Yes, the IM law requires the Department to establish moose population objectives and the BOG approves.  In most cases, unrealistically high population objectives have been set that are unsustainable.  This is what one can expect from a BOG that is entirely hunters and hunting guides and a Department that is addicted to hunting license revenues.  The result is predictable: endless killing of bears and wolves while moose objectives are seldom reached.  And this is at a cost of over $ 1 million per year, and at a greater cost to keeping Alaska's wild ecosystems healthy.  We are allowing ourselves to be bamboozled by an inherently corrupt system that favors about 14% of the Alaskans that hunt, and its not even working for them.  Its time to "repeal, and replace" the IM law with a wildlife conservation policy that is scientifically based, preserves ecosystem health, and respects democratic principles.
