What is not clear from this article is whether the hunts took place in the park or in the preserve portions of Wrangell-St, Elias National Park and Preserve.  The article states:  "The lodge was permitted to provide sport hunting guide services within the park."  This is incorrect.  Sport hunting is allowed by law within the preserve portion of the unit - provided it is conducted in compliance with state and federal laws - including those laws pertaining to guided hunts.  It is not allowed in the park portion of the unit.  If the hunts occurred in the park or if they were conducted using illegal practices, then those involved should be prosecuted in full accordance with both state and federal law. In the future ADN writers need to be more careful about how they report these type of incidents.
