Holy cow, AkRes, take a breather. I'm a hunter. I'm not saying hunters shouldn't be represented on such a panel. I'm saying all the public members shouldn't be hunters.  At best hunters represent something like 25% of Alaska's population. But wildlife belongs to every Alaskan, or every American if I'm being completely inclusive. Four hunting guides among 7 "public" members? That's ridiculous. A legitimate panel making recommendations on wildlife law enforcement would include at most one guide and three hunters. The remaining members would represent non-hunters (please note I'm not saying anti-hunters) who, as I explained in the article, are also affected in multiple ways by the state's management and enforcement of hunting and other game-related regulations. I know that concept is difficult to swallow in this state, because the Board of Game, which is a legitimate organization, is packed with hunters and guides and is privately and publicly averse to including a single non-hunter.
