An Anchorage attorney has filed a lawsuit against the Alaska Board of Game in an attempt to haltAnd Tuesday, three Anchorage Assembly members plan to introduce an ordinance spurred by the hunt that would require Assembly sign-off to allow hunting on city parklands.
The lawsuit asks a the Superior Court to declare the proposed hunt unconstitutional, and for an injunction that would prevent the state from taking steps to implement it.on the agenda to be introduced at Tuesday’s Anchorage Assembly meeting would require that the city parks department not authorize shooting a firearm or a crossbow on city parkland unless “a written plan to mitigate the safety risks” is approved by the assembly.
In March, the Alaska Board of Game approved a proposal from Ira Edwards, of Palmer, that would create a limited moose hunt open only to mobility-impaired hunters for a period in the fall. Hunters would have to be 70% disabled or more, and would need to take a hunter education course. The idea still needs buy-in from the city parks department, which manages Kincaid Park. And the earliest a hunt would happen is the fall of 2024, Edwards said.
Stone Bittner said she was motivated to pursue a legal challenge to the proposed hunt because she sees hunting in Kincaid as incompatible with abundant wildlife she views as a unique and essential part of the Anchorage experience, for both tourists and residents.Stone Bittner said she talked with Department of Fish and Game commissioner Doug Vincent-Lang — they met in person at Kincaid, she said — but he said he wouldn’t stop the hunt from going forward.
