If you're a non-res you just have to decide if the hide is part of your goal. If you're spending more on the tag does it matter to you to bring back a hide, or is just the meat enough?

Don’t forget the skull! , too!

I think AK has priced black bears over the fair market price, short of the SE trophy areas.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

You are so right. The skull always comes back with me. Something so amazing about those teeth, especially on an old rugged bear.

He would be required to take the skull, at least to the Sealer. Not sure after that........

Salvage for black bears
Meat: In all areas of the state during
Jan 1-May 31, edible meat must be salvaged
and removed from the field. This meat may
not be used for pet food or bait.
In Units 19A, 19D upstream from the Selatna
and Black River drainages, 21B, 21C, 21D,
24, and 25D, the edible meat of black bears,
taken under customary and traditional use
activities at a den site, must be salvaged.
The hide and skull may not be transported
from the field until the edible meat has been
salvaged.
Skull AND Hide or Skull AND Meat: In
Units 1-7, 14A, 14C, 15-17, and 20B, the
skull must be salvaged and removed from
the field year round for sealing; during
June 1-Dec 31, either the hide with claws
attached (for sealing) or the meat must also
be salvaged and removed from the field.
If salvaging the meat, the hide and/or skull
may not be transported from the field until
the edible meat has been salvaged.

Ye, you're right and I am aware of that. ADFG takes their tooth and tissue samples plus the measurements. By after that it's up to you. I love cleaning mine and putting them up on the shelf.
