It is pretty much the same problem with the pelicans and the wolves. The pelicans that nest at Blackfoot Reservoir are Fed protected yet they are wiping out a unique run of cutthroats on the Blackfoot R. Not to mention what they do to our other fish.
The wolves in some areas have about wiped out our game herds. At least now they can be thinned a little, but it is already too late for the guides and hunters of those areas. It will be a very long time before there is a balance, if ever.
Anytime you OVER protect a species....other species are going to suffer. And usually the sportsmen also.
Most sportsmen are all for the environment....as a whole. Armchair environmentalists never see the whole picture. Tunnel vision at it's finest!
