Managing a Migratory Species That Is Both a Value and a Pest

Wild animals can represent both value and nuisance. We consider the moose (Alces alces), which due to seasonal migration causes browsing damage in some areas, while creating hunting value in other areas. We first explore a situation when harvesting, following today’s practice in Norway, only takes p...
