WASHINGTON—Supreme Court justices on Nov. 5 for a second time wrestled with an Alaskan moose hunter’s claim that the federal government overstepped its authority in banning hovercraft on National Park Service land in the northernmost state.
Hunter John Sturgeon has challenged the government’s power to prevent him from riding his hovercraft on a river through a federal preserve to reach remote moose-hunting grounds. The case concerns exemptions given to some Alaska-based waterways from nationwide regulations.
