Last week in Whitehorse, the Yukon Wolf Conservation management review board held its final public meeting. They have held meetings in all Yukon community's to get the publics opinion on revising the wolf management plan. In every community they have heard the same thing over and over.... we have a wolf problem. Strong support in all community's for some type of management of our wolf population was voiced. It looks like they will use an "incentive" program for trappers/hunters. This will work by giving a certain amount of money per wolf.
The part Alaskans might find interesting was a retired biologist spoke at the Whitehorse meeting about your program and how horrible it is. A local outfitter had some hard data on your program and gave a very good rebuttal.
