    Interesting......

    One of the reasons I switched over to copper - a lot of research showing lead toxicity in scavengers, birds of prey, etc.

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    It must be incredibly frustrating and honestly I hadn't thought about some of those perspectives. Would love to see more articles like this on high traffic hunting websites.

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    Sad! Dealt with same stuff in SW Oregon. In fact, my wife who is also from SW OR, thought hunting was "shining a light at animals during the night and shooting everything you could".

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    I can go through some of my papers and PM them to you. It's a topic addressed by wildlife biologists as it is complex. You can have some areas with additive predation, other areas with compensatory, or some areas with both additive and compensatory. You can even have local populations...

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    You are doing a good job of misunderstanding me, I will give you that! I’m not ‘arguing’, I have largely regurgitated WI DNR data and statements, with the exception of my first post which was actually asking for data. Knowing how these threads go, from prior experience, I decided I better look...

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    mtmuley, Thanks for your private message and your responses here. Did you read the sources I provided? https://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_circulars/CR688/welcome.html "This leads to the most common misconception people have regarding predation, namely that the individual killed by the predator...

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    🙄 Your statement shows you are assuming hunters will have a chance to legally harvest every deer that’s born, and every deer that survives hunting season will be available next hunting season. Bad winters, weather, drought, disease, malnutrition, etc can and do kill deer,elk throughout the...

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    2019: "We are in the neighborhood of all-time record high deer numbers in Wisconsin," Kevin Wallenfang, Department of Natural Resources deer and elk ecologist If I'm to believe the state's Deer and Elk ecologist, which I typically always do over hunters anecdotal statements, Wisconsin has (or...

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    Is there data suggesting this will make a difference in the deer or not? I asked for this in another thread but received an opinion.

    Judge orders Wisconsin DNR to start wolf hunt this month

    What does the data say about Wolves in Wisconsin? I am not familiar with the state. Are the deer numbers struggling? I read somewhere they are trying to build an elk population up. Is the elk population not growing? I am interested in official population estimates/trends, not anecdotal.

    Hunters need a new public image

    I'm not sure what to tell you other than we know different "follow the science" crowds. Yours seems politicized and I see how it is frustrating through that lens.

    Webinar - fish recolonization nearly 10 years after White Salmon River dam removal

    No sorry, the selective harvest method you were referring to (which looks awesome) always takes me down a rabbit hole! If we localized our commercial harvest to terminal rivers (where the fish return to spawn - ex Columbia, bigger Columbia tribs, specific PNW rivers) we would have more control...

    Hunters need a new public image

    There is something called a scientific consensus, and peer reviewed science. If there is a single, novel study 'suggesting' why an outcome was observed it's often premature to let that research act as guidance. Multiple studies, years of studies, and decades of studies which share the same...
