Very expensive experience I'm sure. Us city dwellers have little insight into what causes nightmares for those who supply us with our food and clothing.
We have family friends who are ranchers adjacent to Yellowstone and we've heard from them the bitter stories of their fight against the re-introduction of wolves to that park. Trying to ID a specific predator from a mostly gone carcass isn't easy and without proof the Feds just say so sorry.
There is the another option, that often repeated saying of the 3 S's:
Shoot, Shovel and Shut up.
