Keeping Wild Game
AS 16.05.920 — no one may take or keep game, its parts, or a nest or egg unless the law allows it
Unless the fish and game statutes or regulations permit it, no one may take, possess, transport, sell or buy fish or game, any part of them, or a nest or egg of fish or game.
Who handles this in Alaska: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Alaska directory.
The permits and exceptions are in regulations, not this section. Whether a particular animal may be kept is a question for the state's fish and game officials or a licensed Alaska attorney.
