A proposal to allow for a moose hunt in Anchorage’s Kincaid Park will not move forward after a state legal analysis found the hunt would violate Alaska’s constitution.
a proposal brought by a Palmer man to allow a limited number of people with physical disabilities to hunt for antlerless moose at Kincaid, a busy 1,400-acre park just south of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The hunt would have been during a roughly two-week period in October.
Ira Edwards, the Palmer man who proposed the Kincaid hunt, called the Department of Law decision “disappointing and incorrect” in an e-mail Tuesday. He pointed to youth-only hunts as an example of a situation where the state allows hunting for a specific group. “I find it hard to believe that this recent letter is not related when there is already a long-standing precedent in statute and regulation for hunts that grant exclusive or special privileges to take fish and wildlife,” Edwards wrote.The Department of Law analysis doesn’t necessarily mean the proposal is dead, said Rick Green, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
