Message:

*The Federal Subsistence Board (FSB) determines which communities in Alaska have customarily and traditionally taken a wildlife population or fish stock. Customary and traditional use determinations are listed along with seasons and harvest limits in each wildlife management unit, or fishery or shellfish management area in the 1995-96 Subsistence Management Regulations booklet.

*If there is no customary or traditional use determination for a wildlife population or fish stock, then all rural Alaska residents are eligible for use of these stocks or populations. A “no determination” means open to all rural Alaska residents.

*In south-central and southeastern Alaska, a federally qualified subsistence user may designate another federally qualified subsistence user to take “deer” on his or her behalf unless the recipient is a member of a community operating under a community harvest system. A federal permit, as well as a completed harvest report are required.

*The “designated hunter” may hunt for any number of recipients, but may have no more than two harvest limits in possession at any one time.
