Temporary Moose Hunting Restrictions to Stay in Force in Alaska

摘要

The federal government can impose a two-year ban on caribou and moose hunting by non-residents and residents of non-rural areas in Alaska, a judge ruled in a loss for the state.There was substantial evidence to support the Federal Subsistence Board’s decision, and the board explained its change in position after rejecting a similar proposal in 2019, according tothe U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska. The board’s actions didn’t conflict with the state’s authority, and it didn’t impose the closure for longer than necessary, the court said.
