This has proven very successful with animals like fisher and martin, wolverine, etc. Everyone gets their fair share and populations are generally increasing every year. It is the farthest thing from a free for all, in fact its intensive management just like we have here for big game and fish. The rich do not have an upper hand and don't have their own private wilderness retreat. I have a friend in Montana and he loves the freedom to trap where he pleases and does not fear the competition because he is a trapper not an oil executive or businessman. Fur bearers are not decimated just as resident trappers haven't decimated them here. Registered trappers here are subject to the same quota restrictions so obviously they are no better informed than the ordinary public.
I am not fearing the decimation of a deer herd, I am seeing it and living it, and have explained how bogus the reasons are for the decline.
I challenge you to explain what my personal agenda is. I find your remark uncalled for and very demeaning. What is my agenda?
