas are

considered baited for ten days after bait is gone.

Possession and Tagging Migratory birds must be tagged before being left at any place other than the hunter’s residence or placed in the custody of another person for any purpose. Tags must show the number and kind of birds, date killed, and address and signature of the hunter.

Transportation and Shipment All migratory game birds being transported in the United States must have a head or one fully feathered wing attached until they reach the possessor’s home or a preservation facility. Packages containing migratory game birds or parts that are shipped by post or common carrier must be marked on the outside with the name and address of both the sender and recipient, and the number of birds, by species, in the package.

Import/ExportCheck both specific export limits of other countries and import limits for the United States. One fully feathered wing must remain attached to all migratory game birds being imported or exported until they reach one’s home or a preservation facility. No person may import migratory birds belonging to another person.

13

NONTOXIC SHOT: The Solution to Lead PoisoningNontoxic shot is required for hunting waterfowl, sandhill cranes, and snipe in Alaska. It is a violation to have shells loaded with lead shot in personal possession while hunting migratory birds. Shot sizes larger than T (0.20” diameter) are prohibited. Nontoxic shot also is required for muzzleloading shotguns. Current federally approved nontoxic shot types include: steel, bismuth-tin, tungsten-iron, tungsten-bronze, tungsten polymer, tungsten matrix, tungsten-tin-bismuth, TNI (HEVI-METAL), and TINT (HEVI-SHOT). Steel remains the most widely used and extensively tested nontoxic shot in the field. A complete list of approved nontoxic shot is available at http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/nontoxic.htm

If you intend to hunt on private land, always ask permission of the owner and

respect your privileges.

14

SHOOTING STEEL SHOTThere are two major differences between steel and lead shot: steel is LIGHTER and ROUNDER than lead shot. These characteristics affect both the energy for penetrating birds and the size of the downrange shot string needed to intercept birds.

STEEL IS LIGHTER . . . USE A LARGER SHOT SIZESteel pellets weigh about one-third less than lead pellets of the same size. To compensate for weight differences and improve downrange energy, use steel shot one or two sizes larger than the old lead load. The chart “Proven Steel Shot Loads for Waterfowl & Upland Game Birds” shows both typical effective ranges for various shot sizes and the desired patterning performance for taking different sizes of birds. The chart can be found at http://www.hunter-ed.com/ak/course/ch2_steel_shot.htm

STEEL IS ROUNDER . . .USE A MORE OPEN CHOKESoft lead shot is deformed during firing and passage through the barrel, forming longer and wider shot strings of irregular pellets. Steel shot manufacturing produces pellets that are more round than lead. The iron used in “steel” shot is about three times harder than lead pellets (but softer than gun barrels), so it does not deform when fired or when it strikes birds. Steel’s more aerodynamic shape delivers better pattern density and penetration, but shot strings are shorter and narrower than with lead loads. More open chokes such as Improved Cylinder and Modified will enlarge patterns and lengthen shot strings to provide more margin of error in elevation aim and trigger timing.

SHOOTING HOURSMigratory bird hunting is permitted from one-half hour before sunrise until sunset. The following tables (based on U.S. Weather Bureau data) are exact shooting times, starting on Alaska Daylight Time and changing to Alaska Standard Time on the first Sunday in November (November 6, 2011). Shooting times differ by latitude and longitude, and change daily.

If you are not at one of the listed locations, you may estimate times by adding 4 minutes for each degree of longitude West, or subtract 4 minutes for each degree of longitude East of the nearest listed location. Example: if you are in Kotzebue, you are 3 degrees east of the nearest location, Nome. Your shooting will begin and end 12 minutes (3 degrees x 4 minutes) before the times listed for Nome.

See pages 34 and 35 for footnotes. Footnotes have important information about restrictions to bag limits.
