I didn't make it past the first paragraph.  Alaska has "science-based wildlife management"?!  Give me a break.  The BOG and BOF has ensured for decades that Alaska's wildlife is mis-managed by corrupt, self-serving, redneck, shoot-em-up bozos.  Definitely no science, or rational thought, involved.  Time for the feds to take over all game management in Alaska.  It's beyond the ability of Alaskans to manage Alaskan wildlife.  The BOG and BOF prove this constantly.
