RE WILD LIFE CONTROL
Anything would help. We haven't had a county trapper for over 10 years and he covered three counties so we still had coyote problems. Now can't trap them, might get a neighbors dog running loose. Can't bait them, got to protect the turkey vultures. Got to be careful shooting them if you can spot them. Neighbors and roads too close. Guess the wife will keep putting the lambs in the barn every night. A close neighbor ran a cougar off in broad daylight last summer and we're only a couple of miles from town and within 1/2 mile of the highway. Not looking forward to cougars and wolves. They hunt at night when ewes and lambs must be checked on. Barn's about 50 yds from the house. Maybe we need a little more balance between protecting wildlife and protecting people's lives and livelihoods. Eat more lamb 100,000 coyotes can't be wrong!

By the way, your article left out the woman hiker killed late Aug/Sept this year on the Hunchback Ridge trail in the Mt. Hood forest and the cougar spotted in Miller's Woods.
