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.
