Interesting Study on Hikers and Wildlife Impact

[IDVortex]

I agree that hikers disrupt wildlife to a degree. But I've done enough hiking in my life to know that popular areas that have a higher amount of hikers, the animals adapted and lived fine.

If it was such a issue, the PCT has really wrecked wildlife, and I never noticed that hiking parts of it.

The whole things is BS. Everyone knows it’s only shed hunters that disrupt wildlife!
