I would tend to prefer adding a hunting season to adding predators that might like to snack on little kids who are camping with their families.
I just hope a leave-it-to-nature and just keep it in balance approach is used in the Pando area-it looks like a beautiful natural area...
You need both the hunting season and the natural predators-we’ve had both in this state for a natural balance for at least 35-40 years, when mountain lions were brought back to areas where they had been hunted out and the deer and other prey animal population was overbred, too large for the food supply and the deer were sickly and dying-things are better balanced now, and black bears have been re-introduced, too...
I don’t know what state you live in, or if you live in a city or rural area-I live in a rural area, and have lived in rural areas most of my life-including some time in another state-where there are mountains, mountain lions and lots of bears-my hubby and I took our cub camping in Big Bend, the mountains of NM, the Guadalupe mts, etc-all wild areas-closest we ever came to being threatened by a predator when camping was when a bear got into our Suburban one night because our cub had left an open package of Oreos in there-if you keep your kids in sight, and don’t let them wander into the woods alone, they will be fine. They are in more danger of being bitten by a rattler than they are of being taken by a mountain lion or bear, or even a pack of coyotes...
There is plenty of natural prey for the large predators here that are easier to obtain than well-guarded kids-living in the country means living with the wild animals-not killing them off-there have not been any mountain lion or bear attacks here on adults or kids-last wild animal predator attack on a human was feral hogs attacking a hunter-and it was not fatal to the hunter-just to the hog...
