FWS Recommendations
Made at Game Hearing
Holgar Larsen and other Fish
and Wildlife officials have re
turned from the annual game
hearing held in Juneau from Feb
ruary 16 to February 25.
Larson reported that the rec
ommended bow and arrow hunt
ing was turned down at the hear
ing as was the recommended “no
second season” of moose hunting
in the Valley. Larson said of
ficials reasoned that the second
season was necessary to take care
of the older bulls that remain in
the higher areas during the ear
lier season. Local sportsmen had
joined in recommending there be
no second season this year.
Indications were that recom
mendations pertaining to salmon
fishing in the coming season will
probably be accepted, Larson
said. These would include two
fish per day on sport gear, taken
in streams and two days per week
net fishing in salt water. There
would probably be other reser
vations but until the recommen
dations are accepted, and the
books completed Larson said
nothing is certain.
Commercial fishing regulations
in book form, for the forthrorry
ing season, should arrive withil,
two weeks, Larson said. However,
