"Aerial hunting of these predators from helicopters and airplanes I know, sounds like an inhumane way to kill them, but up here it's the most cost effective and safest way, for hunters, to do this. These predators were so over populated they were threatening children and people working up here."

There has always been a law in Alaska providng for the aerial taking of wolves and other overpopulated predators from the air, by special permit only. The permittees are usually ADF&G approved management specialists. To the best of my knowledge, sport hunters must wait 24 hours between their arrival at the hunt and their actual hunting if they fly in. I don't believe sport hunters may take animals from a flying plane or helicopter.

I’m sure you’re right. I can’t imagine letting your average hunter, let alone those idiots that come up to Idaho and Alaska from California shoot from the air. They’re notorious for shooting their partners out of trees and kids waiting at bus stops...
