Registration permits for “any moose” hunts in the Minto Flats Management Area in Unit 20B (RM775) and “antlerless moose” hunts in the Western Tanana Flats in Unit 20A (RM768) will be issued August 4, 2010.

The general (non-permit) moose hunting season in both areas is restricted to bulls with spiked, forked, or 50 inch antlers.
“Moose numbers remain high enough in these areas to allow for these permit hunts in addition to the general moose hunting season,” said Area Biologist Don Young.

Both hunts are limited registration permit hunts, meaning the hunter must register in person for a permit, and the number of permits are limited. Only Alaska residents qualify for the permits, which will be limited to one per household. The hunter must have a 2010 hunting license in possession.

Permits will be issued beginning at 10:00 am on Wednesday, August 4. All permits are issued on a first come, first served basis. Hunters who have killed a moose anywhere in Alaska after July 1, 2010 are not eligible for these hunts.

For the Minto Flats hunt (RM775; season dates September 1-25), a total of 100 “any moose” permits will be issued as follows: 24 at the Nenana Native Council office at 802 G Street in Nenana, 36 at Lakeview Lodge in Minto, and 40 at the ADF&G office in Fairbanks.
For the Western Tanana Flats hunt (RM768; season dates August 25-February 28), a total of 50 “antlerless moose” permits will be issued, all at the Nenana Native Council Office in Nenana.

Lines will originate outside the doors of the Nenana Native Council Office (north entrance), Minto Lakeview Lodge (main entrance), and the Fairbanks Fish and Game Foreman’s House (located just west of the Creamer’s Farm House behind the main Fish and Game building). Please stay out of Creamer’s Refuge fields so migratory birds will not be disturbed, and fires are prohibited. Individuals must physically maintain their own place in line. Lists of names or numbers will not be honored.

General moose hunting seasons for bull moose with spike, fork, or 50 inch antlers will also be held on the Minto Flats September 11-25 and the Western Tanana Flats September 1-25. Hunters need a license and moose harvest ticket to participate in the general hunts (check the 2010-2011 Hunting Regulations booklet for details).
