I'd like to interject myself into this.

Alaska has a number 4, which I belong to, residents over 60, or 62 I forget
which, receive a free lifetime hunting/fishing/trapping license, with
drawings/stamps for some things.

On number 3 there certain species, either because of their aggressiveness, or
the terrain where they live, require a resident guide to hunt.  Which is not a
problem since almost all non-resident hunters either hire a guide or know
someone living there and hunt with them.

On number 1 I'm not sure the "band leaders" is applicable to Alaska.  The
various groupings are actually Native Corporations with shareholders.  Meaning
there's no reservations, etcetera, unlike the lower-48 that's not the way
things were set up.
