Good to see the Senate tackling the tough issues before taking their six week Easter recess

See how important voting is. Without a Republican majority people in Alaska wouldn’t be able to shoot wolves from a Copter.

These rules were some of those last minute regulations the Obama Administration never bothered to run past Congress. Not sure whether they even went into effect yet. It was a power grab from the state’s right to control hunting and fishing in Alaska and the state was getting ready to challenge it in court. Cancelling them saved everyone money.

I'm hunting mine mano a mano with a large Bowie knife. I know it sounds crazy but I've worked out all of the details out in my head. I can do this.

The Senate is worthless so it is better that they are out of town and can do no more harm to the country.

Question to all:
I’m not a hunter though members of my family are (overpopulation deer and feral pigs).

Is the use of traps (which to me are extremely cruel), baiting (mixed opinions on this method) and shooting game from a helicopter really “hunting” instead of the old find, stalk and kill mercifully?

Would like to hear from hunters on this. Thanks.

Oh, are Grizzlies an over-population animal in the Alaskan refuges and a thinning of the population a healthy practice?

When the debt limit comes up in a few weeks they will say you have to increase it because we are out of time because we spent our time voting on Grizzly bear scat

I bought a lifetime bag of bay leaves at a market, cheaper than the bottle of 10 or whatever leaves at the grocery store.

The bill was for controlled hunting, to lower the population or remove dangerous specimens. I looked it up when Facebook blew up over it earlier this week.
