Gov. Sean Parnell has appointed a Nenana man who has made a living by trapping, hunting, fishing and guiding to the Alaska Board of Game. Nathan Turner was appointed Monday to the seven-member board in charge of regulating the harvest of game species.
Parnell selected Turner after the Legislature last month failed to confirm Al Barrette of Fairbanks -- a trapper and fur tanner -- after concerns were raised that he would favor hunters over all other user groups, regardless of scientific data and public sentiment.
Parnell says he's sure that Turner will make a balanced contribution to the board.
Turner will have to be confirmed by the Legislature.
