Kodiak deer are one of the high density critters I mentioned.
We have lots of brown bears on the KP, and extremely limited opportunities to thin them. Brownies put the hurt on moose and caribou calves. There are areas thick with wolves - can you say "tacos"? There are areas thick with blackies - with the resultant depletion of moose calf recruitment.
Areas with deer are a different management paradigm than moose and caribou.
