Agreed

World of difference between predator control program and sport hunting... but I guess the state can charge more to sell sport hunting licenses to tourists

Hopefully ADF&G is now purged of the likes of Machine Gun Kellyhouse and others who simply wanted to eradicated wolves and used food production for hunters as an excuse. Virtually all of the jerks like him that had control of ADF&G a couple decades or more ago where as racist anti Native as could be, but discovered that if they claimed the purpose of wolf control was to aid Native subsistence hunters that it gave legitimacy to their cause. A lot of Native people bought into it without knowing who and what they were actually snuggling up to.

If ADF&G will stick to controlling wolves (and bears) in places where it affects subsistence hunting, I'm all for it.

I see no point in reducing wolf populations that compete with "sport hunting". (I might agree to reducing sport hunter populations though!) If "sport hunters" don't want to compete with wolves they can hunt in a Safeway, Fred Meyers, or Walmart.

Yes, but in a few and very specific areas where the wolves are exterminating the moose.

This will never end. However, in Canada only Natives are allowed to guide outsiders, and a portion of the money goes to Native organizations. But Polar bears can be hunted in Canada, and this is illegal in Alaska. If I well remember, a few years ago it was something like $9,000 for a polar bear hunt, most of which stayed in Native hands.

I do agree with you about the outsiders hunting in Alaska, since the outfitters mostly are from the lower-48. But we have a few Alaska outfitters, some of which have gotten in big trouble recently for breaking F&G laws (accusations of killing moose to have bears feed on the carcass and hunters to kill the bears). This are accusations of course, so we will have to wait and see
