The Alaska Board of Game voted Wednesday to allow radio communications for bison hunters, a change that board members told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner would legalize what was likely already a common practice.
A Delta bison permit is the most coveted drawing permit hunt in Alaska. The hunt attracts approximately 15,000 applications each year at $10 apiece and the state issues only about 100 permits, depending on herd size.
The game board is holding a 10-day meeting in Fairbanks to change hunting and trapping regulations in the Alaskan interior.
