So now that the wolf population in Minnesota has recovered sufficiently to warrant them losing federal protection, it's time to start shooting them again, right?
I find this genuinely baffling. If the wolf population/distribution has been stable for the past ten years (controlling itself nicely, it seems), why do we need a wolf season? Or are we playing a new game in which we push a species to the point of needing federal protection, let it recover, and then drive it to the brink again, repeat ad nauseum? SOUNDS FUN.

how does that even make sense? "we don't want to reduce the population. so to keep from reducing the population, we're gonna let people kill 'em." O_o
