How's the beach? I agree with you that the debate about <a href='http://skolaiimages.com/journal/2008/03/12/say-no-to-aerial-predator-extermination-in-alaska/' rel="nofollow">aerial predator control</a> should focus on the actual legislation the issue of whether or not predator control is (a) ethical, (b) practical and (c) well managed is another issue. The current focus should be on insisting sound science be the fundamental governance for managing populations, and the voice of the community should not be allowed to be silenced. Hopefully legislators will heed the call of good sense and do the right thing. It's been known to happen. Cheers Carl Hey Dad,

However I did want to support Ron's comment; I found your posts on the aerial predator issue and the oil-drilling proposal both interesting and informative(I didn't get much out of your MP3 posts as I couldn't hear any music- Australia is probably too far away for it to be effective here). I'm a little disappointed that no one took up your arguments/analysis about the SB176 and HB348 legislation. The debate tended to focus on the rights and wrongs of the management/harvesting/predators vs.other game issues etc. I am happy to leave that debate to those who know more about it than I do. Though If your summary of the legislation is correct - if the intent of the Board of Game legislation is to ignore scientific opinion and the voice of the community, then I suspect this is where the debate needs to focus. To me this would be a bigger and more immediate worry than the number of wolves/bears Vs. moose/caribou etc. Maybe this is one of those 'nefarious breezes' you referred to in an earlier post, now blowing over Alaska. Cheers and Good Luck on your trip to , and next venture to McCarthy Dad Hey Carl,

Yeah, I'm kinda bummed I've already missed so much of March out there .. so I'm keen to get back before the snow's gone. As for the posts, I appreciate it bro - a little homework never hurt anyone (I hope my dad doesn't read that - I'm sure he'll make some wise-a** comment about me not doing homework, or any kind of work). Cheers Carl Hey Ron,
