Friends who live on Kodiac, tell me all the hunters have had an affect on brown bear population dynamics. Everybody wants the big bear. In the past, those huge grizz down there killed off many of the younger bear, kept the balance right. Now, there's an imbalance with all kinds of 400-500 lb brown bear nobody wants to shoot when they are paying huge sums to the guides who gladly make promises and take their money. Bigger brown bear are few and far between, almost nonexistent friends claim.

Where I live the explosion of wolves have hurt the moose more than anything else.
