Owsichek v. State, Guide Licensing and Control Board
Alaska Supreme Court
763 P.2d 488 (1988)
- Written by Sheryl McGrath, JD
Facts
Certain Alaska statutes gave authority to the state to grant exclusive access to specific hunting areas, called exclusive guide areas, to professional hunting guides. If the state granted an exclusive guide area to a particular hunting guide, the guide had a monopoly in the area. Others could hunt recreationally in the area, but no other professional guides could lead hunts in the area. Hunting guide Kenneth Owsichek (plaintiff) applied to be the designated guide in two exclusive guide areas. The state (defendant) denied Owsichek’s application because Owsichek had no proof that he had contracted to lead hunts in the areas for any two of the preceding five years. Owsichek appealed.
