If you are the lucky buyer of this permit, you are one of the few hunters to possess a brown bear drawing permit for Unimak Island in Game Management Unit 10. Unimak Island is as far west as brown bears (and several other species including, wolf and wolverine) can be found. The management objective for brown bear hunting on Unimak Island is to keep hunter numbers low to ensure a high quality wilderness experience with a reasonable chance for selective hunting. A non-resident locking tag for wolves is not required. Land along the eastern shore of the island is owned by the Isanotski Native Corporation, and permission for hunting on this private land should be sought from the Corporation. The rest of Unimak Island is federal land open to public hunting and managed as wilderness by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. You are required to check in (in person or by phone) with Izembek National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Cold Bay (P.O.Box 127, Cold Bay, AK 99571; Ph. (907) 532-2445). They can provide more detailed information on the island, allowable means of access, etc.
There are no public use cabins on Unimak, and the extreme weather (high winds, rain, and cool temperatures) requires the best of camping equipment and clothing. If you get a bear, it can be sealed by the refuge staff in Cold Bay, or elsewhere in the state.
