This quote says it all.

"Do we kill cougars because they're killing elk that hunters want to hunt?

This quote says it all. All the "Hook and Bullet" analysis going on, is nothing but discussions on reducing or eliminating harvest. Understandable, because look where harvest management has got us. I wonder how the Tribes feel about this? It doesn't matter what we want to do if the tribes don't. They have already taken over fisheries management and I see them taking over fish hatcheries at some point. I doubt REWILDING EARTH will fit into there harvest models or help there economies.
