In Washington state they cancelled our spring bear hunting. The populations are exploding right now while elk and deer populations are dwindling. I’ve never seen such a poorly run state 🤦♂️
Just because a population gets larger to reach the same population it USED to be doesn’t mean it’s a problem. Same with deer populations falling, it’s about reaching a balance, not keeping it the same forever
You can go deeper with that theory with hunting. You can tack on that if they essentially legislate hunting out of the equation, that's just one more avenue to attack the 2nd. Even though it has nothing to do with hunting, that still provides them the cover to run agit prop like "you don't even hunt anymore!!!" No need for firearms (or certain firearms) little by little.
They don't like any type of self-sufficiency. Farming, gardening, homesteading, ffs some places regulate rain water collection. You know, rain from the sky? These sick people want to regulate THAT even.

Wolves have been in Colorado for at least 15 years, I know because I have seen more than one. Wolves aren't over harvesting either... look what they did in Yellowstone.

I live in a teeny little town in Colorado with nothing but blue skies, sagebrush, and mesa landscapes. Two months ago, I found pugmarks, lion prints, right outside my back door.
Why don't they just stretch out the season And encourage more out-of-area hunters. It would create more revenue and potentially boost your local economy.
Trophy hunting is killing stuff you don’t eat. You do it for the pelt or mount. Most people are opposed to that, 70-75%. Look at east WA and OR, where they came in on their own. Friction is just as bad.
I'm not a hunter but the Rogan podcasts over the years have helped to open my eyes and educate me on hunting. It is one way to put food on the table. I am able to see hunting in a more balanced way. Previous to these podcasts I only heard from the one side.
There's a difference between ethical hunting, non-predator hunting for food, and predator hunting, trapping, or hounding aka trophy hunting which is barbaric, inhumane, and unethical.
cam and rinella together? ive been waiting for this for a long time. Is there a reason why they dont interact more, or was there a reason? It seems like they should be best buds lol

@@Buddystemzthat’s just how you feel about him. In reality, he’s an extremely smart man and a seasoned hunter in every aspect of the game. You’re just a hater

I love how Joe can get professional hunters in, they teach him what they know and he's an expert. I cant do that. I dont have any connections with any good hunters. Hunting near me is almost impossible.
Why would one hunt a Mountain (or any) Lion... except for "lion-kiling-experience" or trophy? Are you guys saying you need to kill a lion to put food on table??
They are full of it , they are trying to drag in food availability and ranchers to justify killing them for sport. They also think deers are going to go extinct because of the mt. Lions. They are fear mongering
People technically don’t need to hunt to put food on the table anymore, so lots of hunting is both food and the hunting experience. You are also forgetting population control. Also people eat mountain lion
In Germany they will have large hunts when there is an over population that is adversely affecting crops and the like. They have found a way to keep it in the middle most of the time. Mountain lions are my favorite animal, they are just so beautiful.
I was a supervisor/volunteer coordinator at a wildlife sanctuary and have been working with wildlife for over 10 years. None of these guys are wildlife experts, mountain lions are a keystone species. Many other species rely on them directly or indirectly to survive. Absolutely no need to hunt mountain lions, there’s tons of game animals to hunt. It’s a natural predation that occurs when mountain lions are hunting they’re not devastating deer populations.
@@worldobserver3515 Mountain lions eat deer as they have for 1000’s of years. These are species that have evolved together and as a result they have a natural balance with the each other
@@worldobserver3515 recent studies conducted on mountain lions shows no change in their diet or population. They don’t just eat deer, feral pigs, javelinas, coyotes, bighorn sheep and many others are also on the menu.
@@worldobserver3515 There are many states that have out of control deer populations. Not that long ago there was some talk in the state of Maine where they were considering reintroducing mountain lions. I'm not sure if you've ever been there, but the vast majority of the state is incredibly rural and barely populated, so it could potentially work. I even saw something very similar with New Jersey, but this was quickly dismissed due to how developed the state was.
An acquaintance of mine has a son who is a taxidermist in Montana. To boost his business, his mother thought it would be a good idea if she shot a mountain lion for him to mount for his studio.. This is the part that I am against, they hire someone with dogs to find a mountain lion and tree the animal. They called her on the phone and she went to the general area where they located her and took her to where the mountain lion was in the tree and she shot it because she had a apparently a license to take a mountain lion. Hunting is one thing doing it like this is not my cup of tea.. I told her you must be real proud of yourself for doing this. No one in our circles of acquaintances or friends thought this was a great idea that she had.
