Central Southeast moose hunt tally hits 54

It’s halfway through the month-long moose hunting season near Petersburg, Wrangell and Kake and hunters have killed 54 bull moose so far. The season opened September 15 and the first week of hunting saw 35 moose harvested from the islands and mainland in central Southeast Alaska. Seven of those in the first week did not meet the state’s requirements for antler configuration. The harvest during the second week was 19 bull moose, with no illegal animals checked into the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
