they will release a bunch of coyotes...that will fix the problem like it did (not ) do here. now you not only have a chance of clunking a deer with your car you get to run over coyotes as well...
Try telling me that they don't know

One of the reason the balance is so skewed, especially in California, is because the top predators have been removed.
The Wolves, Grizzlies and mountain Lions kept everything in check. The next level down, were the black (or brown) Bears, the Bobcats and the Coyotes...when you remove several key species from the structure, it will tumble.

the problem is wolves and lions will also take down humans....griz will too but to a way lesser extent. I can deal with coyotes...if they started reintroducing panthers and wolves in the woods here it would make hiking a little more....exciting...lol
Some divvy group wants to re introduce wolves to "remote areas" of Scotland. You know the remote areas that fell walkers love to walk in. I hope they use those trained wolves that stay where you release them!

The problem is, do these alpha predators have enough game to sustain them?
Chances are, before the wolf population was decimated, there was ample game available. I can guarentee you this is not the case today and so they will look elsewhere for food, like sheep, cattle and small pets.
It's like the California Condors who are a last vestige of a long gone epoch. Simply due to the shifting climate over the centuries, there is no longer the deep conifer forests and large game that these monsterous scavengers need to sustain themselves and yet, the conservationists continue to try and save them by releasing them into the lower Sierras where the region is semi-arid and has little in the way of game.

I wish. The Army shoes would make better jerky than your deer. With the fires near here I can find plenty of pre-cooked critters, but some might be a little too well done.Oh Yea...well.... your mother wears Army shoes!!!
I have an uncle-in-law that turns are that beautiful meat into sausage??? In any case California deer come pre-roasted, smoked, and jerked lately
There are conifer forests but also huge open spaces of moorland hills and mountains, I am not an expert but wolves dont hunt for fitness. Given the choice between chasing a deer ar a family I would take the family, were I a wolf.

wolves rarely hunt alone. several years back they took down a lady jogger up in Alaska. small children would be a tempting target for them. coyotes are the same...they hunt in packs. as GG mentioned above if food becomes scarce they will become bolder out of necessity....but i am more worried about a rabies out break among them. a rabid raccoon or possum is one thing but a rabid coyote??

dunno...a deer has to taste far better than those stringy, smelly humans...

Monkey is pretty close (dead on in some). Tasted OK but with all the spices??? Finding the little hand was a turn off
Deer can run fast and fight when cornered. Humans have boots and rucksacks, like a MacDonalds not great but fast food.

Once they scare the crap out of you then you might not taste too bad.

that's why sharks always spit after they take a bite of humans
