Tangle Lakes refuge

[paulneva]

In case you missed it last Sunday, the Board of Game wants to turn the area north of the Denail highway from Paxon to the Maclaren into a game refuge. Their request was sent to the Governor. I sent this to her:

MESSAGE: According to the "News-Miner," the Board of Game has requested that the
Amphitheater Mountains be made a "wildlife refuge." Please don't. I am
neither a miner nor a hunter. I do frequently use that area for winter
recreation. There is no need to turn the Amphitheater Mountains into a
wildlife refuge. To do so would almost certainly curtail all other uses.
The board of game is being narrow and parochial.

If you want to chime in, write her through her website.