I know both sides of the argument pretty well. My grandfather killed over 3,000 wolves in Alaska as a part of trapping, guiding, and as a gun for hire with the USFWS on predator control. I worked for an outfitter for a minute and didn't like the industry at all. Trophy hunters exist, and I call them killers rather than hunters. They just want to kill shit for the bragging rights. And, they don't want to put in the time and energy to honestly hunt. At the end of the day there is a big difference between hunters and killers. The industry tends to market itself to the latter.
of course trophy hunters exist, there is big money in industry. wolves can be managed w/out amateur hunters getting a adrenaline rush and photo ops IMHO.
@@acjohn6995 I'm not big on calling them "scum bags," What they are is elitists. They have a ticket for sale that is required by the state. The "guide" has a "hunter" without any knowledge of how to trek. That's $18,000 from Spain for nothing. The hit man wanted to pick a bear from the herd we brought into camp. He wasn't a hunter.
I have a different view when it comes to the big game preserves in Africa. With how those countries are it seems that’s the only way to keep those species alive in those areas
I live in remote Powder River County with one side of the farm's fences the border of Custer National Forest. I loathe to be too specific in case some hunter sees this but regardless, I have a suspected lion den about ... ?5,000 yards from cabin? Perfect cave excavated out under debris in an ancient dump. Lots in area by tracks and rancher sightings; I'm new here. Just into private property but CNF only yards away leading to prime hunting habit in forested canyons beyond. Luckily this is a chunk that is a logistic nightmare to access, requiring miles of backtrack after a legal crossing w/o roads or trails. Unless they go through this land that touches a corner. Then it's a 15 minute hike. Last year I allowed 2 parties due to their being new, respectful and wide-eyed newbies. Damn if they didn't get their trophy elks within a HOUR. 6-12 big bulls still up there but no more permissions. Locked gate and sign this year so I don't risk allowing it; I can be a softie if I sense good people. Yammer aside, the lions have NEVER caused a problem despite loose cats and lots of various livestock. Leave them alone.
My family and I went camping out at Turquoise Lake in Colorado a few years ago. Long story short, we had to leave around 2 in the morning. I’m ABSOLUTELY positive I seen a wolf coming down the mountain. He or she was so freaking beautiful. Absolutely massive dog I was so excited and freaked out at the same time I yelled out loud and woke up the wife and kids lol.
It’s funny to me how much of a gatekeeper Joe is when it comes to bow hunting. As a life long bow hunter and hunting guide in New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas…we aren’t elitist like Joe is. Joe is the picture perfect example of someone who came into the hunting world late in life and now tries to inflate his own self worth as a hunter by acting as if only the best, most in shape, and disciplined people can do it. Anyone can learn to bow hunt. You don’t need a mantra and you’re not sub par if you use a whisker biscuit. If you ambush hunt, or hunt in a stand you’re not less of a hunter than some who does still/stalk hunting. You don’t have to hike 5 miles into the backcountry. You can hunt in your back 40 and it’s just as valid. It’s really funny to listen to Joe on this topic because he really isn’t as well versed as he thinks he is…he just repeats what he hears other people say. The guys a goofball. Everybody should learn to hunt…even if that means sitting in a blind with a feeder. As long as you’re ethical, safe, and careful about which animal you choose to take.
I disagree with they all hate hunters, I have a lot of friends who are animal rights activists, they don’t hate hunting of deer, elk, pronghorn, sheep, moose and etc, they hate hunting of bears, mountain lion, coyote and wolves for some reason, but let’s be honest, there a lot of hunters who hate animal rights activist, it’s both sides. Yes I’m a big game hunter also.
PETA had massive protest in an area of my state many years ago that year they canceled the Fall deer hunting season the result was more dear died from starvation and malnutrition than if they were managed through hunting responsible hunting
It’s true. And if there was a healthy, controlled (by hunting) predator population then the deer wouldn’t starve as much. More of them would be prey to predators.
How about them thinking it's a good idea to introduce Grizzly bears in Northern Arizona animal population. I'd rather only have the Black Bears, especially when having one walk up on me and only being about 20 yards away from me. Scary shit
Hi Joe, I'm from Germany and love to watch your podcasts. I imagine if you invite Billy Carson to you and discuss his research of Annunaki and the origins of humankind, based on recent discoveries. Hope you will see it. Have a good one
Any species management should be decided by conservation agencies using science based population management strategies. It should NEVER be done by ballot measure.
