Dr. Vic Van Ballengberghe's  op ed 2 weeks ago exposing Intensive Management (IM) as flawed wildlife  policy must be considered the research of a most distinguished Alaska moose/predator biologist with 4 decades of accumulated knowledge and expertise just cannot be tossed aside, sorry for your self-serving polemic Mr Dale. The  slaughtering  hundreds of bears and wolves shooting from helicopters  and fixed wing as you say, works. It kills. A veritable wildlife holocaust. To victimized wildlife you're wildlife terrorists Alaska Board of Game and lapdog ADFG biologist assassins.  And cost?   2013 Upper Tanana $12,790 per wolf; 2012-15 North Slope IM 7 bears at #49,986 per bear; 2012-15 Koykuk $12,692 per wolf (there's more). 2012-15 IM killing and research: $5,237,500. Bankrolling slaughter with license fees means you think you own the process.  WRONG!  Especially egregious; a majority of Alaskans don't hunt but all are unrepresented stakeholders.  IM is Alaska's self inflicted soiling.
