    How would the situation with the wolf (regardless of its status with the state of WY in that specific area) not fall under an animal cruelty scenario? In other words, why would game laws or regulations have to specify not doing things that are already against the law in terms of “animals”?

    This is where I 100% disagree with Steve.
    2022 there were 14.4 million hunters.
    In 2006 there were only around 11 million. Hunter numbers are up.
    Steve you're only taking this stand point because you know that many of those tags are given to landowners and they are easily sold to the highest bidder.
    You Steve benefit from that because unlike us it's just a business expense. You can't say you're for something and that everyone else is because you and people like you gain alot from it.

    @bradv505 3 месяца назад

    Our biggest problem we have in New Mexico is our E plus system. Over 30 percent of our tags go to the E plus system which only bennifits the people selling the tags. They next highest state that has an E plus system is at 2 percent of their tags going to private land owners. Until we fix that we will never get opportunities like we used too. If they would make private land owner tags specific to hunting the private land that they paid for, then it would have no effect. These guys get "private" land owner tags and are able to hunt the public land too. Its ridcoulous and hurts the residents of NM. Im all for non residents getting tags but it shouldnt be a buy system. They should have to put in just like the rest of us and if they dont draw then they shouldnt have the easy option of just being able to buy a tag with the same accesses of drawing one. Just my opinion. For any non resident who doesnt agree, I want you to take 30+ percent of your states tags and see how you guys feel about it. Im sure you opinions will be them same.

    "Ha! If anti-hunters get what they want it's all going away..." So can you ensure through some crafty compromise with those folks you can somehow protect hunting with more laws? And avoid that slippery slope Steve mentions so often???? Also, when hunters disagree with you, that doesn't make them against conservation, it makes them against those that continually rewrite the definition of Conservation on their terms alone, and continually decrease the value of hunting in said definition.

      The scientists that regulate the hunting industry are incentivized by hunters. the purchase of hunting licenses are what pays for and funds their research. Unlike the pharmaceutical industry, the hunting regulatory agencies are not driven based off corporate greed, but rather the pursuit of strengthening wildlife habitat, which in turn helps hunter success rates and increases the future purchases of licenses. The more license purchases, the more funding for these regulatory agencies. That’s how a functioning government agency should work.

      ​@@Michael-z7b5s To continue with your metaphor: There are a lot of perfect doctors too, but the fact is the information/science they are being fed isn't accurate.
      I'm not against Conservation and government's involvement, but the idea that their science is infallible, or even in good faith a majority of the time is laughable. There's a lot right with it, but there's so much changing in what we know about agriculture, sustainability, and the inner-mingling of ag and wildlife that especially the government, and those in charge from top to bottom of these agencies screw up from merely suffering the human condition...which especially science in any industry these days are not immune to. IF people in society can screw it up, then so can those human scientists, through greed, bias, laziness, etc. I will admit the fact that funding being driven by the hunting industry to support the conservation of wildlife, land and hunting is a powerful thing. But that too gets twisted by those against hunting because they're in charge, or at least involved at many levels everywhere. And, we must NOT offend this noisy minority at any cost. My point, let's keep the faith, but not over trust these agencies by handing them more and more power. We need to own it to a greater extent, even if we somehow believe they are handling it perfectly. I'll admit to the Hunting/Conservation is good, but certainly not great. And, only a downgrade to make the move of pretending MORE legislation is the clear fix.

    Society is changing. A lot. As much as we love hunting and our lifestyle, if we have two neurons, we have to acknowledge that it is over, and we have to move on. They won, we lost. Its over. Move on.

    I dont have the energy to watch this. Just wanted to call out the viewers and commenters for being so shallow and prioritizing your recreation over conserving wildlife and reintroducing predators to their native range.
    6% of the population hunt (significantly less hunt big game). And though over 95% of hunters eat their kills, only between 16-35% hunt for the sole purpose of procuring meat (in the U.S., according to conflicting sources). So, why should we allow such a minority of the population's want for recreation over reintroducing keystone species? Sure, hunting provides funding for conservation efforts, but to think that there isnt enough tax money for conservation efforts without funding from the P-R act, Duck stamp act, etc. is honestly just silly. It shouldnt even be a discussion. As a biologist, I'm ashamed that these people encourage finding a middle ground. We've tolerated selfish, ignorant, and entitled "sportsmen" for way too long.
    Truly can wait for the Good Ol' Boy, anthropocentric mentality of "everything exists for our use and pleasure" to die out. I wont even entertain responding to any comments unless it's clear you've at least read Richard Mackie's "History of Management of Large Mammals in North America".

      You don't have the energy but are willing to ignorantly determine what the shows about? You call yourself a scientist but ignore key information being printed and just pull a summary out of thin air? Not very scientific of you. They don't talk about reintroduction or bring up being against it at all. They spend a great deal of time discussing the importance of predators on the landscape. This episode focuses on the ballot box biology happening in Colorado, which is ignoring biologists in the state. Stop being so ignorant.

      I agree. I stopped watching without Steve. Even if they have him every few times. Recently he hasn't been there in a long time.
