[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1819688, member: 39695"] There has to be a balance. If not eating livestock means destroying the elk and deer populations that’s a problem. I don’t have any firsthand experience with large predators. We have coyotes and very very few cougars. What we do have (and this is a really bad example) is raccoons. Those furry little garbage disposals destroy everything. They don’t directly harm cattle, but they destroy feed, poop on everything, chew everything. They are detrimental to ground nesting birds. Used to have enough pheasants and quail to hunt a little. Now I’m excited if I see any. We hunt, trap, and kill every raccoon we see. Some of us killed a bunch last fall that obviously were sick with something. Mother Nature trying to correct an over population. [/QUOTE]
