The Airgun Sporting Association Welcomes Alaska to the List of States Which Allow Airgun Hunting for Big Game

May 5, 2022 By Tom McHale

HELENA, MT (April 29, 2022) – The Airgun Sporting Association, the trade organization of the airgun industry, today announced that Alaska will soon be allowing deer and caribou hunting with airguns.

During their spring meetings, the Alaska Board of Game made the decision to allow caribou and deer (mule and whitetail) to be taken with pre-charged pneumatic airguns (.35 caliber and larger).  This change will take effect on July 1.  The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is currently working on the regulation change.

“We are very excited to add Alaska to the growing list of over 23 states that allow airguns for big game hunting” stated Mitch King, President. “Our goal is to work closely with our industry partners and the state wildlife agencies to develop their proposed regulations, legislative language and airgun safety training programs”.

To join the ASA or to see a map of states which allow airguns for hunting, please visit www.airgunsporting.org and click on the Regulations tab.
