Could be worse guys.
Despite violating our Statehood Act in which Alaska was guaranteed in writing by the Feds that we would have management control over fish and game, when "subsistence" came along, the fg Feds "Indian-gave" (excuse the expression....
that very guarantee. We now have to contend with two sets of regulations (Fed and State) on some Fed administered lands (well over half of Alaska). Our governor at the time, Tony "Weasel" Knowles (D) withdrew the law suit, headed for the SC, eventually, and the 10th Circus Court (California) dismissed it "with prejudice", meaning that's it- cannot be resumed ever.
Plus Native regulations some places, but as that is private they can do what they want.
No extra fees involved usually, just PITA, and often, locked out of the activity in certain areas. The feds and state both pretty much rubber stamp anything the Natives want, even if it is putatively "public" land, if they call it "subsistence".
That said, I just ended 8 years of "subsistence" hunting by virtue of where I was living. It was lovely. Hell, one hardly had to read (or folloiw) regulations...........
. Then pretty much only if one is white.
No that is not a racist comment - just a fact of life. Suck it up.
