Much of the wildlife on our federal public lands is managed using a passive wildlife management system. Meaning that wildlife is kinda on its own with 0 being included in the allowable management goal. A good example of this is happening on Unimak island in the ak allution chain. Where our federal government feels that if all the caribou died off that is OK with their management plan. Primarily because they migrated their hundreds of years ago and are considered as invasive.
Our State biologists feel that the decline is caused by too many wolves. And feel this herd and the wolves eating them will both be gone. Sooooon. And are required by State law to manage for maximum sustained yield. Using active game management practices. And would like to cull some wolves to balance things out. So both species can survive.
So the folks who live there. And the rest of the world can enjoy hunting these valuable game resources. On our public lands. And harvesting meat for their families.
If you haven't looked into this in your state, you may want to consider it.
