Big bad vd, I'm not sure if you understand that predators are something you don't want a lot of!! These are critters that you don't see a lot of just the evidence they leave that they are around. For instance you may not see a bear but all those dead trees in a replanted unit are mostly from bears. And cougars are rarely seen but the remains from there kills are. Sure I would love to get a cougar or bear with my bow to but I sure don't want to see there populations increased to improve my odds because they will wipe the deer and elk in short order.
