Ronald T. West, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Board of Game, and McKie Campbell

Summary

The court held that Alaska's constitutional sustained-yield clause and intensive-management statute require the Board of Game to apply sustained-yield principles when adopting predator-control plans for wolves and bears. It nevertheless upheld the 2006 plans because the challengers failed to show that the Board's application of those principles lacked a reasonable basis or violated either authority. The court also upheld the denial of attorney's fees because West was not a prevailing party.
