Before the Lynx ITP was applied for the state was ( Or said they were!) working on the ITP to get the snaring back. We were told that it was sent to the feds. Later learned that It had never left Elowe's desk Keep in mind that we have a large area that are not In the designated lynx areas. Down east Washington County, Over here In western Maine, Yet the state stopped the coyote control state wide. Inside and outside the lynx areas --And look what's happened to the deer.

HSUS or a better abbreviation for The Humane Socierty of The United States H$U$ just ranked each state as the most humane. Kaliforniastan of course Is #1--Our deer-less state of Maine ranked #3 and tied with Massachusetts.
