This record does not carry 6 regulations the state has. The declarations below are the record's own words.
kind: cross-references — description: **FEDERAL SUBSISTENCE HUNTS ARE IN A DIFFERENT BOOK AND ARE NOT HERE.** Page 1 of this guide states "For hunts on federal lands, check federal regulations to see if you are eligible to hunt." and the Deer banners on pages 46 and 52 print "Federal restrictions may apply, see pg. 8." A claim of complete Alaska deer coverage from this PDF alone would be false: these rows are the STATE hunts only.
kind: cross-references — description: **Three of the areas these rows name are DEFINED on pages this extraction does not cite, and one of those definitions carries a rule no row here holds.** The Petersburg Management Area (Unit 3, p.48) is described on p.47; the Kodiak Road System Management Area (Unit 8, p.62) on p.61; and the Yakutat Youth Hunt Management Area on p.53, which is where the eligibility for Unit 5A's "One buck Youth hunt only" season actually lives -- "open to deer hunting from Oct 15 - Oct 31 by youth hunters age 10-17, Basic Hunter Education is required. Youth hunters must be accompanied by a licensed resident adult 21 years old or older." **The dates and the bag limit of that hunt are carried here; who may use it is not.** Each cited page prints the pointer.
kind: cross-references — description: **Mule deer and white-tailed deer are HUNTABLE in Alaska and no row here says so.** The Deer banners on pages 42 and 54 print "Mule deer and white-tailed deer may be harvested, see pg. 28 for more information." -- carried above as a rule row -- and page 28 states the terms: Units 1, 5, 11-13, 20 and 25, "no closed season, no harvest ticket/permit required, and no bag limit". Page 142 repeats it as a season line. This extraction is Sitka black-tailed deer, which is what the seven unit tables carry, and is silent on the other two species.
kind: cross-references — description: The PERMIT/HUNT #* codes (HT, RB050, DG005, RG012 ...) are the key by which a hunter obtains the right to use one of these seasons. The footnote on every cited page -- published here as a definition row -- resolves the PREFIX, and points at pages 14-15 for what a harvest ticket, a registration permit, a drawing permit and a Tier II permit each require. Those pages are not read.
kind: cross-references — description: **UNIT 1 AND UNIT 4 ARE THE TWO UNITS WHOSE BOUNDARY DEFINITION IS NOT ON A CITED PAGE, AND THIS EXTRACTION DOES NOT CARRY IT.** Each unit chapter opens on its map page and prints "Unit N: <boundary>" plus a restricted-areas pointer there; for Units 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 that opener is the same page as the Deer block and both are published above. Unit 1's opener is p.41 and Unit 4's is p.51 -- their deer blocks run onto p.42 and p.52. So fourteen of the thirty-four rows here -- Unit 1's eight and Unit 4's six -- name a unit this record does not define, and neither unit's state restricted areas are carried.
kind: map — description: **Every unit's MAP is on a page this extraction does not cite** -- the page-6 Table of Contents starts each unit chapter on its map page (Unit 1:39, 2:45, 3:47, 4:50, 5:53, 6:55, 8:61). The unit BOUNDARY is carried here as text, from the "Unit N:" definition each cited page prints, but the sub-area boundaries a hunter needs to know which side of a line they are standing on are drawn, not written.

Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.
Open the source document → https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/regulations/wildliferegulations/pdfs/regulations_complete.pdf#page=42If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.
Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [restriction='restrict']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [obligation='required', limit_or_quota='bag limit', eligibility='eligibilit']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [obligation='require', tag_check_report='registration']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [restriction='restrict']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
unknowncannot be determined: the gap carries regulation but its description names neither a restriction nor an opportunity in terms this rule can read (kind='map'). Boundary, map and definition gaps land here and belong here — not knowing which unit you are in cuts both ways
unknown5 page boundary/boundaries beside the cited range were never inspected. A table that continues past a citation loses whole rows — the missing rows could be further seasons (under) or the restrictions on the ones published (over), and this is the check five states went OFFLINE for skipping.
underUNDER: the gap names an opportunity, season or allowance the record does not carry [no_such_restriction='no closed season', huntable='HUNTABLE']; the record's silence reads as a prohibition that the source does not state
carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
2026-2027 Alaska Hunting Regulations, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Wildlife Conservation, Issue No. 67, effective July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027; pp.42, 46, 48, 52, 54, 56, 62 (PDF index and printed folio are the same number on every one of them), the "Deer" blocks of the Unit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 hunt tables
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
derived Alaska declares 9 gaps, of which 6 are regulation this compilation does not carry.
cross-references
**FEDERAL SUBSISTENCE HUNTS ARE IN A DIFFERENT BOOK AND ARE NOT HERE.** Page 1 of this guide states "For hunts on federal lands, check federal regulations to see if you are eligible to hunt." and the Deer banners on pages 46 and 52 print "Federal restrictions may apply, see pg. 8." A claim of complete Alaska deer coverage from this PDF alone would be false: these rows are the STATE hunts only.

