Thorne Bay and Craig Districts Ranger, Matt Anderson, under authority delegated by the Federal Subsistence Board, closed the Federal public lands of Unit 2 to the harvest of wolf from 11:59 P.M., Tuesday, December 18, 2018 until 11:59 P.M., March 31, 2019. Subsequent to that closure persistent storms have prevented trappers from safely collecting their trapping equipment from the field. Although the closure date remains in effect, in a news release issued on December 18, 2018 Ranger Matt Anderson extended the period during which trappers may collect gear from the field until 11:59 p.m. Friday, December 21, 2018.
On December 13, 2018 the Alaska Department of Fish and Game issued an Emergency Order closing the hunting and trapping seasons for wolf in Unit 2 at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, December 18, 2018. However, in recognition of the stormy weather and concern for the safety of trappers, on Tuesday, December 18, 2018 the ADF&G issued a new emergency order (EO 1-23-18) closing the hunting and trapping seasons for wolf in Unit 2 at 11:59 p.m. Friday, December 21, 2018. Emergency Order 1-23-18 supersedes Emergency Order 1-22-18.
