Location: Bethel
Type: Take Caribou Closed Season
Dispatch Text:
The Alaska Wildlife Troopers (AWT) in Bethel are investigating an incident regarding two caribou killed East of Napaskiak. The Mulchatna Caribou Herd has been closed for several years due to low numbers. AWT is dedicated to protecting and growing the Mulchatna Caribou Herd as this is a valuable subsistence resource for the region and hunting them while numbers are low could mean delayed recovery of the herd. If you have information about caribou being taken illegally, please contact Bethel AWT at 907-543-2294. You can also submit an anonymous tip using the tip411 app or on your cell phone: text the keyword AKTIPS, followed by your crime tip to 847411.Posted on 3/26/2026 2:48:01 PM by DPS\kaharrison
