Color me confused...
So now that the wolf population in Minnesota has recovered sufficiently to warrant them losing federal protection, it's time to start shooting them again, right?
I find this genuinely baffling. If the wolf population/distribution has been stable for the past ten years (controlling itself nicely, it seems), why do we need a wolf season? Or are we playing a new game in which we push a species to the point of needing federal protection, let it recover, and then drive it to the brink again, repeat ad nauseum? SOUNDS FUN.
