Until recently, the government would take action to control wolf numbers, be it in a small localized area or on a Much larger scale.
It is obvious that the current "the hunters must do it" approach does not work.
The government needs to get back to real and proper wolf management.

Hunters must do it approach is not the thinking here. I just think it is ridiculous that the sportsman will only go out for them if they get a $1600 bounty and that is what the statement refers to as that is what people have said. If " the hunters" want to help, go help, spend some time in the bush, try to see how hard it is to shoot wolves and how much work they are. how many hunters in the past posts have complained about wolves? How many of those people have went out and hunted wolves? Is that not the sportsman part of it. Do I need to do it only of there is $1500 bounty? There are already options out there to make money as a sportsman if it is about the money. Which is not were we want sport to go. More wolves you get the more money you make. Not one for $1600 and done, Or becoming a job for people.
The gov has been culling wolves in the province for the past few years, Poison, using helicopters.
It is a shared responsibility.
