I think we should title this one, “State Overreach.” Valkenburg conveniently failed to mention that Fish and Wildlife and the Park Service asked for written comment and Held public hearings in many places in Alaska and the Lower 48, proposing some long overdue rule changes. And guess what, the public overwhelmingly supported the changes; including here in AK, bear baiting, killing bears when they're in their den, often with cubs, same day use of aircraft, killing wolves and coyotes when they have pups in the den. Needless to say the overwhelming opinion was of course we want those changes. Combine this broad democratic and geographic support that was wide and deep, with the state's Board Of Game. Zero members on the BOG that aren't hard-core, kill off the Bears and Wolves, Little or no interest in the views of non-hunters or trappers. Allowing a handful of individuals to bait iconic Denali wildlife out of the park and kill them etc. The BOG is extreme even by Alaska standards.
