Thank you Tony Knowles for providing a valuable perspective on the stewardship of our great wildlife and the wildlands that sustain us all. Your comparison of the Permanent Fund to our wildlife is an important point to consider.  While the Permanent Fund has a responsible board of trustees guiding its success, unfortunately the same is not true for our Board of Game which represents only hunters, trappers and guides.  Governor Walker has failed to restore balance to the Game Board. Meanwhile, ADF&G, under political influence is wasting money on predator control that is ineffective and ecologically damaging.  Walker and his administration have failed miserably in dealing with the baiting and killing of Denali wolves and bears in the Stampede area.  This issue must be dealt with in a responsible manner: protect wolves and bears from the Park on the merits alone, not by some political land trade scheme that would destroy the integrity of our wildlands elsewhere.
