Keerful what Ya wish for - some bureaucrap in an agency wants to make a career of “reintroducing” large bodied predators. Yes, that AgencyPerson knows predators are about impossible to control and they are fearfully expensive, with most of that expense being salaries, of course.
Hunters, on the other hand, pay for the hunting, and are very discerning as to what they kill. No predator accepts what an AgencyPerson wants they to kill and eat. Hunters will not only kill what animals need culling, they pay to so do. Therefore, fire the AgencyPersons and sell some hunting permits.
PS Time for a recreational, non-commercial, permit for the taking of AgencyPersons - no bag limits, no minimum size, hunting with lights and dogs is encouraged, males, females, “blind, crippled, or crazy”.
I live near the woods in Maryland.
I largest predators I see are Foxes, and they take care of the mice, rats, etc
The Deers roam free and cause havoc, destruction and Lyme disease.
The county does allow controlled deerhunts (using bows) on their land each fall, one weekday per month. But its not enough.
The Woods here is being replaced by housing too fast.
