But common sense logic to things is lacking in today's world. So we need expensive studies to prove what many already know. So this year we will need a new scapegoat. So wolves dont get any blame in it. I nominate the fisher for this. An aggressive predator that surely is killing all the fawns now. I will begin a study on this as well. Please send your donations to help fund this to my home address, LMAO!!!
After all the deer are in the yard and the predators have followed, we will kill all of the wolves to prove they didn't have the opportunity to eat the deer in the yard. Once this 3 year study has been completed then we will move on to coyotes for the next 3 years and of course wolves would have to be shot on site also as they will skew the number of deer eaten out of the yarding area.
The number of deer will be counted before any of the predator harvest begins each season and recorded.
With the deep snow, the wolves will be easy to target and remove form the study area.
Shouldn't take millions of dollars to implement and compile the numbers either!
If the herd isn't reduced them we know they eat wolves. Of course we will have to include a figure for normal over winter mortality.
Any volunteers to help out???
