The state’s Board of Game has unanimously voted down a proposal — brought forward by the Juneau Douglas Advisory Committee — that would have required young hunters in Southeast to complete an education course before hunting alone.
Kevin Maier is the committee’s chair. He told KRBD the idea started with a committee member who volunteers as a hunter education instructor. The committee wrote in their proposal that they hoped it would reduce firearm accidents in the field. The committee also wrote that online options could go a long way in making the course more available to remote communities.
“But we also recognize that there are some concerns for accessibility,” he explained. “And I think there’s also some interesting sort of cultural issues too, you know, like, I think in villages, you learn different ways, and you learn through different different methods, and we don’t intend or want to undo those or or undercut those in any way.”
He said the state’s Department of Fish and Game already has a hunter education program, with eight staffers and 500 volunteers. But that might not be enough to meet the demand that the requirement would cause — especially for communities off the road system, where travel is expensive and weather-dependent much of the year.
