FW: [RC] How tree hugging hurts the environment - Mike Sherrell

A lot of archaeologists say that early North American humans exterminated a
bunch of big game species like the mammoths and giant sloths too. The older
I get the more misanthropic I become. How many species are we going to
eliminate with global warming?

Likewise the deer and elk populations that were nearly nonexistent here 200
years ago (as documented by Lewis and Clark--the Shoshoni Indians here had
to go over into Montana and risk the wrath of other tribes in order to find
any big game to hunt) are now burgeoning--thanks mostly to the improvement
of habitat that has come about through good grazing practices and good
logging practices.

 There are still deer, antelope and elk grazing...alongside the cattle.
Our area is not native land for antelope and elk, but we have more deer than
you can believe.  Around here, the native peoples burned the land so that it
produced more of the vegetation deer prefer and so the deer were easier to
hunt.  Burning also encouraged the growth of wild berries.

   There were deer, antelope and elk grazing and browsing and Indians doing
burns before they were all killed or driven off by the cattlemen.
