Alaska · Deer · 2026-27

This is every Alaska deer season and the day it opens, the whole state at once. A pin turns it into a day-by-day calendar for one game management subunit, with your own tags marked against it.

Alaska deer seasons, 2026-27

Alaska’s 2026-27 deer seasons run August 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, and what is open on a given day depends on the game management subunit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the game management subunit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
