RE: Wolves KILL hounds!!
I hate to say it, butscenarios such as this onewere pretty much predicted by an oldrancher up in Hinton, Alberta upon observing thecapturing ofgray wolves for import into the USA in the 1990s. I'm thinking our grandfathers knew exactly what they were doing in dealing with wolves 2 generations ago and I approve of their earlier plan for the more populated, more domesticated lower 48.
Unfortunately, the quest to turn the West into anature observation laboratory/zoo is well underwayand it is likely that at some pointwe won't needto concern ourselves abouthunting licenses for big game. I'm glad my boys and I got to see it all while it was in its heyday and for that I am thankful. Fond memories.The next generation in my family will likely not completely believethe past abundanceand will likely discount accounts of it as "old-timer-good-old-days-gone-by" nostalgia.
Point, Set, and quite likely Match.
IMO, the enviros have pretty much already won, it is likely that it is just going to take a little while for what was a very masterful plan on their partto play itselfout. They could still fail; however, they are an organized, well financed, and highly motivated opponent. Combine that with the current day media and our current social trends [:'(]and the handwriting is just about "on the wall."
