Default RE: RMEF and wolves

Some of you might find this entertaining. An article written in the Casper Star Tribune a couple of weeks ago said a scientest had done extensive research and concluded that hunters and the drought have a much larger impact on the Yellowstone elk herd than wolves and are to blame for the large decrease in the herd over the last ten years. He says the fact that the wolf reintroduction program started about ten years ago is purely coincidence. By the way, lets not forget that hunting is illegal in Yellowstone! While I did find the article semi-humorous just because its a joke that someone would actually believe such things, I was dissapointed that Wyoming's most popular newspaper ran such a ludacris article on the front page
