They act like the eco system is great now that the wolves have taken out a few Elk and the singing birds are back in the park.
Yes, the increased biodiversity supports more wildlife now.
The wolf population is notonly a 150 in YNP, they should read the latest that thier are over 500 wolves living in and around the park.
Yes, in 4 or 5 states.
Thats 500 wolves just in yellowstone. 4 or 5 states! Ha Ha, Your funny!!
Wolves kill for sport, they will take down a pregnant cow and eat only the fetus and leave the carcuss. If the wolves are not a problem, then why is Fish & Game trapping wolves in the south fork (flathead Valley) during the archery season and relocating?
uuuhhhh, ..... relocating because they killed a domestic cow ... on federal land? Federally protected wolves cannot be killed, only relocated. In Wisconsin we have over 500+ wolves in just the northern 1/3 of of the state. The state DNR was reciently allowed to shoot problem wolves. It always bothered me to hear people out west whine about 500 wolves in a area that covers parts of 5 states ...... When in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, there are now about 3,000 wolves.
Cow elk (duh)in or around the park. If a wolf killed livestock, fish & game would shoot it, not relocate it They don't relocate anything from federal land. Have you ever hunted in Mt or Idaho's big scary forest! We have encountered griz, black bears, wolves, mountain lion all during archery season and only lost one animal to a Griz. So come to Montana and hunt with the wolves! Will take you on a non sugar coated adventure in wolf territory. We hunt were a pack of 10 wolves now live and the elk are thinning out or leaving the area. The elk have been in this range for 15 years!!
The only thing we whine about in Montana is all the Wisconsin license plates in Eastern Montana or Dillon hunting antelope, mulies or elk. We whine about bowhunters that don't know what their doing hunting in a forest, then you have to help them get out of the forest. Don't get me wrong, wisconsin has some
great bowhunters. We met 2 great guys this archery season and they both tagged antelope.)
Lets all protect our wildlife and farm animalsfrom the wolves.
uuhhh, ..... wolves are wildlife too.
