Dur- ing this apparently long season, however, the bear are in hiberna- tion approximately six months. The Its Own Policy Revised regulations under the Al- aska Game Law recently promul- ed by Secretary of Arthur M. Hyde, effective July 1, 1932, will provide an additional | measure of protection for the large brown bears of Alaska. This will; be accomplished by extending the griculture, | areas coming under the limitation on season and bag limit consist of portions of the mainland totaling 39,000 squaré miles and 1,245 square miles of the most thickly populat- ed bear range on the North side of Kodiak Island, also all of the islands of Hinchinbrook, Montague, |Hawkins, Yacobi and Shuyak. “In 22,516 square miles, or 23 per cent. of the total range of these areas in which a resident of the |pears, nonresidents may hunt dur- Territory is limited to an pag of two animals and by grant-| ing complete protection for these| bears on Afognak Island. The several varieties of the big| brown bears of Alaska are the larg- est carnivores of the continent and| for many years these animals have been much sought as trophies by big game hunters throughout the world. Protection Is Given The following statement regard- ing the protection of these bears has been made by the Alaska Game ! Commission through its Executive Officer, H. W. Terhune, of Juneau, Alaska, the Representative of the Bureau of Biological Survey on the Commission: “During the past few years and particularly during the last year much has been written about the| big brown bears of Alaska by con-| servationists and sportsmen who| have visited the Territory for com- paratively short periods. Many of | the articles regarding the life his-| tory and habits of the bears are of | great interest and value to students o fnature while others-appear to have been more or less sensational or in the nature of propaganda. The Alaska Game Commission considers that the Alaskan brown bears have had sufficient protection during re- cent seasons and are not in any danger of extermination, but inj view of the fact that so much at- tention has been focused on these unique animals during the past| year and to give them the benefit | of any possible doubt the Commis- sion recommended the added pro- tection afforded these bears by '.hel new regulations. | “To correct the many unauthoriz- | ed statements that have nppearedv regarding the measure of protection| now being afforded these noble ani- \ mals throughout the estimated 96,- 363 square miles of coastal lands and islands comprising their range, the following information and fig- ures have been compiled from the regulations and official records of the Alaska Game Commission: Large Sanctuary Area “Areas where large brown bears' have complete protection consist of | 8,534 square miles, or 9 per cent. of the total range, and include Glacier Bay and Katmai National Monuments, Unimak Island, which annual | ing the same open season while residents are permitted to hunt the year round although both classes of hunters are limited to a seasonal bag of two. This portion of the range includes 17,160 square miles of mainland and the islands of Ad- miralty, Baranof and Chichagof. “In 21,840 square miles of main- land and 2,565 square miles of Ko- diak Island, norvesidents may hunt large brown bears under the same seasonal and bag limitations while residents are restricted by neither bag limitations nor close season. This area comprises 25 per cent. of the total range of the big brown bear. Guides Are Required “A nonresident hunting large |brown or grizzly bears is required to be accompanied by a registered guide. In areas where a resident is limited either by seasonal or bag limit, or by both, he is permitted to kill a bear in defense of life or property. “No person may take large brown bears with the aid or use of a dog, a set gun of any description, a stee]l bear trap having a spread of more than nine inches or by poison in any form. The sale of the skins of these animals is prohibited un- der the Alaska Game Law and Reg- ulations. “Various estimates have been published a sto the number of brown bears in Alaska, the majority of these having been made by per- sons who have spent a comparative- ly short time in the Territory and who have undoubtedly based their findings on observations over a small portion of the animals’ to- tal range. Considering both the recorded legal kill and a liberal es- imate of the unrecorded legal and |illegal kill, the Commission finds that the annual kill of these bears is well within the average normal annual increase to be expected from the most conservative estimates of their numbers in the Territory. Un- biased observers familiar with con- ditions throughout the total range state that the bear population is with minor exceptions well dis- tributed. “In view of the ract that much is yet to be done in the scientific classification of the several varie- ties of the brown bears of Alaska, it is not at present practicable to lies within the Aleutian Island kes- ervation, Afognak Island and four smaller areas. Although hunting state definitely the exact range of many forms. “By reason of its formldnb\e size porrrin R LR PR L TR L e L TyTRENEEE FREE!
