Wolves and elk
FHRCAS0HLXZCA1GBLCPCA7P1QHZCACY0ZO0CAB40VHOCAZGADFACA080FLZCAF6FGOMCA0C3KYKCABH4ST0CA9XASP0CAO0E.jpgA couple of my buddies have stopped hunting in ID cause they will hike in 20 miles and see nothin but wolf tracks. If you read field and stream or outdoor life or really any hunting magazine their is at least one story about it. The elk outfitters I work for are getting very worried, cause If we dont do somethin about these elk killers Ut, Mt, WY could all end up like ID. The wolves are making the elk act like whitetails, You have to look in the thick brush and steep hill sides to find A elk ( at least that is what I have heard it is like in ID ).
But if the tree huggers and antiwolf killers wont let us make a move, The elk could take the place of the wolves on the endangerd list.
What thoughts do you guys have on this?

You'll find on these boards there aren't a lot of wolf fans at all.
I for one hope wolves stay out of Utah as long as possible. From what I hear they are having a major impact around Yellowstone and in Idaho and I don't want to find out if the rumors are true in my own backyard.
Many on these boards, without naming names, preach the SSS method. Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.

Ya I figured that were not many wolf lovers on here. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. My job lies at stake as well mine and your passion if these wolves arent taken care of.

The guys that hunt Idaho know just how bad it really is. It is only a matter of time before they spread and infect the other western states. Only man can stop them and they need to do it through hunting or any other means to kill them. Elk hunting suffers wherever they take hold.

That is exactly the reason why the wolf problem exists today.
You have you guys that advocate SSS and on the other side of the fence you have the tree huggers that advocate protecting every single one of them. Both of you do so damn the consequences. Both of you are your own worst enemies.
Until both sides of the fence can come together for the better of the animals you both are doomed to simply fight in circles and accomplish nothing worth while.
