If there is not enough current hunting pressure to keep the wolf population in control, then incentivize hunters. For each wolf killed, refund 100% of a deer license - out of state hunters included. For every two wolves killed, refund 100% of an elk license.
Would this work? Or maybe my idea has some holes in it?
GOV"T doesn't think like that, most are there to have a secure job with benefits/pension. They're not looking to give department/budget money away.
