To qualify, individuals must have lived in Alaska for the past 12 months with a primary residence in Cooper Landing, Moose Pass, or Hope. Individuals with seasonal residences in any of these communities do not qualify as rural residents. Individuals who claim residence in another location for any purpose are not eligible to receive a permit.

Hope | Bear Creek Lodge | Tuesday, July 21, 2026

Moose Pass | Moose Pass Sportsman’s Club | Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Hunters will need to bring several items to verify their eligibility, including their State of Alaska hunting license, State of Alaska driver’s license, and verification of primary physical address, if not listed on the driver’s license. Acceptable forms of address verification include State of Alaska voter registration, a lease or rental agreement, tax documents, utility bill, or an address listed on a State of Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend application.

Memorial for Jack Harris

Please join us to celebrate the life of Jack Harris.

Where- Cooper Landing Community Hall 

When-  Wednesday July 15th from 4 to 7pm

He wasn’t one for flowery words or unnecessary fuss. He could be stubborn, opinionated, and never hesitated to tell you exactly what he thought. He wore his gruff exterior proudly, but those lucky enough to know him also knew his quiet generosity, sharp wit, unwavering loyalty, and the big heart hidden beneath it all.

He leaves behind a lifetime of stories, laughter, lessons, and memories that will continue to make us smile. While we’ll miss his unique way of keeping everyone on their toes, we’ll remember him with love—and probably hear his voice reminding us we did something wrong.

Please join family and friends to share stories, laughter, and memories as we honor a life that was lived on his own terms.

In lieu of tears, bring your favorite story about him.
