Eight members, most of them strongly in favor of gun rights, were elected to the Anchorage Fish and Game Advisory Committee on Tuesday night, an election that brought an overflow crowd to vote at Anchorage School District headquarters.
Lawyer Kneeland Taylor, an unsuccessful candidate, said the election became a test of wills between clashing interest groups -- essentially consumptive and nonconsumptive users. Each side e-mailed and handed out paper reminders Monday night listing their slate of preferred candidates.
"It (the vote) had nothing to do with anything," Taylor said. "It had nothing to do with hunting. It had nothing to do with predator control. It had to do with who was on the slate written down by the (Anchorage) Second Amendment Task Force."
The group strongly supports gun rights.
On the other side, the Alaska Wildlife Alliance tried to rally supporters on Tuesday morning by sending out an e-mail alert.
The turnout of 530 voters was the biggest for an Anchorage advisory committee election in at least 10 years, according to Sherry Wright, the Southcentral advisory committee coordinator for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Thank you 500+ voters for gun rights. Anti-gun slobs deserve to and will lose.
LOL
THe greenies lost and how they whine....
DId remind me of that famous line in “MASH”
“Thier ringer spotted our ringer”.....
We had a local bd meet here. One of the local greenies of late wanted to have both sides of the road restricted from atv access.Ya know where you got your bull? If this joker had his way, be a long hike to get meat out. I don’t think it will ever happen though. This same joker road hunts him self when caribou come thru. I wonder why people just don’t leave things be.
You’ve got greenies up there????!!! Man....
They’d certainly have an exception for themselves when it comes to atv access though, they’re more socially enlightened or something like that.
Hope all is well. Cold up here with the wind lately, -35 and windchills pushing -75.
We had 4 days last week, minus 50, minus 60; but it’s around minus 20 now.regular heatwave.
Anytime it warms up 30 degrees it feels warm, doesn’t it?
Do you get a lot of wind there?
