What a selfish bunch of hipocrites some hunters are. We claim that hunting is needed to keep animal populations in check, but the minute another animal starts doing what they've done for thousands of years, you start whining. Get over it.
It also seems clear the intent of this post is simply to stir crap. Someone has too much time on their hands.
Edit: This is not in reply to Farm Hunter's post,his issimply the post I hit the reply button in.
BS. Here we go again. Somebody from back east pretending to know whats good for us out here in the west. If the goal is to establish wolf populations in native areas, then lets put them in Chicago. Of course we won't. They fed mandates they go out here, and we local tax payers get stuck for the tab regulating them even on state land. It is a different time now, the wolf no longer belongs here. Wolf re-introduction is supported by, and was put into law by extreme environmental groups, the same ones that want to BAN hunting. That have outmanuevered the hunting community by doing a brilliant end around. The USFS is closing roads daily, and the wolf numbers go unchecked. We have already lost tags and seasons for elk do to wolf predation, and the numbers continue to sink. Get it through your heads, this is a covert attack on hunting by animal extremist. It is a concerted effort to remove man as the primary controlling force in wildlife populations. The ecosystem mangement principle is bunk. Our ecosystem has radically changed from 100 years ago and re-introdcing a super-predator to an area devoid of such for 10 decades isn't going to reverse that change.[:@]
