Post by: nwwanderer on February 27, 2024, 06:40:21 AM: Thanks, interesting stuff if you can wade through it. A couple of common themes, humans did it and we need more predators. Costs of these studies are not explored and use by the WDFW is unknown. On a side note WSU seems to have treated wildlife biology field study much like the PAC 12 (2), shrinking on shaky ground. Would love to see and read research to change my opinion
