Thanks Lynn Mitchell for pressing this issue.  As you and many others know, the Alaska Board of Trappers and Hunters (AKA Board of Game) has evolved into an extremist vehicle masquerading as a public policy body making rules that  exclusively favor hunters and trappers, dismissing virtually all non consumptive proposals put before it. Proposals for safe trails that you yourself made were strongly opposed by the Alaska Trappers Association (ATA). This  board made up of 7 hunters and trappers quickly defeated yours 7-0. The chair and vice chair both ATA members didn't  even bother to disclose their affiliation.. These proposals address highly visible and rapidly growing trail trapping conflicts. This BOG  is an exclusive little hunting and trapping mafia  serving only the small minority, the 15% who own trapping and hunting licenses. The  majority of Alaskans, the 85%  are stakeholders but remain largely unserved.. Legislature and governor, still tone deaf.
