I'm not surprised that some here refuse to answer the question.
The same applies for Cypress Hills, Kananaskis and the K country parks, Willmore, and now the Castle.
Any experienced hunter knows how quickly animals change their tune when they become hunted.
The difficulty of the hunt is the least of the important factor here,
Most important is having hunting included as a legitimate wildlife management tool.
It is beyond me why some people here can't see that.....

Managing the herd is #1 priority, #2 is filling the freezer for those who will eat it.
Anyone who would consider this a hunt, isn't a hunter.

Any hunt can be part of a cull.
A cull does not have to include hunting.
This is such a silly point to have to make....
This is a Cull ( a purposeful population reduction) that may use Hunting as the mechanism to effect the reduction.
