To start, your pretentious use of words you do not understand gives you away, big time... Here is just a single example, temporally closest to the issue:
"Hopefully over time it will alleviate."
Suggesting 14A moose have been at carrying capacity since the '60s is preposterous given the extreme range of populations over that time frame. Suggesting so would indicate the populations of the '60s would have severely damaged the browse... they did not.
Reducing the population to reduce vehicle-moose collisions is not a function of carrying capacity in the biological sense.
Unfortunately for you, your bio-babble is no better than your English. And neither are worth wasting time on.

Rather than go into a lesson concerning application and use of the English language and its context per word-use, I'll mention the following;
Obviously, you weren't around this area during the 60's, or you wouldn't of proffered your synopsis concerning former/present habitat conditions.
And, the biological community isn't managing a population for public safety, as that's not provided under statute.
Again, if you have issues with the science of wildlife conservation and lands management and, the allocation of those resources among user groups, then do something tangible about it.
