Reminder of New Reporting Requirements for Black Bear Hunters in Unit 6D

(Cordova)- Registration permits for black bear hunting in Game Management Unit 6D, RL065, are available online at hunt.alaska.gov, or at ADFG offices in person in Anchorage, Cordova, Fairbanks, Glennallen, Palmer, and Soldotna. Hunters are reminded that the reporting requirement for RL065, is now “within 3 days of kill.” Successful hunters must report within three days in person at any ADF&G office or by phone (907-424-3215). Hunters may also call 907-424-3215 with preliminary reports that provide their name, hunt area, date of kill, and the sex of the black bear. This information can also be provided by satellite communication such as an inReach device to Samantha.renner@alaska.gov.

Black bear hunting in Unit 6D remains a very popular activity with consistent hunting opportunity. As technology improves, it has become easier to get good in-season hunt data. Better and more timely communication will help ensure future hunting opportunity.
