What a concept!
If only NPS had a brain...
But wait...

Moose over populated but the wolves don't stay?!?!??
State lawmakers say humans would be able to assist? No! That's not, "natural"! Humans are not part of Earth's cycle of life, damn it! Sustenance via moose #'s of fantastic meat? No! It either over populated or...

The wolves screw themselves into genetic deformities within nature but no! Mr. Hyde must replenish the isle with forced re-introduction again... oh crap need a few more! They ran away! Must... keep... the mad scientific experiment going!

Welcome to the Hotel Isle Royale!
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel Isle Royale.
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here...

Wait for it... Wait for it...

Newcomer wolves kill Isle Royale National Park's oldest gray wolf

Officials say the oldest gray wolf at Isle Royale National Park has died. The 12-year-old male apparently was killed by other wolves on the Lake Superior island chain. He was one of two survivors that remained when officials decided to relocate mainland wolves to the park to rebuild its population.

There is hunting in other national parks, but are folks allowed to keep the meat? I thought there was some rule where you could not.....

If true, then, while being a cool experience, I would have zero interest in this hunt.

NPS donation from their reduction:

National Parks in Maryland and DC Provide More Than 50,000 Meals to Neighbors with Donated Venison - Rock Creek Park (U.S. National Park Service)

WASHINGTON—Four national parks in Maryland and the District of Columbia recently concluded annual operations to reduce overabundant white-tailed deer. Two Civil War battlefields, a 5,810-acre hardwood mountain forest and a national park in the heart of our nation’s capital, donated more than 14,000 pounds of venison to local non-profits that serve those in need.
