 SENATOR MILLER announced  SB 325  (TAKING OF ANTLERLESS MOOSE) to be     e    
 up for consideration.                                                         
                                                                               
 LARRY HOLMES, Chairman, Anchorage, Fish and Game Advisory                     
 Committee, said the taking of antlerless moose is a very volatile             
 issue in a number of communities and he didn't think it was right             
 to take it out of the Advisory Committee's hands.                             
                                                                               
 PATRICK WRIGHT, Anchorage resident, opposed SB 325, because the               
 current statute offers an excellent system of checks and balances             
 when considering antlerless moose seasons.  Department of Fish and            
 Game biologists must show there are biologically sound reasons for            
 remanding an antlerless moose hunt.  This must also be approved by            
 the local Fish and Game Advisory Committees.
