Up here you're not even allowed to bone meat in the field, as there are concerns about wasting meat.
To clarify, don't take this a general regulation. It applies only in certain places and at certain times of the year. It is intended to give a bit more strength to the wanton waste laws. (And who wants to go to the trouble of hunting, killing, cutting, and hauling out their animal only to find that it is inedible afterwards anyway?)
Can't bone it out? Wow! People that dreamed up that law couldn't have been hunters.
That means if I ever get to AK, guess I'll be shooting out the window of the truck! Ooops, probably can't do that either!
Actually it is a good law for hunters - though it may not appear that way on the front side. (See above.)
If anything, Alaska itself is not a very friendly place in many ways, for hunters. Even with modern helps, a lot of hunts are anything but easy/simple. Then again, that part of what people expect.
