*A polar bear cub is a bear that is
less than one year old as determined by the number
of growth rings in the post-canine tooth. In the ISR,
a polar bear cub is defined as having a hide
measuring less than 1.5 m from the tip of the nose
to the end of the tail when fresh, and less than 1.8
m when stretched and dried. The holder of a hunting
licence may only hunt polar bear by dog team or on
foot. Ammunition and firearms for a hunt must meet
prescribed requirements. A successful hunter
must provide information on the date and location of
the kill and turn in the lower jaw or undamaged post
canine tooth, evidence of sex and any lip tattoos
and ear tags present. An unsuccessful hunter must
return unused tags immediately after the hunt.
^Non-beneficiaries must receive permission to hunt
polar bear anywhere in the ISR. For more
information, contact the applicable offices in the
ISR.
