Your statement "the state of Alaska owns all fish and wildlife in the state regardless of land ownership unless modified by an act of congress" is correct, Mtnbeer. However, you forgot one act of congress so important to hunters in Alaska. ANILCA. The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act gave a subsistence priority to all lands that act set aside, as well as federal lands that have not been set aside, such as BLM land. Hunting and fishing regs are technically set by the feds on these lands. As long as fish and game pops are healthy, the fed seasons mirror the state's and everyone can hunt and fish. When pops get low, federal seasons will be more restrictive and may limit who can hunt. Interestingly, state regs apply on private property. So inholdings within federal lands, such as native corp land, may be hunted under state regs........if you can legally trespass there.
