JUNEAU-Hunters who participated in the Haines moose hunt and who did not check out of the area should do so immediately, the Dept. of Fish and Game advised Tuesday.
Terms of the Haines moose hunt permit specify that hunters who do not check out may not apply for any permit hunts in Southeast Alaska next year. Failure to check out is also a misdemeanor and violators are liable to prosecution.
Dave Johnson, area game biologist, noted that 480 hunters checked in for the Haines hunt, but only 322 had checked out as of Tuesday.
Johnson urged those 158 hunters who have not complied with permit terms to contact Mike Roscovious at the Dept. of Public Safety office in Haines, or the regional office of the Dept. of Fish and Game at 210 Ferry Way in Juneau.
