Its refreshing to read a thoughtful commentary that tells it like it is, thank you Gov. Knowles for speaking out  on the dreadful performance of our current politicians, Board of Game and predator killers at ADF&G.  Sadly, the stewardship of Alaska's great wildlife has regressed to that of the mid-1800's in the lower 48.  Perhaps Alaska should modify its motto to read: "The Last Frontier of Backward Thinking." How did our wildlife stewardship get so bad? It was Frank Murkowski who stacked the Board of Game with special interest hunters, and guides, Sarah Palin who called for a bounty on wolves, Sean Parnell who sued the Federal government losing many times, and Bill Walker who has failed miserably to lead in protecting Denali wolves from a shameful slaughter. Its time for Alaska citizens to wake up and elect political leaders who will finally deal with our wildlife scandal. Vote For Wildlife this fall.
