BTW - in the mid 70's a resident Alaska hunting license was $7. That got
you 1 moose per year, and daily bag & possession limits on most everything
else except Brown & grizzly bear (which are not noted as table fare). As I
recall, the limit on caribou was 6 per DAY.


(From the Minnesota DNR "Moose" License page)
Beginning in 1991, the moose hunt is "once in a lifetime." Licensees from
1991 - 2004 will not be eligible for future moose hunts.

A special moose license application preference lottery has been established
that will allow applicants with at least 10 recorded unsuccessful
applications to participate in a special selection for up to 20 percent of
the available permits. It will be based on DNR records of unsuccessful
applications since 1985. All party members must meet this qualification to
be eligible. Prior to that time, records of unsuccessful applicants were not
kept. Applicants not drawn in the separate selection will be included in the
general license drawing.


One tip from my friend, the moose killer: "Try to shoot your moose near a
road!!! Those suckers are "huge" and take forever to pack out of a swamp."
He got his up in NW MN, sort of by Canada.

Apparently 900lbs is a good size MN bull moose. 1,800 lbs seems to be the
size of Alaska's big bull moose - so in Alaska, maybe wait till he's
crossing a road before you open fire.
