Board of Game

What is it?

The Board of Game’s main role is to conserve and develop Alaska’s wildlife resources. This includes establishing open and closed seasons, areas for taking game, setting bag limits, and regulating methods and means. The board is also involved with setting policy and direction for the management of the state’s wildlife resources. The board is charged with making allocative decisions, and the Department of Fish and Game is responsible for management based on those decisions.

Who are they?

The Board of Game consists of seven members serving three-year terms. Members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the legislature