I did a lion hunt in Nevada. It was a serious process I’d only do once. I went to Vegas afterwards and met an Uber driver from Cameroon. He had no idea he moved from lions to mountain lions and we had a good laugh about it
it is still a trophy if you post it on instagram is the way I see it. They aren't hunting for food, they can get food from the store. They are hunting cause they want to kill shit (with no real effort either)
@@JohnSmith-j7n my point is they aren't hunting for food since they can get food much easier by just buying it. They are rich, they don't need to kill they just do it cause they want to feel something and they've made it their identity.
I can understand to keep mountain lion population in check. I don't think mountain lions have any known predators except man. But they are beautiful animals and they do eat other animals to keep that population in check as well.
When I was installing air conditioning system on this residential house out of town of Fayetteville Arkansas, like toward Goshen, a Wolf brung me a rock that was bigger than a softball and wanted to play, threw it couple of times an took a picture b4 the last throw then went back to work upstairs in the attic, few days later on my way back to work I seen the whole wolf pack crossing the road an I was like damn oh sh*t that was a wolf I was playing with other day like I'm lucky I didn't smell like food
"Nobody does that", Yes.. they do.. I live in Australia, and a friend of mine worked as a 'deckie' on a Super yacht which travelled a ludicrous distance for seemingly no purpose.. only for him to find out they'd brought back the taxidermy of an endangered species (which the owner had shot) from one country back to the owner's estate in Texas (US).. running costs were x6figures to do that journey.
Unless it's a nuances to the community, an obviously it's being hostile, a mountain lion, and wolves are apex predators an are a vital role to the entire ecosystem of an area, and shouldn't be hunted, it's pretty much trophy hunting outside of those circumstances, if it's not hostile, especially a mountain lion or wolf it's just a big cat and dog, but have to respect the fact they're wild, feral, animals, an you can't be stupid and forget that fact, and taking away mountain lions, and wolves food and they eat elk will lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem, to the plant seeds in the elks droppins, and lead to more hostility of nature, due to basic necessity of life.
Seriously I want a diverse ecosystem if ranchers were never compensated yeah change that so theu are but barely any livestock will be affected and theu get ample compensation
Mounting Lions attacked a couple dogs recently in summit county Colorado. Mitigation is key! Sitting on the Polis just wanted credit for the reintroduction of wolves even though they came in naturally....

Is this a podcast with Cam Hanes and Steve Rinella on the same podcast!?!?
Wolves have been in Colorado for at least 15 years, I know because I have seen more than one. Wolves aren't over harvesting either... look what they did in Yellowstone. Wolves pushed they herd back to where they need to be and created a better balance to the system. Look up Aldo Leopold and what created the wilderness that we all enjoy
Hunters are just insecure people who are trying to compensate for something small 🤣
Joe get tucker on your podcast. We want to hear about his Russia trip.
Tucker has become more mainstream since leaving mainstream media.🤣He asked the longest sitting president of our time to talk about AI? Tucker questioning to Putin was awful. I found it comical when Putin brought up Jewish history that's when Tucker decided to cut him off. Comical

I live in a teeny little town in Colorado with nothing but blue skies, sagebrush, and mesa landscapes. Two months ago, I found pugmarks, lion prints, right outside my back door.
Yep.. That's what happens when you live in lion territory.

where im from we release a mountain lion every year or 2 into the mountains to keep the deer population down
Where are you from ?

Why don't they just stretch out the season And encourage more out-of-area hunters. It would create more revenue and potentially boost your local economy.
Steve is a trophy hunter
Trophy hunting is killing stuff you don’t eat. You do it for the pelt or mount. Most people are opposed to that, 70-75%.
Look at east WA and OR, where they came in on their own. Friction is just as bad.
I'm not a hunter but the Rogan podcasts over the years have helped to open my eyes and educate me on hunting. It is one way to put food on the table. I am able to see hunting in a more balanced way. Previous to these podcasts I only heard from the one side.
Also much more healthy than the store bought Frankenmeat
There's a difference between ethical hunting, non-predator hunting for food, and predator hunting, trapping, or hounding aka trophy hunting which is barbaric, inhumane, and unethical.
cam and rinella together? ive been waiting for this for a long time. Is there a reason why they dont interact more, or was there a reason? It seems like they should be best buds lol
Send him some fanmail, might get an autographed pic back
Prob cuz rinella is overbearing, talks to much, thinks he knows everything, and a lil conceited. Both alpha types but cam doesn’t think he’s a know it all unlike rinella. If you’ve ever been around a person like that, it’s draining.
