The Alaska Hunter Clinics began in 1995 and is a joint effort between the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Hunter Heritage Foundation. The Hunter Clinic series offers Alaskan hunters the opportunity to gain new hunting skills or sharpen existing skills. Clinic topics are selected by Alaska's hunters and have included bear, caribou, moose, sheep, and deer hunting. The most requested topics are field care of big game, survival for hunters, navigation, calling big game, wilderness medicine, rifle marksmanship, and shotgunning skills.
