WASHINGTON - In the words of Justice Elena Kagan, an Alaska hunter can now “rev up his hovercraft in search of moose” after the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday unanimously ruled in favor of his bid to use a river on a federal preserve to reach his prey.
The nine-member court sided with hunter John Sturgeon, who park rangers had prevented from riding his hovercraft on a river through territory overseen by the National Park Service to reach remote moose-hunting grounds in the northernmost U.S. state. “But now, we finally resolve it for good by saying that Sturgeon can take his hovercraft out of storage,” said Kagan, the liberal justice who authored the ruling.The court decided that the National Park Service cannot regulate the Nation River in the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve where Sturgeon was stopped in 2007 because it is not “public land” owned by the federal government.
