dwhunter: That has got to be it (the locking tag and the waterproof tag are the same thing).

AZWriter: The rules could have easily changed since the 1980s, so that may account for our different experiences. Its no big deal either way...Texan will get all the stuff he needs (one way or another) when he gets his license.

The State has an excellent webpage at www.admin.adfg.state.ak.us and information on regulations and information on lic/tags/harvest tickets can be obtained at 907-267-2137.

And you are right about hunting caribou..it is one of the best hunts in the world.

Well I label everything I ever take on any airplane. I keep a handful of laminated business cards with me all the time for occasions such as described above and if hunting license info etc is also required just put it all in a ziploc and attach it. Your hotel or any number of places should have a copier to make copies of your license.
