State
law provides for disabled veterans to receive free hunting and fishing
licenses (AS 16.05.341) and for licensed resident hunters to take moose,
caribou, or deer by proxy for residents who are blind, 70 percent disabled,
or over 65 years of age (AS 16.05.405).
The Alaska
Board and Game has adopted regulations allowing hunters with a 70 percent
disability to obtain a permit to take a big game from a boat in Game
Management Units 1-5 and to shoot game from a motorized vehicle within
the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge (portions of GMUs 7 and 15).
The department
has published the Alaska Sport Fishing Guide, which includes maps and
describes sport fishing opportunities around the state. The guide lists
sites with handicapped access and may be purchased for $9.50 from the
department's Division and Sport Fish. Another helpful publication is
the Alaska Wildlife Viewing Guide, which describes some barrier-free
wildlife viewing areas and recreational facilities. This soft cover
book is available in most book stores or from the publisher, Falcon
Press of Helena, Montana. A guide to Charter Boat Services for People
with Physical Disabilities is available for $2.00 by calling (907) 337-2629,
or Challenge Alaska at (907) 563-2658.
