I think what Tom is saying is that the inability to adequately gauge the populations of both wolves and bears is darn near laughable.

No, the state cannot do anything about the wolves. They can, however, take into account their numbers and adjust their deer index "science" appropriately. And, FWIW, the state is the one responsible for bringing them back. Can't say I mind having wolves among us, I can say it's ridiculous to not have a plan at the time of introduction. smile
