I thought I read somewhere that in Alaska, subsistence hunters can give their feathers and parts to researchers with a permit to collect things like that. Perhaps it's changed. I may go re-read the regulations on that.Desertdarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278605779690559082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294909900531294769.post-60964760862529966512012-06-13T22:13:36.118-08:002012-06-13T22:13:36.118-08:00thanks for the reply!

It is weird that the government tells us to waste something though.Nuna Inuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223337844864431367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294909900531294769.post-62675519302899366422012-06-13T20:24:12.749-08:002012-06-13T20:24:12.749-08:00It's hard following or even knowing all the ru...It's hard following or even knowing all the rules sometimes.<br /><br /> I don't know why you can't use feathers for personal use. I can see why you can't sell them because it might encourage people who aren't allowed to subsistence hunt to illegally hunt or collect these bird parts to sell and say they got them from a legal subsistence hunter. And, one of the reasons why many birds almost went extinct was the feather and collections trade. People might hunt the birds illegally for parts and then blame the declines on subsistence hunting just like you mentioned about the other animals. The government would then make more rules about selling and paperwork.<br /><br />I do think the laws should be more consistent and less complicated and enforce those rules for everyone equally.Desertdarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278605779690559082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294909900531294769.post-23328295692387458142012-06-13T10:25:58.640-08:002012-06-13T10:25:58.640-08:00Thanks for reading my post and for the response! ...Thanks for reading my post and for the response! I actually went to school to become a marine biologist, in hopes that I couple work for the government, so I know what type of people are involved. But I do wish the bigger papers would have actually finished the story till the end. Instead of leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth.Nuna Inuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223337844864431367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294909900531294769.post-68466068031503511172012-06-13T09:52:42.482-08:002012-06-13T09:52:42.482-08:00That's fascinating.

Not that Native hunters are all bad, or that subsistence practices need to go away, but that there were a couple of "rogues" or bad apples who'd done something awful. Thanks for sharing so that I know the full story.<br />I tend to be on the other side of this equation, the Fish and Game side, because my husband is a biologist (not with F&G) and we have friends who work/have worked for F&G. So I don't think that what they do is bad, and many of them are hunters themselves who think that the regulations just for regular hunters are pretty stupid and arcane. But I didn't realize that you had to jump through so many hoops just for your food. Thank you for helping me to be better informed.SisterX_83https://www.blogger.com/profile/03159006386821530156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294909900531294769.post-5479082287355509092012-06-12T14:39:21.176-08:002012-06-12T14:39:21.176-08:00I won't do Google +1 just to indicate I Like a...I won't do Google +1 just to indicate I Like a post.<br /><br />But I did like this post.TenMilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766184262656744054noreply@blogger.com
