The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has produced the following videos to celebrate the wonder and value of Alaska's wildlife and Alaska's hunting and trapping heritage.
Alaska's Fur Heritage
Join former Governor Jay Hammond in exploring the early history of Alaska with rich illustrations from University of Alaska and museum archives. Dramatic paintings, photographs and films bring you in touch with early exploration and development of the Alaskan fur trade in the 1740s through its importance during the Great Depression to Alaska's struggle for Statehood in 1959.
Compelling interviews with Alaska Native elders, wildlife biologists, local fur buyers, skin sewers and trappers convey the complex values held by individual Alaskans regarding Alaska's fur heritage and its importance today.

Field Care of Big Game Meat
The best way to learn to field dress big game is to help an experienced hunter with an animal. It is also good to review the steps to field dressing before the hunt. If you have never field dressed a moose or other large-bodied game animal you should purchase a copy of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Field Care of Big Game instructional video. This video will show you a step-by-step method to field dress a moose, no matter how or where the animal has fallen.
Field Care of Big Game is required viewing for unguided nonresident moose and caribou hunters in Game Management Unit 19B.

Sharing Alaska's Trails
Produced by the Alaska Trappers Association this video promotes trapping-awareness. Many of Alaska's communites can be found adjacent to prime wildlife habitat. Trappers are drawn to these areas, as are dog walkers, snowmachine riders and hikers. Sometimes pets roam freely into these areas and can become caught in traps.
The video doesn't show dogs caught in traps. It doesn't promote trapping, but deals with the practicalities of sharing the trails and educating all users of what to look for on traplines. Various types of traps are discussed and suggestions given on how to assist a pet if necessary.
