ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The National Park Service improperly banned an Alaska moose hunter from using a hovercraft on a river through a national preserve, the US Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a unanimous decision.

The court limited the National Park Service’s authority to enforce laws and regulations on state-owned rivers in Alaska. Justices rejected the agency’s argument that the river was “public land” for regulatory authority and that the agency’s water rights interest gave it rule-making authority.

The outcome was a victory for moose hunter John Sturgeon of Anchorage, who had sued and lost in lower court rulings.

“We reverse the decision below and wish Sturgeon good hunting,” Justice Elena Kagan said in reading a summary of the decision

Next trip up there, plaintiff Sturgeon should buy as many Moose tags as legally permissible, bring along a Mini-G in .35 Whelen (loaded up with an 8-rd en bloc clip, with another eight clips on his belt), and have at it from a rested position on his hover craft.

Haul the carcasses down river on a small barge behind the craft. Skin 'em later.

Yeah, he'll disembark somewhere, at which point the AK locals will go all zombified - eyes 'a popping, jaws 'a dropping - but hey, ... that's high-tech moose culling at its best.

Yer just an idiot.

but slightly amusing.
I'd love to see twin Winchester B.sA.R type rifles mounted on a tripod on top of a hover craft.

That would be one. (Not counting proxy hunting.)
