The pre-post "intensive predator management"   harvest data and use of the Department's own assumptions in the analysis is simple, straight-forward, and the results clear:  Intensive predator killing ("slaughter?")  has had no effect on increasing moose harvests, regardless of the budget costs of the technique and the impact on wilderness wildlife balance. 
Like our Alaska climate change that we are living though - there will always be those who deny clear evidence that contradicts their wishes, but the model and resultant data are pretty powerful - and one can only hope for changes to the Board and to predator management policy that would recognize that.
