Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

15C is doing pretty well because of fires over the past 10-15 years or so.
15B will recover after the 200,000 acre Funny River fire two years ago. It just ain't there yet.
15A contains a lot of KNWR (the agency of "NO"*) and will be the most difficult to gain a decent population. Difficult access, no fires, lots of brown bears.
No idea about 7.
* The agency of "NO"... No 'aerial ungulate enhancement (AKA wolf control)' on KNWR; beside, the problem is bears not wolves.
Ok, need a bear hunt; NO, people come here to see bears. Can't kill them. Beside, the real problem is habitat succession. OK, lets, crush and/or burn.
NO prescribed burns because that makes smoke in Anchorage.
No, No, and um, No.
in fairness, we do have a brown bear season now.

Yeah, a brown bear season that was wildly successful the first year because the population is far higher than they will accept... so they keep shutting it down every time it looks like it might do some good.

And as you may know, the KNWR chief biologist that was in charge of the DNA study is a freaking bird biologist. Nothing against bird biologists, but my analogy is that having him run the brown bear study was like going to an OB/GYN for a toothache. Wrong specialty. On top of that, after the first season with ~70 kills, he modeled the population with an 'extinction' program. Guess what? The model showed the population crashing bigly. Bias much?

I think you get my point.
Anyway, BP has dropped a bit. This was just to post a fun pic of cow/calf about a dozen steps from my garage door.

Aw... hell nah! Cool pic.
The little paddle bull I put up a picture of the other day decided to spend the night in the yard last night. Then two more moose (yearlings) wandered in, and then a bear wandered in and chased off the twins. It was a busy night, and I'm not even touching your medical analogy.

Beginning of last week this young fella decided to hang out with us for a bit. Had to shoo him away so my kid could get in the house after school.

Thems pretty sweet, but do you have a moose-totem combination shot? or an "oh chit" shot?

That is a good looking young bull. He's even trimmed his dewlap. We do not shock our moose. We found it makes the meat tough.
