Exactly. VVB knows that many factors are involved. That is why he is using a short time frame to a long term solution. The only hope the antis have is to use this narrow time frame now because in the extended future the many factors involved will even out and allow the overall benefits to be counted. VVB knows the average moose hunter success statewide is generally less that 10% and that number can be greatly influenced by a new influx of GIs or a deployment of them as has happened many times during this time frame. When VVB considers the cost to benefit ratio he makes another accounting trick by failing to mention the moose and their value that will be taken in the future as a result of past predator control. Immediate benefit is not ever going to happen and was never envisioned. Predator control accounts for managing all wildlife, not just moose, caribou and sheep. Togiak went from no moose to abundant moose by simply lengthening the spring bear season. Give it time. It works.
