NPR Trophy Hunting article

[S.Clancy]

Takes a population of around 100 to almost 6000. Pretty bold move to hunt them at that low level.

Good read. Seen some interesting stuff from NPR lately. They had a fairly balanced article in grizzlies. They went full chicken little on CWD in deer though. I am not sure if their attention is a good thing or a bad thing but living the last 20 years behind enemy lines as a closet redneck in Los Angeles and now in/near NYC, I can tell you that NPR will do a lot to shape the liberal crowd’s view on any topic.

Nice.
The best way to protect and restore a species is to put a hunting season on it.

That’s a good article. It also illustrates the fact that US-based armchair experts can rarely understand the complexities on the ground somewhere else. This guy has been there, seen the positive effects and does not apologize for them. Glad to see it.

When there is no local incentive to protect the animals, that is exactly right.

Yea, it's nice to see some logic being applied over there.
