*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 and polar bear hunting boundaries are complex. For more information, contact the applicable offices in the ISR before starting to hunt.
