An excellent overall assessment by Young Eldon. Many of you should read it and understand it. The only problem I have with it is the statement that studies have not been done which would satisfy me. This is not true, many have been done and none blame wolves as a primary cause of ungulate reductions, only a contributing factor which does not sit well with many of you, presumably including Young Eldon.
If you watched the recent CTV documentary on wolves you will have heard the new carnivore management biologist confirm this and add that wolf control would be unwise in part because it would require at least the removal of 80% of the population per year. Impossible!
