    You are making a statement about predators, not answering the question.

    Maybe someone else will chime in.
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    The issue is saying they need to add some more tags to thin the moose population so the area wolves have less to prey on when the issue at hand is too many wolves in the area to start with. Thinning a few more moose out will only cause wolves to chase the next closest meal down possibly being caribou. Why not thin the problem out allowing the caribou a chance to roam without being a meal. They’re trying to reason that this is science based but this process has failed in the past, so why not do what has continued to work; a cull of wolves. Not saying wolves are the only predators, but their range/pack sizes have grown exponentially over the years without being put in check. If a cull doesn’t continue to happen here and throughout the rest of the province, ungulate populations will continually decline until we then see a starving wolf/predator problem, then as game managers, we have failed.

    ^^^^^I'm sure 99.9% of us on this site agree with you...I believe the issue is a lack of political willpower from our politicians to do the right thing, especially because they are considering the opinions of the uneducated masses of those that are not in the know - those who think wolves are cute and cuddly and don't want to see wolf cull

    If you're correct, it wouldn't appear a huge issue on the surface. But what people need to take away from this, are that the moose being harvested are being so as a means to "reduce" the wolf population. If that's true, then no, the moose should not be harvested and left to procreate. The practice of killing moose to kill wolves shows everyone how politicized managing our wildlife has become. What they are doing is implementing a stupid idea in order to subvert the possible political fall out from someone like Raincoast making a big deal out of a wolf cull.

    Let's add a few organizations that profit from those who are gullible enough to believe their bs.
