The rams outside the parks must be down right stupid as they are obviously all killed by predators in areas where predators are actually hunted. I suppose predators in the protected areas avoid rams specifically ( maybe they are worried they may get charged with some sort of offence by park wardens ).

Predators, predators, predators, sounds like there is a predator problem in the province, only on crown land of course where virtually every decent ram is shot before spring, in the parks the rams just keep on living.

Who is actually stupid enough to believe that there is a predation problem?

I hear you. Its just a tactic to deflect blame from the root of the problem. Nobody that has any commen sense and has sifted through the info can be that stupid to actually believe that predators are selectively killing bigger Rams in just the areas outside the parks and 400. Good grief. Folks are just muddying the water in the hopes that everyone else that hasn't looked through the info will buy the BS they are selling.
