[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 84038, member: 428"] They tried to stay very unbiased about it, but I got that their stance was that lions are a PITA but we want to sustain a population so we can keep hunting them. Because lions are neat and hunting is neat. However, somebody brought up the idea of a tag system for lions instead of a quota. Jeb seemed pretty keen on the idea and likened it to how unfair it would be if we had a quota on mule bucks. I really hope they don't fudge this up with a lottery. There were several underhanded references made to GNF planting lions and laughs were had. They said the survivability of their collared lions over the last 15 years has averaged only 42%, meaning after they collar lions, only 42% make it through to the next year. However, the sample size was only about 24 lions and they sometimes recollar the same lions. I asked about this and she said they try to trap lions throughout the breeding area and their methodology and tactics are consistent with what other biologists do and they generally see a 70% survivability rate.
