The most common species hunted include moose and brown bear. Please keep in mind that many areas within the preserve are private land. Do not enter private land without the landowner's permission. There are many factors applicable to season dates as well as residency requirements for species such as caribou. Regulations specific to Katmai National Preserve can be found under Game Management Unit (GMU)-9. Hunting and trapping within Katmai National Preserve requires extensive planning.
