There have been many changes in the hunting world over the past 50 years or so, especially in Alaska. Some good and some not so good. I arrived in Anchorage in February 1965 and bought my first resident hunting license in February 1966. It cost $7. I could harvest 1 polar bear, 1 brown bear, 3 black bears, 1 Dall sheep, 2 mountain goats, 1 moose, 3 caribou and 5 black tailed deer each year. No drawings and no tags just general open hunting seasons. The hunting regulations booklet was about 4 x 5 inches in size with about 50 pages. In 1982 it expanded to a 5 ¼ x 8 ¼ booklet with 80 pages. Today it is an 8 x 10 booklet with 144 pages. That’s a lot of regulations.
