Reason for low ungulate populations

great 8 foot bear

The very first grizz pic isn't a big bear, ears are on top of the head, no crease down the fore head and it still has long hair and a lot of blonde colouring. The last grizz pic( big dark bear ) is a big bear. You can see the crease down he fore head, ears are more towards the outside of the head and it's got short dark hide, all characteristics of a big older bear.

All around great pics

I hate to say it Doug but you live in a region with a predator issue.On the other end its VERY GOOD for business.

Exactly...and considering that most ungulates harvested (non FN) by hunters are male, and ratios don't dip below MOE objectives, can't even compare the two since preds harvest all classes of ungulates, but especially the young which greatly impacts that species recruitment..

hunters harvest animals in their prime for the most part, whereas predators largely take down the old and sick - as well as young.
Hunters also have a serious advantage with optics and the ability to reach out to a 1000m make a kill, not many other predators out there have that range.
if you were to add up hunting, road kill, train kill, and habitat destruction I would think humans win hands down.

You are wrong on the weak and old theory. that has been proven time and time again.