@@Buddystemzthat’s just how you feel about him. In reality, he’s an extremely smart man and a seasoned hunter in every aspect of the game. You’re just a hater
@@colenewman4639 not in the slightest. Didn’t say he didn’t know things, he’s just an arrogant know it all.
@@Buddystemz being a “know it all” and actually knowing it all are two mutually exclusive things. Steve knows it all. And he informs others of things that he knows. Again, you’re just a hater. And judging by your last comment, you’re on par with the average American (stupid)
Don't kill the mountain lions dorks...
That name drop took me by surprise
I love how Joe can get professional hunters in, they teach him what they know and he's an expert. I cant do that. I dont have any connections with any good hunters. Hunting near me is almost impossible.
Why would one hunt a Mountain (or any) Lion... except for "lion-kiling-experience" or trophy? Are you guys saying you need to kill a lion to put food on table??
They are full of it , they are trying to drag in food availability and ranchers to justify killing them for sport. They also think deers are going to go extinct because of the mt. Lions. They are fear mongering
People do eat Mountain Lion, the same as bear.
Also theyre dangerous
Meat is meat
People technically don’t need to hunt to put food on the table anymore, so lots of hunting is both food and the hunting experience. You are also forgetting population control. Also people eat mountain lion
Joe's rant is hilarious 😂. He has two serious experts on and he does all the talking 😅
In Germany they will have large hunts when there is an over population that is adversely affecting crops and the like. They have found a way to keep it in the middle most of the time. Mountain lions are my favorite animal, they are just so beautiful.
There are statics on every thing. Just gotta know where to look.
I was a supervisor/volunteer coordinator at a wildlife sanctuary and have been working with wildlife for over 10 years. None of these guys are wildlife experts, mountain lions are a keystone species. Many other species rely on them directly or indirectly to survive. Absolutely no need to hunt mountain lions, there’s tons of game animals to hunt. It’s a natural predation that occurs when mountain lions are hunting they’re not devastating deer populations.
What crap. Mountain lions take out a lot of deer. Fact.
@@worldobserver3515 Mountain lions eat deer as they have for 1000’s of years. These are species that have evolved together and as a result they have a natural balance with the each other
@@chronic124 it's not in balance anymore.
@@worldobserver3515 recent studies conducted on mountain lions shows no change in their diet or population. They don’t just eat deer, feral pigs, javelinas, coyotes, bighorn sheep and many others are also on the menu.
@@worldobserver3515 There are many states that have out of control deer populations. Not that long ago there was some talk in the state of Maine where they were considering reintroducing mountain lions. I'm not sure if you've ever been there, but the vast majority of the state is incredibly rural and barely populated, so it could potentially work. I even saw something very similar with New Jersey, but this was quickly dismissed due to how developed the state was.
you can love animals, appreciate and respect nature, and also hunt. you dont have to be one or the other
That's 100% true - unless you're a trophy hunter. No excuse for that crap.
Hack comment. We know.
Hunters are just insecure people who are trying to compensate for something small 🤣

An acquaintance of mine has a son who is a taxidermist in Montana. To boost his business, his mother thought it would be a good idea if she shot a mountain lion for him to mount for his studio.. This is the part that I am against, they hire someone with dogs to find a mountain lion and tree the animal. They called her on the phone and she went to the general area where they located her and took her to where the mountain lion was in the tree and she shot it because she had a apparently a license to take a mountain lion. Hunting is one thing doing it like this is not my cup of tea.. I told her you must be real proud of yourself for doing this. No one in our circles of acquaintances or friends thought this was a great idea that she had.
Don't be a pussy.. that's how it's done.
I've seen them walking up and down at night on the Arkansas, right here in the middle of Tulsa Oklahoma.
It was nice seeing Steve Rinella again. I'm still watching Meat Eater episodes. There great educational videos👍😁
It's already illegal to hunt mountain lion in Tennessee and I think Florida👌
TBF they are illegal to hunt in Florida due to the Puma being a state animal.
And they say we do not have any in NC … I have never seen 1 but know of guys that have and I believe them 100%
@@MrWarren1991 affirmative.... I believe they are also endangered in Florida as well🤔
@nataliedeyton6829 we've had some sighted here in Kentucky but they was probably the one's passing through on the way to Tennessee🤔
The Florida panther is a critically endangered subpopulation of mountain lion. There's only around 200 left if that.
I know both sides of the argument pretty well. My grandfather killed over 3,000 wolves in Alaska as a part of trapping, guiding, and as a gun for hire with the USFWS on predator control.
