And there is something called forestry.
We need more Aspens?? Really??
I have a cousin that lives on the edge of a national forest in Arkansas. Many years ago they reintroduced some kind of rattlesnake into the forest. Why?
“Just have a long hunting season”
It is just that simple.
This is Yellowstone so there are no farmers or ranchers to complain about wolf packs so they are doing what nature intended. Wolves should be managed also and I believe they are.
Forestry will do nothing to stop the Elk from eating the bark off a sapling and killing it.
Yes, they need more aspens. Really conservation has nothing to do with global warming and climate change hoax. It has to do with maintaining a balance in places like Yellowstone to keep those areas in there natural state. We have and still are damaging those eco-systems. Between killing off buffalo increasing elk herds for hunters and killing off wolves, we have to now find a balance so that region can thrive again.
But then the Yellowstone caldera may erupt and leave a third of the western USA under water or at the bottom of a large crater, killing off crops in Nebraska and Iowa and this whole discussion will be mute.
Or have a hunting season AND a trapping season, to keep both at manageable levels.
We need More Aspen not Les Aspen...........
Wolves are protected in MN, they have too many wolves & farmers are losing livestock at an alarming rate. I don’t recall seeing many Manatees in MN, perhaps the DNR should meddle with nature a bit more.
