so they want to open a can of worms eh.... It is funny that no one brings up Alaska and their predator problems. But, we control predators by hunting. Arial hunting wolves, allowing to bait grizz, we kill can 3 black bears, hell we even had grizzly snaring over bait.
Fact: predators up here eat everything until it is gone and then move to a new area.
Fact: Arial hunting of wolves have brought back moose and caribou populations in areas that were near zero
Fact: once we stop Arial hunting of wolves in those areas they come back and start munching everything again
Fact: The areas that they opened up to 2 grizz per year has help moose populations
Fact: A area i hunt moose has seen a up tick in wolf numbers and I see alot more moose carcasses going to go set bear bait in the spring. I actually have in the past 2 years have gotten wolves on my game cameras at the bait .. I see less of the bigger bulls in the fall.
I went to colorado spring turkey hunting & every area we went to I seen a mountain lion track. Never have i seen so many lion tracks.. Add wolves to the mix and you have a recipe for decimation of the deer & elk.
