This discussion that Mr Sinnott's excellent piece has gennerated is important. It's important because it sheds light on the overarching problem of Alaskan wildlife policy being totally controled by a very narrow segment of our citizens. The comments this piece has unleashed are an insight into how a small group representing a nerrow segment of the population has gained almost complete control over wildlife decisions.  Wildlife is supposed to  be managed for all citizens. These comments give readers a glimpse of how a small group of vocal and agenda driven individuals has managed to get a monopoly on wildlife decisions here in Alaska. I'm not saying Hunters and trappers shouldn't be represented on the Board of Game but why is it that 85% of Alaskans Who don't hunt or trap are completely shut out. The make up of the Board of Game is exactly the opposite of  what the present Alaskan demographics are and what the constitution outlines.
