[QUOTE="Nomad8961, post: 3083230, member: 108865"] Ok so here is my take on it. I work for a federal gov agency that manages trees and that’s all Il say on that. I know a lot of biologists that have spoken on this and they were originally trying to re establish an ecosystem predator to prey ratio that was more like it would have been pre settlement here in the US. The problem with that is we have so heavily altered the forest and every ecosystem on this continent so the re establishment of a predator is a futile attempt in ecosystem restoration of a predator vs prey hierarchy. Not only that a lot of people that pushed for this were biologist that came from a city and never really experienced the outdoors on a level many outdoorsman have, they got it from literature and real world practical application has many unforeseen circumstances that they either didn’t think about or care about. In general the wolf re introduction started off wrong because many populations that they re introducing in the lower 48 were genetic stock from Canada because we extirpated them from the lower 48, Canadian wolves are bigger eat more and breed faster then those that were originally here. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out they are going to do more damage than good. Couple that with an already stressed and declining moose population across the north east and you all can see where this is going. [/QUOTE]
