We exterminated deer, elk, bighorns, pronghorns, and moose, too--what was the reason again?

It was good for farmers and ranchers?
Yep--that and subsistence hunting by early miners and settlers. And the ranchers and farmers screamed bloody murder when deer and elk populations began to be plentiful again.........even using the same phrases and threats I see on these wolf forums.
I guess history does repeat itself.
