1) Pay for sharpshooters to handle the problem. This would be very costly. A terrible use of state dollars.
2) Let the state handle the hunts. Sure they take in some money, but they spend a lot of money too. I understand that many state employees were on hand for the past hunts. Financial outcome - dead even
3) Let a group like BHA handle the hunt. It costs the state nothing and they don't have the headaches associated with it. Financial outcome - dead even with less headaches.
To me it's a win-win situation but somehow all the conspiracy theorists are going to find a way to make something negative out of it.
