If Alt wanted to decimate the herd and use hunters as the uninformed hitmen, because he was on the take to the timber companies and others as you guys claim, why would he ask hunters to pass on BB?

If harvesting BB was crucial to controlling the herd, as you claim, why would Alt ask hunters to pass on BB?

I never heard anyone but you say "kill a BB and the herd won't grow"

Do you know why? ......Because it is BALONEY!
