American citizens who aren't residents of Alaska need to have a valid big game hunting license and a special moose tag (good for taking one animal) in order to hunt moose in the state. Nonresident citizens of other countries must have the same, but can only hunt big game (moose included) with a registered Alaska hunting guide. Hunting licenses and tags are available through the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website or by mail.

Check the Alaska Department of Game and Fish website for regulations for the game unit where you are planning your hunt. Contact the appropriate management office before going on the hunt.
