Problem is - it's already not natural. We built cities and developed farmlands in the natural wintering grounds... I don't mind feeding the critters to make up for that and help ensure we have game to hunt in the fall.

So true. Humans have screwed up nature so bad that it can't repair it's self or level out without more human intervention.

In the old days if a cougar ran out of food in the mountains it came to the lowlands for deer and elk. If there were no deer or elk in the lowlands the cougar would starve. Predators adapt and now the lowlands are so full of cattle/sheep/dogs/cats that the cougar will not starve.

So in a sense we are already feeding big game animals.. :chuckle:

Dont we all hunt on a full stomach,so why is it a problem to help out the wildlife.If you have not noticed we are building homes in winter ranges were these animals need to go.My question is what will they eat when timber companys spray ,all of the clear cuts to kill off compettive plant life that competes with the trees.This is the choice you either feed the wild life or there will be none,159 dead elk LOWITT game refuge that was only on the WDFW 1700 acres.This is the worst die off in history(GREAT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM)ias stewarts of the out doors we all should be concerned about this.This is the indicater light that says there is a problem.
