Hunter Nation Praises Department of Interior for Unleashing Hunters on Frontlines of Conservation in Nation's Parks

The Department of the Interior aims to restore state hunting rules in Alaska preserves, undoing recent federal restrictions to simplify compliance and honor subsistence priorities.

  • The U.S. Department of the Interior proposed a rule to restore state-aligned hunting regulations within Alaska, aiming to minimize federal restrictions and support subsistence hunters.
  • The proposal would rescind restrictive hunting changes from 2017 and 2024, reverting to the framework established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
  • Specific changes include reinstating bear baiting and predator control for wolves and coyotes, while eliminating 2017 permit requirements for gathering berries, mushrooms, and animal parts.
  • Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated the rule "restores balance" by honoring ANILCA’s commitments, aligning federal oversight with state law, proponents say supporting subsistence hunters.
  • Published in the Federal Register, the proposal remains open for public comment until April 9, offering stakeholders a window to address the shift toward state-controlled management.
