ADF&G wants at nearly 600 wolves killed this winter, while the Board of Game has targeted nearly 900 wolves through 7 approved aerial killing programs. Coupled with legal hunting and trapping, almost 1/3 of Alaska’s wolf population could be slaughtered this winter. Over 80 sport hunters have applied for aerial gunning permits and nearly 30 have been issued.

The state is killing wolves and bears in order to artificially increase moose and caribou populations. These hunter subsidy programs are clearly for the benefit of rich sportsmen, stated Deatherage. More than 80% of the moose killed in some areas is done by non-resident and non-rural trophy hunters.