I worked for an outfitter for a minute and didn't like the industry at all. Trophy hunters exist, and I call them killers rather than hunters. They just want to kill shit for the bragging rights. And, they don't want to put in the time and energy to honestly hunt.
At the end of the day there is a big difference between hunters and killers. The industry tends to market itself to the latter.
of course trophy hunters exist, there is big money in industry. wolves can be managed w/out amateur hunters getting a adrenaline rush and photo ops IMHO.
There are countless hunters that give real hunting a bad reputation. Steven is one of them. 🤣
Courageous of you to speak the truth. Game ranches and trophy hunters are scumbags.
@@acjohn6995
I'm not big on calling them "scum bags," What they are is elitists. They have a ticket for sale that is required by the state. The "guide" has a "hunter" without any knowledge of how to trek.
That's $18,000 from Spain for nothing. The hit man wanted to pick a bear from the herd we brought into camp. He wasn't a hunter.
I have a different view when it comes to the big game preserves in Africa. With how those countries are it seems that’s the only way to keep those species alive in those areas
I live in remote Powder River County with one side of the farm's fences the border of Custer National Forest. I loathe to be too specific in case some hunter sees this but regardless, I have a suspected lion den about ... ?5,000 yards from cabin? Perfect cave excavated out under debris in an ancient dump. Lots in area by tracks and rancher sightings; I'm new here. Just into private property but CNF only yards away leading to prime hunting habit in forested canyons beyond.
Luckily this is a chunk that is a logistic nightmare to access, requiring miles of backtrack after a legal crossing w/o roads or trails. Unless they go through this land that touches a corner. Then it's a 15 minute hike. Last year I allowed 2 parties due to their being new, respectful and wide-eyed newbies. Damn if they didn't get their trophy elks within a HOUR. 6-12 big bulls still up there but no more permissions. Locked gate and sign this year so I don't risk allowing it; I can be a softie if I sense good people. Yammer aside, the lions have NEVER caused a problem despite loose cats and lots of various livestock. Leave them alone.
My family and I went camping out at Turquoise Lake in Colorado a few years ago. Long story short, we had to leave around 2 in the morning. I’m ABSOLUTELY positive I seen a wolf coming down the mountain. He or she was so freaking beautiful. Absolutely massive dog I was so excited and freaked out at the same time I yelled out loud and woke up the wife and kids lol.
It’s funny to me how much of a gatekeeper Joe is when it comes to bow hunting. As a life long bow hunter and hunting guide in New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas…we aren’t elitist like Joe is. Joe is the picture perfect example of someone who came into the hunting world late in life and now tries to inflate his own self worth as a hunter by acting as if only the best, most in shape, and disciplined people can do it. Anyone can learn to bow hunt. You don’t need a mantra and you’re not sub par if you use a whisker biscuit. If you ambush hunt, or hunt in a stand you’re not less of a hunter than some who does still/stalk hunting. You don’t have to hike 5 miles into the backcountry. You can hunt in your back 40 and it’s just as valid. It’s really funny to listen to Joe on this topic because he really isn’t as well versed as he thinks he is…he just repeats what he hears other people say. The guys a goofball.
Everybody should learn to hunt…even if that means sitting in a blind with a feeder. As long as you’re ethical, safe, and careful about which animal you choose to take.
😂 In what twisted universe is “sitting in a blind with a feeder” “ethical”?
@@lowellcalavera6045 I can see hunting boar/feral pigs as they are invasive, but that is funny about a blind and feeder is "hunting".
I disagree with they all hate hunters, I have a lot of friends who are animal rights activists, they don’t hate hunting of deer, elk, pronghorn, sheep, moose and etc, they hate hunting of bears, mountain lion, coyote and wolves for some reason, but let’s be honest, there a lot of hunters who hate animal rights activist, it’s both sides. Yes I’m a big game hunter also.
Nice debate, love it. BTW is Cam wearing a Rootbeer?
Delete this comment. It stinks.
Rinella & Hanes on the same Pod... this is better than the Superbowl
PETA had massive protest in an area of my state many years ago that year they canceled the Fall deer hunting season the result was more dear died from starvation and malnutrition than if they were managed through hunting responsible hunting
Peta puts down thousands of dogs and cats each year.
It’s true. And if there was a healthy, controlled (by hunting) predator population then the deer wouldn’t starve as much. More of them would be prey to predators.
Where and when was that?
