[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 591546, member: 505"] I agree the predation problem is bigger and I do not agree with the way they are handling this sport vs. commercial debate. They have made it where it looks to be lose-lose instead of win-win. I believe there is a solution but it is being handled and approached the wrong way from the beginning. If you noticed all the numbers started dropping when all the push went to protecting this and that predator years ago. The problem humans can not understand is that the preservationists can not have it the way it was before we were here in large numbers. An ecosystem produces so much biomass for consumption by predators which includes us. The question is do we want to feed predators or humans. Down here now we have a tremendous wolf problem from introduced wolves that are protected and killed out elk herds down to nothing. Now all that food many of us here in the west depended on in cow elk tags is not available. That is a significant strain on many here. And this was brought on them by people who do not live here and may or may not visit. They have no idea the way of life here. Just want to enforce there ill will and uneducated opinions on others. Please don't get me started. People who live it and work it like you see it first hand. It can not be seen from afar or only from a government office. [/QUOTE]
