Hunting Conditions

This permit is valid for the taking of one (1) cow OR calf moose in Unit 14A; or one (1) bull in 14B as specified by the Area Biologist. The department requests that hunters do not shoot a cow that is accompanied by a calf. Moose may only be taken with a 10 or 12-gauge shotgun with slugs, crossbow, or by bow and arrow only. You must have completed basic hunter education to participate in this hunt and if you choose to hunt with bow and arrow or a crossbow you must also have the appropriate weapons certification, in addition the to the hunter education requirement. The department currently has collared moose in the hunt area. It is legal to harvest these animals, however data provided by them is important and the department asks hunters to avoid taking these collared animals. If you do take a moose that has a collar, you must notify the department when and where you took it and you must return the collar to a Fish & Game office.

SEASON: Actual hunt dates will vary based on the time frame you were selected. See your harvest ticket for assigned hunt dates.

HUNT AREA: Hunt areas will be assigned at the time of issuance. Hunt area may be reduced due to department management priorities.

SPECIMEN REQUIREMENT: Lower 5-inch section of jaw.

LAND OWNERSHIP: This is a limited hunt and will occur within the boundaries of GMU 14A and 14B. Much of the area, especially along the roadways is in private ownership. If there is a question about ownership, contact the Mat-Su Borough or DNR Division of Lands. Hunting will not be allowed within the city limits of Palmer or Wasilla - the Palmer-Wasilla Management Area. **GET PERMISSION TO HUNT ON PRIVATE LAND!**
