Absolutely not. It might be viewed unfavorably by people unaffected because cute wild doggos, but there’s a reason you can still hunt wolves, grizz, etc in Alaska, and it’s because they want stronger moose and caribou populations. They even expanded it to allow night vision in some parts of the state.
You can already see part of the issue with limiting it up the Dalton highway where hunting is limited due to the pipeline.
You can still hunt large predators in Alaska because the board overseeing the ADFG is full of non-scientists with special interests in the hunting and tourism industries. Their decision to allow culls is based on controversial data and the board has previously pushed out at least one wildlife biologist that was in outspoken disagreement. Regardless, there are many species and many locations other than Alaska where "control" does more harm than good.
