Re: Brown Bear /Grizzly bear hunts. Anyone been on one

I wouldn't mind that one bit, except it would be illegal for me to take you, if you wanted to shoot.

Non-Residents (more than twice removed kindred) must retain the services of a guide (licensed to practice in AK) for brown and grizzly bear, Dall sheep, or mountain goats.

All aliens (anyone that is not a citizen of the U.S.) must retain the services of a guide for any big game hunting in Alaska. Least I think that's how it goes.

http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/hunt_trap/hunting/guide.cfm

A nonresident who hunts brown/grizzly bear, Dall sheep, or mountain goat must be personally accompanied by a licensed guide OR by an Alaska resident over 19 years of age who is within the “second degree of kindred.”
“Second degree of kindred” means a father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, spouse, grandparent, grandchild, brother- or sister-in-law, son- or daughter-in-law, father- or mother-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepsister, stepbrother, stepson, or stepdaughter (5 AAC 92.990).
A nonresident alien must be personally accompanied by a licensed guide to hunt ANY big game animal, including black bear, brown/grizzly bear, bison, caribou, Dall sheep, deer, elk, moose, mountain goat, muskox, wolf*, and wolverine.
*A tag is NOT required for hunting wolves in GMUs 13, 16, 19, and 20.

Definitions:
Resident means (A) a person (including an alien) who is physically present in Alaska with the intent to remain indefinitely and make a home here, has maintained that person's domicile in Alaska for the 12 consecutive months immediately preceding an application for a license, and is not claiming residency or obtaining benefits under a claim of residency in another state, territory, or country; (B) a member of the military service or U.S. Coast Guard who has been stationed in Alaska for the 12 consecutive months immediately preceding an application for a license; or (C) a dependent of a resident member of the military service or U.S. Coast Guard who has lived in Alaska for the 12 consecutive months immediately preceding an application for a license. A person who does not otherwise qualify as a resident may not qualify by virtue of an interest in an Alaska business.
Nonresident means a person who is not a resident of Alaska.

Nonresident Alien means a person who is not a citizen of the United States and whose permanent place of abode is not in the United States.
