Alaska Board of Game Announces the Online Availability of the Proposal Book for the 2025/2026 Meeting Cycle

The Alaska Board of Game’s Proposal Book for the 2025/2026 meeting cycle is now available online at https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=gameboard.proposalbook. The book includes proposals seeking changes to hunting and trapping regulations for the Southcentral and Southeast Regions (Game Management Units 1 through 8, 14C and 15.) The book also includes proposals for annual reauthorization of antlerless moose seasons and brown bear tag fee exemptions, statewide.

Proposals have been submitted by members of the public, local fish and game advisory committees, organizations, and the Department of Fish and Game.

The Board of Game (board) is scheduled to address the proposals at the following regulatory meetings:

Southeast Region

The Board of Game and the Department of Fish and Game encourage the interested public to provide comments on any effects the proposed changes would have on your activities and interests to help inform their decision-making process. Detailed information about submitting written comments and presenting oral testimony is provided in the proposal book.

In addition to the proposals published in the book, the board may schedule additional proposed changes to the meeting agendas following the November 1, 2025, deadline for agenda changes requests (ACRs). The board will meet via web-conference following the ACR deadline and any that are accepted by the board will be added to one of the meeting agendas. Please watch for announcements related to the board meetings on the website provided above.

Prior to board meetings, local fish and game advisory committees will meet to formulate recommendations on proposals for the board’s consideration. Advisory committee meetings are public forums and provide additional opportunity for public involvement. More information about advisory committees can be found online at: https://advisory.adfg.alaska.gov. 

Following each board meeting, a detailed summary of the board’s actions on proposals will be provided, which will direct viewers to the audio recordings for the board discussion for each section of proposals.
