Thank you Frank Keim. The claims of sweeping federal takeover of wildlife management on Alaska refuges are absurd as you state. Federal refuges are to be managed for their natural biodiversity, not as wild game hunting farms that promote ungulates and destroy the predators that keep the overall population in balance. The US Fish & Wildlife Service are guilty only of waiting too long, 36 years, to manage for the intended diversity. Of special note is the Memorandum of Understanding of 1982, renewed 2006, signed by the USFWS and the Alaska Department of Fish & Game agreeing that these federal  refuges are to be managed for natural diversity. Natural diversity does not mean slaughtering the bears and wolves industrial scale from helicopters and fixed wing ADFG and privately permitted assassins under the Intensive Management Act abuses promulgated by the Alaska Board of Game (AKA the Alaska  Board of Hunters and Trappers), a relic of the past and a true embarrassment to Alaska.
