Following in the footsteps of their House colleagues, Senate lawmakers on Tuesday approved a measure to repeal an Obama-era rule that largely banned hunting of Alaskas most iconic predators on more than 76 million federal acres.

The Republican-sponsored legislation would undo the Alaska National Wildlife Refuges Rule , ultimately opening the door for the state to resume aggressive predator control tactics, including shooting bears and wolves from airplanes and killing cubs and pups in their dens.

The Senate passed the resolution by a 52-47 party-line vote . It was adopted last month by the House, so the measure now heads to Trumps desk for final approval.
