The Daily Caller: Alaskan hunters are frustrated with the standards put in place in 2015. Many feel that the standards are too invasive and are trampling on the culture and traditions of Alaskans.
“These rules especially hurt rural Alaskans where hunting and fishing for food is not a historical footnote; it is a day to day reality,” Alaska Professional Hunters Association President Sam Rohrer said in a statement after suing the Interior Department over the federal standards in February.
“Alaska is world renowned for its management of fish and game. Biologists from around the world admire and respect our managers; even to the point of traveling to my home Island of Kodiak to learn about bear management principles,” Rohrer added. “These [Obama] rules are a misguided attempt to impose urban values on the most rural state in America.”
