I've now had two people say that ADF&G is allowing hunts on Prince of Wales Island where you can harvest multiple deer and black bear. I haven't had an opportunity to run it done via ADF&G yet. Anybody know what the deal is. Sounds like fun! (If true....)

Prince of Wales is in Game Management Unit 2. The 2004-5 Regs allow for 2 black bears (no more than 1 can be a "blue" or glacier bear), 4 deer, 1 elk, 5 wolves, and 1 wolverine for big game hunters.

Most places in the state that have both deer and black bear allow multiple harvest of those two, however each unit is different so it is best to check the regs for the area you are hunting.

There is a GMU in the interior that allows for 2 brown bear/grizzly bear, neither of which will count against you if hunting elsewhere that only allows one bear every 4 years.

One Wolverine?I don't want to sound like a pantie wearing liberial,but aren't they endangered.I understand the Wolves can multiply quickly and travel in packs,but Wolverine's(?).I don't think I would kill one just for my respect of their tenaciousness.

Wolverines are not endangered, at least not in Alaska. They have a healthy population and are considered a game animal. Can be trapped or hunted like foxes where fox hunting is allowed. No different really than any of the weasel family.

There's a great line in the James Campbell's 2004 book "Final Frontiersman" about Heimo Korth (who lives much of the year NE of Fort Yukon in the Coleen River territory near the Canadian border). Heimo recouted the time he trapped a wolverine (they're highly prized by furriers) and commenced to skinning it. He said it was just a short while before he began itching crazily as the fleas lept off the wolverine onto him.

The book also says that, unlike foxes--who turn away from the trapper almost as if they're trying to hide, wolverines stare at the trapper with murderous intent, showing their fangs, popping their jaws, etc. They sound ferocious.

I once saw a nature documentry on Wolveries.One scene showed a pack of wolves feeding on a moose carcass.A lone Wolverine approched the carcass and bullied his way in.When the alpha Wolf went to attack the wolverine,he snapped back charged the more than twice his size wolf.The wolf didn't want any part of that,the others put their tails between their legs and bolted.They all assembled at a distance and watched and waited for him to finish his meal.
