The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced that the winter Fortymile Caribou federal subsistence hunt will open on October 27. This hunt is part of BLM’s effort to manage wildlife resources on its public lands. Hunters interested in participating should review the BLM’s regulations and application process, which are available on the agency’s website. The agency manages roughly 245 million acres of public land across 12 western states, including Alaska, and oversees subsistence hunting programs to sustain wildlife populations.