**Three of the areas these rows name are DEFINED on pages this extraction does not cite, and one of those definitions carries a rule no row here holds.** The Petersburg Management Area (Unit 3, p.48) is described on p.47; the Kodiak Road System Management Area (Unit 8, p.62) on p.61; and the Yakutat Youth Hunt Management Area on p.53, which is where the eligibility for Unit 5A's "One buck Youth hunt only" season actually lives -- "open to deer hunting from Oct 15 - Oct 31 by youth hunters age 10-17, Basic Hunter Education is required. Youth hunters must be accompanied by a licensed resident adult 21 years old or older." **The dates and the bag limit of that hunt are carried here; who may use it is not.** Each cited page prints the pointer.

**Mule deer and white-tailed deer are HUNTABLE in Alaska and no row here says so.** The Deer banners on pages 42 and 54 print "Mule deer and white-tailed deer may be harvested, see pg. 28 for more information." -- carried above as a rule row -- and page 28 states the terms: Units 1, 5, 11-13, 20 and 25, "no closed season, no harvest ticket/permit required, and no bag limit". Page 142 repeats it as a season line. This extraction is Sitka black-tailed deer, which is what the seven unit tables carry, and is silent on the other two species.

The PERMIT/HUNT #* codes (HT, RB050, DG005, RG012 ...) are the key by which a hunter obtains the right to use one of these seasons. The footnote on every cited page -- published here as a definition row -- resolves the PREFIX, and points at pages 14-15 for what a harvest ticket, a registration permit, a drawing permit and a Tier II permit each require. Those pages are not read.

**UNIT 1 AND UNIT 4 ARE THE TWO UNITS WHOSE BOUNDARY DEFINITION IS NOT ON A CITED PAGE, AND THIS EXTRACTION DOES NOT CARRY IT.** Each unit chapter opens on its map page and prints "Unit N: <boundary>" plus a restricted-areas pointer there; for Units 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 that opener is the same page as the Deer block and both are published above. Unit 1's opener is p.41 and Unit 4's is p.51 -- their deer blocks run onto p.42 and p.52. So fourteen of the thirty-four rows here -- Unit 1's eight and Unit 4's six -- name a unit this record does not define, and neither unit's state restricted areas are carried.

The unit BOUNDARY is carried here as text, from the "Unit N:" definition each cited page prints, but the sub-area boundaries a hunter needs to know which side of a line they are standing on are drawn, not written.

other species
Each cited page carries between one and six OTHER species' hunt tables -- black bear, brown/grizzly bear, goat, moose, wolf, wolverine, elk and caribou -- in the same grid, with real dates. Every one of their rows is ruled out individually with the species named. That is real Alaska regulation and this compilation does not carry it.
derived family: scope of the compilation
100.0% of drawn table cells of the seven cited pages -- one unit per (row band x column) cell of the grid the page strokes, with each species banner's instruction cell split into the bullet items it prints -- plus one unit per baseline-clustered line of text outside the table (unit heading, unit boundary definition, restricted-area pointer, hunt-number footnote, photograph caption, running footer). 1 unit is 1 printed cell or 1 printed bullet, NOT 1 pypdf text line
derived: this percentage is over the units named above, on the pages this record cites. It is not a percentage of the state's regulation. The gaps above are what a full percentage would have to count and cannot.
These are not gaps.
The Booklet is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
