Don , the cats are an issue. My buddy hunts cats and there are some right around the town of Cadomin often enough. He says that they can't let the dogs loose because they will most likely end up on the mine chasing the cat and end up in trouble so they don't bother.
I bet there are a lot of areas like this where you just can't risk it so the predators are safe.
Why can't fish and wildlife help out in these situations and find a way to legally take out some of the predators on the mine. Hire a worker of the mine to aid in making sure things go smoothly and nobody gets hurt.
Take out a few cats around there with a couple houndsmen and save a few sheep.
Wolves do get blamed for a lot I know but I think I mentioned it earlier that I have seen wolves the last 2 times out there and both times on the mine. I doubt they stray far from the boundary as they got whatever they need right there.
