An Anchorage attorney has filed a lawsuit against the Alaska Board of Game in an attempt to halta moose huntproposed for mobility-impaired people in Anchorage’s Kincaid Park.

And Tuesday, three Anchorage Assembly members plan to introduce an ordinance spurred by the hunt that would require Assembly sign-off to allow hunting on city parklands.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in Anchorage Superior Court, says the moose hunt would violate the Alaska Constitution because it would grant “exclusive or special privileges to hunt and fish for Alaska wildlife to a specific group.”
