I agree with your statement 100% Jim. I think it's an excellent point. I would MUCH rather take back the land than kill off the predators as I'm sure everyone on the forum would want to do. I just wanted to point out that even though the predators are being killed to keep nature in check it really isn't their numbers that are growing rather the land they are forced to hunt shrinking. As far as I see it they are in the same boat we are.
