I've seen the evidence, heard countless stories, and watched this thing play out over time. I'm man enought to admit when I'm wrong, to change my stance on something important. I don't do it often but I feel it needs to happen here.

Whenwolves were first reintroduced my thinking was "this sucks but soon we'll be able to hunt and limit them. It won't be a big deal and maybe even cool to see a few while out in the wilderness" Now I realize the political agenda of the bunny huggin groups was to make sure wolves were never delisted and they would spread like wildfire and drop big game numbers dramatically which would in turn eliminate the need for human intervention in managing big game herds. That means no more hunting!! I do believe that was their agenda from the beginning and they have been playing it very well.

With that being said.....I support any elimination of wolves. Not because I believe they are some super predator....but because I believe they will be used politically to stop hunting and as long as wolves roam the woods our privilege of hunting will always be a debate in some court room some where. And I believe we will be fighting wolves and wolf politics for the rest of our days.
