Trump Team Moves To Lift Ban On 'Extreme' Hunting Tactics In Alaska

[bullwinkle428]

The Trump administration on Monday proposed rolling back a 2015 rule that bans aggressive predator control tactics in national preserves in Alaska, including shooting bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens ― a move immediately blasted by environmental groups.

The proposal, slated to be published Tuesday in the Federal Register, would amend the National Park Service’s current regulations to again allow for controversial sport hunting and trapping techniques on roughly 20 million acres of federal lands in Alaska. The park service, part of the Department of the Interior, said lifting the prohibitions would increase hunting opportunities on national preserve land, as Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called for in a pair of secretarial orders last year.

The proposed rule would allow hunters to lure brown and black bears with bait, hunt black bears and their cubs using artificial lights, shoot bear cubs and wolf and coyote pups in their dens, and use dogs to hunt black bears. It would also allow hunters to shoot swimming caribou from motorboats.

3. The boys want to go hunting closer to home?

This would be their type of hunting. Where's the sport in shooting cubs and pups in their dens?

Maybe Palin can take them on a tour and show them the tricks of the trade. Boobs!

7. We had a governor in Alaska

That years later when asked about his position on hunting wolves said

"We just can't let nature run wild"

I lived in Alaska for 17 years and believe me the stupid runs deep up there.

For decades the politicians just had to say they wouldn't stop the permanent fund dividend checks from being distributed.

And they got another term, yup, that's all it took......

8. Very sporting

Sick assholes
