Do you actually think that 60,000 hunters will come to your area to buy all those permits? Not that many people will come, there's no way.
That really sucks, man, you should e-mail Ted Turner, he may make it another one of his private ranches? It won't be hunting anymore much, but at least the moose wouldn't be slaughtered.

hopefully there is another solution. Turner is an a-hole.

Yeah and the sky is falling! My my lets see you have lost the right to bear arms? The moose population is going to zero because of a hunt?, wolf & bear populations out of control? , no moose can be found along the highways?, the caribou herd below Delta Junction has tanked because of subsistence hunters? and now all we are left with is a waste land?
About the only thing close to the truth is the high bear & wolf populations in those units and they have been under a predator control program the last few years.

Alaska has a good management system. No one person or department makes management decisions. They start with proposals from the public or the state. The proposals go through local Advisory Committees, then The Board of Game or The Board of Fish there they are passed, amended, tabled, or trashed. The next step is the biologist, lawyers, then to the ADFG. It isn't until the bunny huggers, courts, and every other armchair game manager gets involved that things get screwed up. We don't tell other states how to manage their resources so why can't we get that same courtesy.
I was living on the Denali when the Nelchina caribou herd was opened to Tier II. You have to blame that one on the idiots in the 9th. circus court and the Katie Johns decision. If you were ever around mile 80 on opening week of moose season you would have seen swamp buggies lined from half way to Gratias House to the west and to the Susitna bridge to the east. Then you would see rigs unloading air boats for a 1/2 mile each way of the bridge. When you have 200 to 300 hunters in an area that small they are bound to trash a population.
As for bears and wolves check out how many times Fish & Game have gone to court over predator control. Every time the Board of Game institute a new program to thin down a predator population somewhere some bunny hugger organization takes them to court. This not only cost the state money but it gives the wolves and bears another year to kill off some more moose calves.
You can ride a 100 miles and not see a moose in units 13,and 11 below us.The Denali Hwy...
