I might be out of line here but I think it's far too important to pass over;

I think by the time a decent hunting season would be fixed on wolves or bag limits, most of those animals would be serving as mounts on a wall or rugs in front of the fireplace.
These guys make sure something as survival of the fittest takes part, that means the deer we hunt will be big and strong and not weak offspring of inbreed deer.
The wolves chase the deer and other herbivores around and kill only the weak or sick animals, leaving the rest to breed and get bigger !!!
Another thing wolves do by chasing the grazers is that plants and trees get a better chance to regrow after being grazed,some nationalparks in the USlost a lot of it's trees due to lack of big predators chasing around the rest.......
I may not be an american, I may not be living in a country that has wolves or try to say I know best but I think moving the wolves of the endangered list will get them extinct.
And I know telling the story to your grandchildren how you shot and hunted wolves is not the same as going out with them and showing them what a fine and magnificent animal this creature is....
No I am not PETA, and yes I try to hunt and I eat meat !!!!

Interesting Frank. Do you know the history of the wolf in your own country?
There is quit a bit of history of the wolf in Europe. During the first century they roamed in packsof thousands.
Why is it that this animal gets people so emotional? I mean it's an animal that ripes and tears other creatures apart. Seems kind of odd that it would be so loved. Not like animals that don't bother other things, I could see that.
For the record I have no love for it, it's a wild dog in my eyes. Nothing personal in their eyes, it's the way they are. Nothing personal in my eyes. I just don't trust an animal that will attack me from behind and kill me and mine. Just the way I am and yes there's plenty of proof they have and will contray to the claims otherwise.
