SHTF ! I have a pretty good handle on the circle of life and it is my wish for humans to replace all apex predators. It can't be done is because of a lack of political will not for lack of physical ability. If we made the choice to eliminate the lions , grizzlies , wolves , and black bears we could step in and fill their function for human benefit. Smaller predators would backfill all the smaller prey niches and humans would fill all the large animal management goals. Since the beginning of the 20th century that has been the norm for most of the country with the exception of black bears. All the studies about the over population of elk and it's consequences came from studies done on the unmanaged herds in Yellowstone park. Outside of the parks there were no major problems that couldn't be traced to political decisions.

i simply cant imagine going into the mountains knowing i will NOT see a bear,or know for sure that there is NOT a lion watching me right now.The feeling you get seeing a big fresh bear track in the trail ,or finding a lion track in your own track coming back is pure magic! It is something i hope might happen everytime i go out!
Eliminate all the predators? The Rockies dont deserve to be neutered like that.
Wasn't human involvment what happened to the buffalo?
