The Department of the Interior (DOI) is proposing to roll back Obama-era regulations barring some hunting practices in Alaska allowed by the state, The Hill reported.
The National Park Service (NPS) formally proposed the rule change Monday, publishing the motion in the Federal Register. The new rule would give the states back their authority to regulate hunting within their boundaries, according to The Hill.
Former-President Barack Obama’s administration prohibited certain hunting practices in 2015. In practice, the rule targeted Alaska by outlawing many hunting strategies used by Alaskans and others to hunt the state’s local wildlife. The Obama administration forbid the use of artificial light to hunt black bears near dens, using dogs to hunt black bears, using bait to hunt brown bears, hunting wolves and coyotes during denning season, using motorboats to hunt caribou, and hunting swimming caribou.

Trump Lifts Obama Regs Off Alaska Hunters

A proposal IS NOT a lift. The truth is the Title is the first sentence.
All those regs seem pretty reasonable to me.
ReplyDeleteProbably not if your living in Alaska where you can't just drive to a supermarket. Your life depends on hunting and catching food any way you can. I doubt they even followed the rules set anyway, what are the odds of a DNR officer 40 miles into wooded areas where no one but a single person lives.
DeleteJust like Obama never happened. Go Trump!
ReplyDeleteThose regs are very reasonable.
