(Glennallen) – The bag limit for moose in the Copper Basin Community Subsistence Harvest Hunt (CM300) in Game Management Unit 13C is scheduled to change by emergency order from one bull moose to one bull moose with spike or fork or 50-inch antlers, or antlers with four or more brow tines on at least one side. This change will take effect at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, September 15, 2022.
Prior to the hunt, a quota of 7 bulls not meeting general season antler restrictions was established for the CM300 hunt in Unit 13C based on sustainable harvest principles and current population estimates. The quota has been reached for Unit 13C.
Copper Basin community moose hunters may still hunt in Unit 13C through the end of the regularly scheduled season (September 20); however, all bulls taken must meet state general hunt antler restrictions (spike-fork antlers, or 50-inch antlers, or antlers with four or more brow tines on one side). Community moose hunters are required to follow all established salvage requirements for the community harvest hunts through the end of the season.
Hunters with CM300 permits can still take moose that do not conform to general season antler restrictions in Units 11, 13B, and 13D, however, hunters must have a locking tag in possession to take a moose that does not meet the general season restrictions and the locking tag must be affixed to the moose’s antlers immediately after it is taken.
Community hunters are encouraged to check the Community Subsistence Harvest hunt hotline (822-6789) for information about the status of quotas in other portions of the community hunt area and any additional emergency orders issued. Harvest reporting is required within 24 hours of kill for any moose harvested in the Community Subsistence Harvest hunt. You may call (907) 822-3461 to report your hunt 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the hunting season.
