Was just having supper with the inlaws and they where disgusted to hear that new laws in Alaska allow for hunting hibernating bears. I didn't get too involved in the conversation because, well....let's just say because lol....anyhow, what is the point of this? Do people really want to crawl into bear dens and shoot sleeping yogis?

It's like shooting Deer at the zoo. That's sickening for any jurisdiction to allow that.

F'n stupid
It's the Antis putting their BS spin on things again.
Obumbles took control of environmental management of National parks and federal land from the state of Alaska.
Trump gave it back.
As part of the management process, removing problem bears from human dense areas near national parks by killing them in their dens was practiced by the Alaskan government prior to losing control of their resources to Obama.
The Antis will have you believe this is a blood thirsty hunt and a common occurrence. It's not.

Read a number of accounts of guys 100 years ago, wiggling into bear dens to shoot them with pistols. Apparently some got sporty when the bears weren't that sleepy.
Most people haven't seen many bear dens, it's not somewhere I really want to try to sneak into, surprisingly large bears get into surprisingly small dens and then dig themselves in.
But yeah, this is not something that hunters are tripping over themselves to do. It's anti BS

Subsistence hunters would probably be the main ones to harvest animals this way, its not the same as sport hunting. Like shooting swimming moose, subsistence hunters I know up north have no issue shooting them in the water, it actually makes the job easier to get them back to the community.
Say a reality TV show from up north, Alaska I assume, a young homesteading couple shot a bear in the den for their winter meat, I saw no issue with it. And they were white.

Just fill the holes and wait...
There are poachers who do it to the Collared Bears.
They figure out the radio frequency and home in on the sleeping Bears and Bingo Bango.
That scenario was from a number of years back....
Some people just have to much time on their hands if in fact this is a game law in the making.

it was done in the old time in Russia:
they used dogs to find dens then light some torches to create some smoke then pour the smoke in, waited outside with with big pitchs and forks (no firearms with powders in those days) ...
latter it was never done anymore at least legally and i never heard the hunters in Slovenija doing it: they respected too much the animal for that.
