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

    While this information provides a typical general explanation of "compensatory mortality", it in no way provides any information to evaluate whether or not, or to what degree "compensatory mortality" is occurring in Wisconsin with regard to deer and wolves vs other mortality sources including...

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

    You give the impression that you don't understand what "compensatory mortality" is. Either that or you are purposefully trying to deceive people. Every deer that wolves kill IS one less deer that could be harvested by a human without effecting the deer herd's potential population growth...

    Future of Hunting in a CWD World

    Of course they were drinking. This makes for loose lips. If CWD is proven to be transmittable to humans.... Wildlife that carry the disease is no longer a viable foodsource. Millions of pounds of wild game would no longer feed people. This will immediately cause a dramatic increase in...

    Montana ram harvest analysis for fun/conversation

    By itself, the information is mostly just a curiosity. This data should be compared with herd density, yearly weather trends and extremes and of course, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.

    Future of Hunting in a CWD World

    I asked this in another CWD thread a couple weeks ago, receiving no responses. It is one future if CWD remains suspected not to infect humans. But what if the real bomb drops? What are the ramifications ( the future of hunting) if CWD is proven to be transmittable and to be lethal to...

    What I learned about CWD after 17 years of direct involvement

    More importantly, what are the ramifications if CWD is proven to be transmittable and to be lethal to Humans? What will the States and Federal government do then, does the CDC have a plan? What will happen to agriculture if CWD is proven to be transmittable to humans from plant material...

    Killed My First Ever Pronghorn, "Ivory" Tips?

    The "Ivory tip" is the very first growth of keratin from the horn core in the production of the new horn, which starts growing Before the existing horn is shed in early winter. Some info on Pronghorn horn growth can be found here. https://books.google.ca/books?id=AV...IQzAJ#v=onepage&q=ivory...

    How's old is this desert

    6 years old. A couple pictures here are marking a false annuli between the fifth and sixth year rings. The OP's second set of photos, the one from the rear, prove this to be a false annuli.

    WY one shot pronghorn hunt...circling the drain

    The war headdress makes me wonder.... Without knowing the provenance.... I see similar ones for sale on Ebay, made from turkey feathers instead of eagle. It wouldn't be the first time this gag has been played on Powerful White men.

    Hard to tell the difference between SFW and RMEF these days.

    Please educate me. Are you saying that there was "never a recovery goal", or that the was a minimum recovery goal that is different from the 150/15? From the RMEF - " That figure is more than 600 percent larger than minimum recovery goals of 150 wolves and 15 packs initially established for...

    Hard to tell the difference between SFW and RMEF these days.

    There is nothing "wrong headed" with it. The RMEF simply summarized some information from the IDFG press release. If this exact same summary was presented by another organization, what would the conspiracy be? The only hyperbole I see is your insinuation.

    Dead Chickens

    Owls can wreak havoc as well. I used to raise pheasants and recall the first time going to the aviary and finding a dozen pheasants dead and headless. Happened a few nights in a row. Finally figured out that an owl was killing them. It would fly over the coop and flush the pheasants into...

    More deer killed by wolves than hunters in some Wisconsin counties

    As I already stated, No researcher has "proof" either way, just assumptions. JAS has yet again claimed a supposition to be a fact to fit his narrative.

    More deer killed by wolves than hunters in some Wisconsin counties

    A purposeful and arrogant falsehood stated to promote a biased narrative. Historical researchers of Lewis and Clark records don't know why areas were largely void of game. Conflicting theories is all we have on this topic. Spatial density maps from these records show large prey species...
