Hillside Hunt

[Kusko]

Did you guys and gals see that they want to try and have a hillside hunt out/in of Anchorage for moose?

It seems they might limit it to muzzleloaders and shotguns. Also, they want it to be for cows, calves and yearling bulls. They want to leave the more mature, photogenic bulls be.

Personally, I think this is B.S. considering they already have a near in town hunt on Ft. Rich. That hunt is for any animal, regardless of size and is restricted to bowhunters and muzzleloaders.

They are so worried about what the huggers think that I doubt this will ever happen. They also need to consider the moose itself and it's well being. I'm sure I'm not the only one here or there that thinks a moose is better off being taken cleanly with a firearm than starving to death or being hit by a car.

Now, I know they had TV reports of moose with arrows in them, but, now, technology is better, hunters are better educated and hopefully, the general public sees the problem.
