Bear-baiting application period open now

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is now accepting applications for hunters wanting a prime black bear baiting site.

Applications started coming in on March 1, and the filing period will last through April 12. The next day there will be a random drawing for the spots at the Refuge HQ, and hunters must be present to win.

Any remaining bait sites and permits will go to hunters not present at the drawing on a first-come-first-served basis.

Black bear baiting permits are issued for exclusive one-square-mile areas within that portion of the Refuge open to black bear baiting. The permits are issued for the harvest only of a black bear over bait. All bait stations, whether on or off the Refuge, must be registered with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
