Has the state of Alaska reset the brown bear seasons or will the normal odd year/even year season resume?

The odd/even - fall/spring bear season is not statewide. In unit 9 it is the state's way of limiting the take of brown bears without having to go to a drawing system like unit 8 on Kodiak.

But next year there will be a one time spring bear hunt in unit 9 and a fall hunt because the spring 2020 hunt was closed to non-residents

And on top of that we have spring season again in 2022 in Unit 9,, 3 in a row!
