We SAVED the Wolf, but Destroyed the Wilderness!

Описание: There is an old saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. For decades, we were told that if we just stopped logging, stopped grazing, and reintroduced wolves, nature would "balance itself."

We bought the ideology. Now, we are paying the price in blood and biology.

In this stream, I’m breaking down the actual data from the Frank Church Wilderness—the scorecard of failed conservation. We look at how fire suppression created "Green Deserts," how modern logging created "Tick Nurseries," and how the wolf reintroduction didn't just lower elk numbers—it kept them from ever coming back.

What we cover in this video:

The Scoreboard: Looking at the undeniable crash of Elk (down 60%) and Moose (season closed) in the Frank Church.

The Tick Bomb: How overgrown forests and lack of fire are causing "Ghost Moose" to be eaten alive by 30,000+ ticks.

The Ecological Trap: Why modern logging without burning is actually making the problem worse.

The Cowboy Solution: The controversial plan to fix it (Log, Burn, and Graze).

If you care about the future of hunting, public lands, and true conservation, you need to see these numbers.

Let me know in the comments: Do you think we can fix this, or have we tipped the scales too far?
