The Federal Subsistence Board is the decision-making body that oversees the Federal Subsistence Management Program. It is made up of the regional directors of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the U.S. Forest Service, and there are three public members appointed by the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture: two represent rural subsistence users and one is the Federal Subsistence Board chairman. The Secretaries have delegated the authority to manage fish and wildlife for subsistence uses on Federal public lands and waters in Alaska to the Federal Subsistence Board.

Let's hear BHA' s take on this one......

“This closure is an extreme disappointment and goes beyond what is called for by the caribou management plan, even at the current management level of ‘preservative declining.’ This closure will have no measurable effect on herd abundance and is very unlikely to affect caribou migration,” the Alaska Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers said in a statement. “The problem of the declining numbers in the caribou herd and shifts in migration patterns are not caused by non-local hunters, and this motion will do nothing to address the driving factors of decline and availability of the resource to subsistence users.”
The unilateral and closed-door nature of the decision greatly frustrated those seeking mutually agreeable solutions.
“We advocate for a more open public process that does not allow the Federal Subsistence Board to remain insulated from public comment and we will advocate for solutions to wildlife management issues that are based in sound science,” AK BHA stated.

Typical response I was expecting. Let's see what they do now to advocate for us hunters after their "voting for" agenda has been compromised..
