The future of our wildlife management plans.

[GoatGuy]

To get it back on track we need...
-a round table group that is at arms length from government that can make recommendations in the best interest of wildlife.
-wildlife needs to be adequately funded.
-we need to know what we have for wildlife inventory.
-we need to figure out what we want to have for sustainable wildlife populations.
-we need the tools and must be able to take the steps to achieve the set goals that are agreed upon.

The jurisdictions that have done a decent job of managing their wildlife populations have taken these steps.

This is nice to read. Like it a lot!

Interesting, I wonder if there is too much focus on the cougars and not enough on the wolves. The cats turn their eyes from primary to secondary prey and the wolves don't distinguished between the two.

I have looked at wolf vs elk/moose studies to some degree and youtube is full of reports with all that's going on down south, but haven't read much on wolves and deer.

Wonder how all the burns have effected the deer numbers, if we were to focus on the wolves?
I am fully aware on how a Mule deer use the open line of sight for defence , I have been hunting them for 40 years. Still not convinced that it will help them much when you watch the tactical moves that wolves can perform in open country on Elk and Moose.

My hunting partner watched Wolves drive a Mule Deer herd right down to the lake only to circle back up and wait until dark. The next morning there was a clean kill near the lake shore.
How often is this happening with the amount of food that a pack needs?

SO many factors to think about isn't there?

The alternative, and 100% no miss way, would be to show up and learn.

Besides the Cougar study in BC, is there any others studies conducted in the province?
