House Supports Predator Control in Intensive Game Management Areas

For Immediate Release: April 4, 2000

Juneau -- Tuesday, the Alaska House passed legislation 27-11, in a bi-partisan show of support, that would aid the people of Rural Alaska in stemming the crash of moose and caribou populations in their areas.

Senate Bill 267, sponsored by Pete Kelly would allow hunting predators on the same day a person is airborne only in areas where the Alaska Board of Game has adopted regulations to provide for intensive management of an identified big game prey population by establishing a wolf control program. A valid hunting or trapping license is a permit to take a wolf under the provisions of this subsection, and no other permits would be required.

SB 267 goes to the Governor for signature.
