So predictable.  Rick is the mouthpiece of the anti-ADFG crowd, primarily since ADFG wouldn't let him be a real biologist, but instead confined him to moose-vehicle and bear-mt. bike rider conflicts in Anchorage.  When you see Rick write something you should instantly think "anti ADFG" and move on to the next thing.  You will not see Rick talk about people in rural Alaska literally starving before ADFG scientists rescued moose and caribou populations after a statutorily-required public process, which were validated by several different superior court judges, but I'm sure he scored brownies points with his crowd for this article.
