Bryan, this is what people mean when they refer to "false news." When was Vic in charge of Mulchatna caribou? The rise in the Mulchatna herd preceded implementation of the state's IM law. Fish and Game tried its best to increase human harvest of Mulchatna caribou because too many caribou would overuse the range resulting in a population crash. The crash was what caribou herds do naturally; it was not the result of mismanagement. Changes to hunting seasons and bag limits of predators is not an effective way to reduce numbers of predators, that's why the state shoots wolves from planes and helicopters.  Wolves and bears didn't "wipe out" moose populations in the Mulchatna drainage. And I don't know of any "waste land" or "biological desert" in Alaska except some of the large airports where most wildlife species are actively excluded and shot on sight for human safety reasons.
