I don't think you understand. Trump basically turned it over to the state. He figures it's none of his business.Basically this is Trump letting Alaska decide how to handle their own problems without liberals sticking their noses into it.On 3 April 2017, President Trump signed H.J. Res. 69, a joint U.S. House and Senate resolution nullifying Obama-era regulations banning the use of certain “predator control” hunting methods on the 76.8 million acres of federally-protected national preserves across Alaska.
The repealed restrictions were enacted in 2016 by the Fish and Wildlife Service after years of disputes between the U.S. government and the state of Alaska over the legality of such practices as bear baiting, hunting via aircraft, killing hibernating bears, and “denning” (killing wolves, coyotes, and offspring in their dens) on or near federally protected lands.

In reality, however, most of those practices were already prohibited to sport hunters under Alaska law, and some of them, including hunting coyotes in their dens and killing hibernating bears and cubs, were permitted to subsistence hunters even under the federal regulations.
President Trump Signs Bill Lifting Ban on 'Predator Control' Hunting Practices in Alaska
Sounds to me like a states rights vs federal overreach thing to me.
The key words are "76.8 million acres of federally-protected national preserves". BTW, the people of Alaska didn't buy Alaska - U.S. taxpayers did.
The United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2 million U.S. dollars at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km2). The area went through several administrative changes before becoming organized as a territory on May 11, 1912. It was admitted as the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.[5]

I don't like the hunting of any animals of any kind, but for some crazy reason it seems to have caused them to flourish instead of starve during the winter because of depleted food supplies.
Then let Alaska buy those 76.8 million acres from the federal government - then they can have all the states' rights they want.
The state will enforce poaching laws.
Why did the Federal Government need to stick their nose in it?
Alaska Fish and Game knows much better than a bunch of fat assed urban dwellers who wouldn't last one day alone in Last Frontier State

Exactly. That's what your story says. Those are already against Alaskan state laws.I don't think you understand. Trump basically turned it over to the state.

Poaching laws? You mean like murdering hibernating bears and baby wolf pups in their dens.
Just tell the progressives a hibernating bear is just like a fetus then they will have no problem killing them, hell, they'll probably get the government to pay for it and let all elementary school kids know about it incase they ever want to kill a little bear.
The law rolls back Alaska’s ban on killing the vulnerable bears, along with wolf cubs in dens. It also allows for hunters to target the animals from helicopters.
Hunters in Alaska can now track and kill hibernating bears thanks to a U.S. House and Senate resolution rolling back Obama-era regulations against the practice.
President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on Monday, which rolled back Alaska’s ban on killing the vulnerable bears, along with wolf cubs in dens. It also allows for hunters to target the animals from helicopters.
The Republican-sponsored legislation impacts 76.8 million acres of federally protected national preserves across Alaska.
Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) took to the Senate floor last month to denounce the previous rule that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued in August.
Murkowski called it “bad for Alaska, bad for hunters, bad for our native peoples, bad for America,” and a “direct attack on states’ rights.”
In Sullivan’s argument, the lawmaker said the change was for Alaskans “who value hunting as a deep part of their culture.”
The Humane Society of the United States condemned the rollback.

Kill hibernating bears? Kill wolf cubs in dens? Helicopters? That doesn't sound like hunting to me. It sounds like extermination. Does "fair chase" require too much effort these days?

A person shooting a hibernating bear is no more a hunter than a serial rapist is a ladies' man.
...and I am not an anti-hunter and probably in my lifetime hunted as much or more than any of the RW posers on this forum.

First off, a miserable prick like you doesn't have success hunting...not ever. In my opinion there is nothing "sporting" about any kind of hunting unless your game is able to shoot at you first. With that being said, a "hibernating" bear is no less dangerous because they're not really asleep and can come out of their den in a furious charge. I know a guy who de-dened a black bear in northern Michigan and almost lost his life but for having a pal with him who grabbed a broken branch and clubbed the bruin into submission.
Oh my, still hurting I see.
