Crossing CIRI land?

[tboehm]

Just wondering if anyone can share info about crossing CIRI land? Not going to hunt but I tried to call their office but it’s closed due to Covid. There is a ATV trail to get to state land that I would like to hunt.
Appreciate any help.

Not sure if this helps or not, looks like you may need to fill out a permit? There are handy map links on the page below.

Another idea is to check with BLM or State DNR for any easements reserved when the lands were conveyed to CIRI.

So I see CIRI has PDFs of their land on their website... I also see, on OnX maps, that there are tracts labeled "AK Government lands" but also with the owner listed as "Native allotment." Are these areas that would require a similar permit? Some of them are over 400,000 acres.

Allotments are private property.

Allotments are private property.

This was what I thought initially. Several of the parcels I'm referring to are within CUAs, however, which are explicitly open to the public according to an ADF&G official I spoke to. I think OnX may need to clarify their labeling.

CUAs and management areas don't have anything to do with the underlying property ownership. Take Fairbanks Management Area for example - there is public land that is open to hunting and there is private land that is not open. It's up to the hunter to know who owns the land upon which he hunts. For all practical purposes, allotments and native corporation land are private and should be treated as such.

A lot of old trails are RS 2477 compliant and you are allowed to travel them as long as you do not go off of the easement. The Klutina Lake trail was in the news a couple years ago, it is surrounded by Native Land but the trail was there before the land was deeded and so it was "grandfathered" in. You are allowed to travel these corridors all over the state as they are public land.

If you dig around here http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/trails/rs2477/ you should be able to find out if the trail you want to take is RS 2477 compliant.
