Alaska residents who hunt in Game Management Unit 22 are reminded that new caribou hunting regulations go into effect next month. Beginning July 1, 2016, the new regulations incorporate several significant changes including a requirement that residents hunting caribou in GMU 22 possess a registration hunting permit. Permits for registration caribou hunt RC800 will be available beginning June 15, and may be obtained online, in person at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game office in Nome, or from license vendors within Unit 22.
The RC800 permit hunt is part of a new regulations package for GMU 22 adopted by the Alaska Board of Game in March. The new regulations, which apply to Alaska resident hunters only, also eliminate a bull harvest closure instituted in 2015, establish an annual bag limit of 20 caribou (five caribou per day, calves may not be taken), and require RC800 permit holders to submit hunt reports within 15 days of taking the legal bag limit or within 15 days of the close of the season.
