I am very concerned that hunters are not able to identify a female with cubs. There are times when the female will leave her cub(s) in order to seek food or shelter for the family. Without the cubs in close proximity a hunter will be able to shoot the female. What research is being conducted to count the number of orphaned cubs? Where is it published and does it impact the proposed decision?

The government is creating open season on wolves as well as bears. It seems to me that this betrays that there is more to this decision than wildlife management. Could it be a predisposition toward supporting hunters and private companies rather than creating a healthy wildlife management program?
