It is very ignorant and…

It is very ignorant and uncivil to give into the idea of a few people who deny science and love to kill for fun to come up with strategies for wildlife management, especially when their end goal is just to have a healthy moose population to also kill. Does that make any sense at all?

1. Coyotes would be a big rarity in any moose kills. Anyone who studies ungulates probably has advised this already.

2. You know who is the number one predator and problem when it comes to Moose? People! Our own continued interference and destruction of habitat and/ or further fragmentation of habitat. It makes zero sense to say on one hand that there are dwindling numbers. Then on the other that we need to be able to hunt them still. Less than 1% of hunter(s) being imperatively reliant on this as a food source. Why not just close moose season for a decade or so and then ban habitat destruction/ fragmentation for the same period of time? I guarantee that would be a much better long-term solution.

3. Are wolves also not an equally important piece of the natural balance and food chain in those habitats? Hint the answer from every unbiased scientist is yes. Also every one of those scientists knows their basic predator/ prey relationship models will have this intertwined over time in response to each other (ie if moose goes down so do predator populations that rely on that as a food source).

Therefore lets please leave these kind of decisions up to professionals only and not committees of sad and deranged people who for some reason feel entertained by killing things as a hobby.
