Attention Federal Subsistence Hunters:
The Unit 13 Federal Subsistence Caribou Hunt is still open to the taking of both cows and bulls. However, hunters are encouraged to take bulls.
The Bureau of Land Management Glennallen Field Office is still issuing Federal Subsistence Permits for Unit 13 to qualified residents during regular business hours. (Please Note: Fairbanks District Office will no longer be issuing Unit 13 federal subsistence permits.) Applicants need to provide three pieces of identification that show proof of rural residency. You need your current State of Alaska Resident Hunting License, your State of Alaska Driver’s License, and a third proof of rural residency that shows your physical address, such as a voters registration card, phone or electric bill. If you have any questions contact the Bureau of Land Management Glennallen Field Office at (907) 822-3217. Learn more>>
Paxson Lake, up to ordinary high water, including its frozen surface, is under State jurisdiction and therefore is CLOSED to federal subsistence. Federal subsistence hunters may not take a caribou that is standing on the frozen surface of Paxson Lake. See Map>>
