In terms of hunting licenses that may be unique to Alaska compared to the lower-49 states?
1) Free hunting license for residents age 60 and up.
Alaska has no length of residency requirement...you could move here at age 58
and have free hunting license and most tags at age 60.
2) Proxy hunting. Alaska residents who are 65 years of age or older, are physically disabled, or who are developmentally disabled, or blind may have another Alaska resident hunt or fish for them.
3) Lesser value species. A non-resident can legally take a species of lesser value on your tag.
So for example if your hunting moose with your $800 non-resident tag, you could legally harvest a caribou or goat or black bear since they have less value tags ($600 for caribou or goat, $450 for black bear).
4) Youth sheep hunt. A 5-day youth sheep hunt Aug 1-5, prior to the regular season (Aug10-20).
5) Free tags for residents for sheep, goats, caribou, moose, black bears, grizzly bear in some units.