Deer eat leaves, so you saying they ran out of leaves? Stop making sh** up.
There is something that happens every year that causes starvation in overpopulated areas, it's called winter.@@_permanence
How about them thinking it's a good idea to introduce Grizzly bears in Northern Arizona animal population. I'd rather only have the Black Bears, especially when having one walk up on me and only being about 20 yards away from me. Scary shit
they want to do that in CO too
They did just release grizzly in Colorado
@@JonnyG0969 really? fuck...
Hi Joe, I'm from Germany and love to watch your podcasts. I imagine if you invite Billy Carson to you and discuss his research of Annunaki and the origins of humankind, based on recent discoveries. Hope you will see it. Have a good one
Any species management should be decided by conservation agencies using science based population management strategies.
It should NEVER be done by ballot measure.
This is the kind of subject that needs to be debated. Not just have a one sided conversation.
I did a lion hunt in Nevada. It was a serious process I’d only do once. I went to Vegas afterwards and met an Uber driver from Cameroon. He had no idea he moved from lions to mountain lions and we had a good laugh about it
What a strange fake story. Why make that story up and lie like that?
The cougars in Vegas are quite different.
I used to hunt to eat not for trophies.
Example read about the Lewis and Clark expedition to Oregon
Ego hunting is probably more accurate
it is still a trophy if you post it on instagram is the way I see it. They aren't hunting for food, they can get food from the store. They are hunting cause they want to kill shit (with no real effort either)
@@monkeycaboose6872 "they can get food from the story" boy are you fucking serious what the hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that you Karen ?
@@JohnSmith-j7n my point is they aren't hunting for food since they can get food much easier by just buying it. They are rich, they don't need to kill they just do it cause they want to feel something and they've made it their identity.
I can understand to keep mountain lion population in check. I don't think mountain lions have any known predators except man. But they are beautiful animals and they do eat other animals to keep that population in check as well.
But when there are too many mountain lions, they do more than keep things in check.
@@worldobserver3515 read the first sentence of his comment......
When I was installing air conditioning system on this residential house out of town of Fayetteville Arkansas, like toward Goshen, a Wolf brung me a rock that was bigger than a softball and wanted to play, threw it couple of times an took a picture b4 the last throw then went back to work upstairs in the attic, few days later on my way back to work I seen the whole wolf pack crossing the road an I was like damn oh sh*t that was a wolf I was playing with other day like I'm lucky I didn't smell like food
"Nobody does that", Yes.. they do..
I live in Australia, and a friend of mine worked as a 'deckie' on a Super yacht which travelled a ludicrous distance for seemingly no purpose.. only for him to find out they'd brought back the taxidermy of an endangered species (which the owner had shot) from one country back to the owner's estate in Texas (US).. running costs were x6figures to do that journey.
Unless it's a nuances to the community, an obviously it's being hostile, a mountain lion, and wolves are apex predators an are a vital role to the entire ecosystem of an area, and shouldn't be hunted, it's pretty much trophy hunting outside of those circumstances, if it's not hostile, especially a mountain lion or wolf it's just a big cat and dog, but have to respect the fact they're wild, feral, animals, an you can't be stupid and forget that fact, and taking away mountain lions, and wolves food and they eat elk will lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem, to the plant seeds in the elks droppins, and lead to more hostility of nature, due to basic necessity of life.
I hate the "wolves kill livestock, poor ranchers" argument in Colorado because any livestock lost a wolf is being compensated at double market price.
You don't get the point, it's your tax dollars paying me ranchers, your state just fucked you
Seriously I want a diverse ecosystem if ranchers were never compensated yeah change that so theu are but barely any livestock will be affected and theu get ample compensation
I learn so much on this channel! The Egypt theories are just amazing! I went down the Joe Rogan wormhole last night 😅
Mounting Lions attacked a couple dogs recently in summit county Colorado. Mitigation is key! Sitting on the Polis just wanted credit for the reintroduction of wolves even though they came in naturally....
700 acres in Maine. Nobody is stopping me.
Mt. Lions in Maine??
Hunting as a resource. Silly goose
98,000 acres for me no one is stopping me
8 million acres here..
1million acres no one is going to stop me.
California banned it now we have an estimated 7000 mt lions in the state.
What a fake statistic, you liar. Why lie about something like that? Very strange…
And destroyed the deer population
The Cougars are very dangerous in Orange County Ca. They will DESTROY your wallet!
I was really hoping that Joe was going to imitate a Mountain Lion 😁
If you are aren't eating it, it's trophy hunting.
