Someday The Dispatch will require these ADF&F or Game Board types to stop repeating the untruth --without giving us the language of the law or the citation -- that the Alaska Lands Act gave the State management of wildlife in Refuges.  Just the opposite. In several places, particularly sec. 1314 it says there is no change in federal  or state authority.  The existing law, strongly supported by the courts, make the US Fish and Wildlife Service responsible.  The FWS is permitted in Section 304 to make agreements and give access to ADF&G access, but only for Refuge purposes.   FWS would prefer state management of resident species. But the point is the  State rules have become so radical they violate the Refuge purpose, for wildlife populations in their natural diversity. (Section 302 -305).  Suppressing predators to expand prey is not "natural diversity" and violates the law.
