I’m naive but if anyone really wanted to know, I would suggest they contact a couple of well known, older, with years of cougar hound hunting on mules, in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, prior to the grey wolf reintroduction and still hunting them today. Any serious cougar hunter, that follows his hounds will know if wolves (or bears, or both) are cleaning up cougar kills…….. to a significant degree.
Anomalous are reality to but we aught to know what is and what isn’t.
Yes/No?
In the big game management world it certainly would be worthwhile knowing what’s actually happening in this predator prey dance for survival. Because…….. it is absolutely not the same as it was in the 1960/70. That is a fact…….. and what, if anything are the bureaucrats doing about it………. without a legislator’s boot up their ass?
Or maybe we just don’t give a crap and suggest there’s nothing we can do…….?
