I have always wanted to move to alaska and was woundering if anyone knew any thing about the cat hunting there or if there are even coons there? what a bout running bear there I know that you cant tree griz or browns but what are the laws on black bear? thx gary

I may be wrong but I think its illegal to hunt with dogs in Alaska.

You can run dogs in AK on Blk Bear. If you ever go there and look at the country it, you would see that it would be near impossible. No roads, horrifically thick brush and brown bears that eat dogs.

thx guys I havve alwys wanted to get a lynx thought maybe that it would be fun to get one in alaska I dont know what I am going to do I was planing on moveing there next spring but if I cant hunt my dogs I dont know what to do

The only things you can legally run in Alaska are Black bear and snowshoe rabbits. The bear hunting is awesome, and you'll be the only one doing it. I have an old air force buddy in Arkansas who comes up every year, and came twice last year to train his hounds. Both dogs he sent up this summer did real well, and when they got back to Arkansas the coon hunting was like chasing a frisbee on a golf course - real easy for them. He's got photos on the UKC big game site, look for grizzlymike's alaska trip photos, see if you like the ground.
