ADF&G Bear Bait Station Registration for Spring 2025

(STATEWIDE) –Bear bait stations may be registered 15 days prior to the start of the season. Again this spring, hunters may register bait sites by phone or in person at local Fish and Game offices. If registering by phone, hunters will be emailed or mailed the permit and signs to use bait to take bears. The signs are required to be posted at your station when you go into the field, so plan accordingly. Hunters should call the office nearest the location they intend to bait, and when registering bait stations must verbally agree to the conditions of the permit.

You may not place bait at your site until the season is open and you have received your permit. For more information on using bait or scent lures to take bears please see pages 26 and 27 of the 2024-2025 Alaska Hunting Regulations, also available at hunt.alaska.gov. Most offices are open from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday, and a complete list of offices and phone numbers is available at http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=contacts.main.
