Where’d the deer go? Hunter frustration grows in Minnesota Northwoods

Watch it all. It seems not to matter to these so-called “experts” that they are parroting incoherent and inconsistent talking points.
First “expert”: the deer herd has decreased because of hard winters. Second “expert”: the deer herd has increased and hunters are having more success, and just because there are wolves around doesn’t mean wolves are killing them, it just means the wolves are following them and the hunters see the wolves.
And the “journalist” is too stupid to call them out on the inconsistency.
Next up, imagine what it would be like to live in a country without the patients aren’t running the asylum. This judge has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about, and neither do the people to whom he listened, and has no right to interfere with state hunting regulations or the state wildlife biologists, and finally shouldn’t be concerned about bears with missing toes.
Good Lord. Why do I have to point these things out? Why doesn’t the entire country look at them and laugh and point and make fun of them?
F&S.
A federal judge has cut wolf trapping season in half in most of Montana. The decision comes after multiple animal advocacy groups filed a lawsuit claiming that federally-protected grizzly bears are being unintentionally snared in the western part of the Big Sky State.
According to Montana Public Radio that four cases of grizzlies with missing toes and legs were documented by state biologists in 2021. By shrinking the wolf trapping season from nearly four months to less than two months, the ruling aims to mitigate unintentional harm to grizzly bears, the outlet reports.
The intent is to have traps active only when bears are hibernating, wrote U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy in the final ruling. Molloy also pointed to shifting weather patterns as a reason for the court-ordered regulation change, writing that grizzlies are becoming more active outside of their dens during the shoulder seasons due to climate change.
Ooo … climate change. Well there you go. Gaia has spoken. The FedGov listened and obeyed.

The decades-long project to dumb-down the American electorate and American schools has many down-stream consequences, and this is one of them. Also, because of increasing urbanization, many people have no or insufficient knowledge of the natural world to make informed judgments or utilize critical thinking skills. They simply haven’t been exposed to it enough to understand it well, if at all.

And here’s one where they try to make guides and hunters who followed all laws and regulations to hunt wolves sound bad because the wolves in question spent some of their time on the Colorado side of the state border.

Mr. Science Computer guy leaves out a bit of helpful data. Historical deer herd/hunt success prior to the wolves being reintroduced. Then factor in the bad winters and see what numbers tumble out of his computer. Not all the answers are in that ‘puter.

They aren’t interested in science (for science sake).
They’re interested in cherry picking things that may have happened and presenting them as science to support their position. And judges just want to maintain their position at cocktail hour amongst those that litigate these things.
Like Grunt said…And Michael Gilson, and GeorgiaBoy61.
Agree with you all. And add – we’re hosed.

I live in a large city in northern Wisconsin. The “few”
wolves around are being seen everywhere in our county.
I had wolves in my yard in the city limits twice this last spring.
I have several friends raising beef cattle They have all had losses
To wolves. It is pretty much the same here in northern Wisconsin

Where’s Tim Sundles when we need him? He took care of wolves once, he can do it again.
