Lets start a movement to save the elk and deer. I nominate jjt to head the organization, opps there already is one and it`s called PETA
if you think that is what PETA is about you dont know much about PETA. Sportsman the same ones that shoot and eat the deer and elk are the ones who are responcible for keeping there herds big and prosperous
Sad when any human advocates wiping out a species and then "claims" to care about nature. Ask yourself this question, If CWD gets into livestock are you going to support the total removal of all deer and elk from rangeland to stop it from spreading?
first off CWD DOES NOT transmit to livestock from elk and deer, However Brucelousis does and we do our best to manage/vaccinate/etc to stop the spread both ways from cattle to elk to buffalo and buffalo/ elk to cattle
we donot eliminate herds we simply manage against it
Because you believe in the removal of one species to benefit another you must agree with this. When I hear people talk about slaughtering any species it makes me ashamed to be classed as a sportsman with these same people.
biologist game ranches national forests fisheries etc have proven that when you insert the correct management tool you can have super populations and keep them in most cases this includes eliminateing the uncontroled predators or severele limiting there numbers
How can we argue that we hunt to enjoy the great outdoors but only the outdoors that doesn`t include all species (we just want game animals, no predators please).
You (humans) are not natural in the outdoors there fore you should hang up your rifle and just goto the grocery store
the anti's are haveing a great time rejoiceing the more places they get wolves relocated the less people will be able to hunt 90% of the locations of wolves in the WY,ID, and MT are cutting licenses or quotas for hunting already. so i am pretty sure the anti's are winning this battle with the help of sportsman like yourself
