    Millions of $ been spent so far to no avail. Do YOU have the answer? I say trap the last ones and try a captive breeding program. Or kill all the predaters? Including humans?
    So , has anyone on this site ever hunted Koot cariboo? How about you Kootenai H.? Ever seen one? Shot one? Don`t be an asshead kid. You got a million dollars to spend on this? This herd has been declining despite the best efforts.

    I’ve been lucky enough to have seen them at the Salmo pass summit years back. Such a waste when real management is swept aside for emotional ideals. Hopefully this will open some eyes to support the other wildlife in this province, but I’m afraid that self interest and stupidity will prevail over again. When will this madness stop?

    No species is any value unless you can shoot one.
    Just about enough to make me an anti-hunter, and I have hunted for 55 years.
    They walk among us and even have the vote. God help us.

    Okay folks, lets not get out hand here, and be respectful.
    Sawmill, Kootenai, you both have legitimate concerns and posts.
    In the end, it is an unfortunate set of events.
    Lots of money, time and effort spent, and other thing sacrificed to protect this herd, to no avail.
    Yup, sickening to not see results with all that effort, and sickening to know they are gone, and any hope for future
    opportunity to be had one day, if not by us, but future generations.
    No use to beat each other up over it now...imo.

    Look up genetic threshold..they have been extinct for a long time.

    I agree BMI. We have to chill. none of us are not the bad guys here. It's not an ideal situation, but the gov't should make the best of it - learn what can be learned, cut the losses and let's move on with better ideas for the other species here. I believe the LEH was stopped because of pressure from the great US of A. Just like the LEH on grizzlies in these areas. There were enough animals in the area at the time but for whatever reasons, the species cannot survive here now. Who knows, with some new policies, perhaps they can be reintroduced down the road and do better. Too bad though as they are a cool animal and I've run across a few while hunting elk and deer.

    If we had a separate body managing wildlife for the last 30 years, I don't think we would be at this state that we are today.

    It's failed system when no one has the balls to carry out repeated recommendations.
    Hopefully this failure will be the driving force to get things clanged.

    Oh? They don't use the caribou trails anymore?

    Roads with machine packed snow are a lot easier for the wolves to intercept caribou and other ungulates from. If machine packed snow is present up into the alpine, where it wasn't before, wolves are going to have a predatory advantage that they formerly never had.
