Default RE: Mountain States Elk Hunting Opportunities, Something Wicked Your Way Comes

Bad luck there Rob. It must be disheartening to see how much the environment can be screwed up by the misguided opinions a few people. Somehow I am surprised the wolf pack got to the size and range that it has in such a short time. With all the ranches you would have thought farmers would have kept them down. Nature has a way to balance itself assuming man doesn’t get involved. With wild game hunting as a form of population to habitat control it seems ridiculous to re-introduce an efficient predator like a wolf and not have the same standards. Good luck for the future and hopefully this ridiculous re-introduction will stop. As an interesting side note some groups are also looking to re-introduce them to the vast stretches of Maine too.
