What makes you think this is the only venue one uses? Who gave you authority to control what others post? Just because you cannot answer the very basic questions about current populations... such as why they have been at least an order of magnitude higher in the past in the current MatSu cow hunt units... you are left with a very hollow argument.

I am not suggesting those higher numbers were within carrying capacity, but suggesting they are not now is laughable. Take a walk out on the Knik River flats and take a look at the browse and tell me it is over-utilized.

The condition of wildlife populations in AK is currently a frigging joke of the highest order. ADF&G and the BOG can add all the variables they care to and arrive at a number the pompous pricks on the BOG (and all past, for that matter) can swallow, but the biologists themselves are strongly divided, the management is a joke, morale is and has been in the toilet for ever, and they are doing a very [bleep] job in about every aspect.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
