As sportsman we are supposed to be stewards of our natural systems. De-listing the wolves should not be seen as a victory for sportsman. I can only hope that protection can continue at the state level...which it most likely will. It never ceases to amaze me how the anti-wolf propaganda from the 1950's continues today; wolves are a vital part of the northern midwests ecosystem, not the ruthless savage killers they've been made out to be. Livestock damage tags and problem wolf tags are not necessarily a bad idea in "high" density areas, but if hunters continue to spread this fear mongering among our ranks we're going to see the extinction of wolves in our lifetime...which despite what some of you seem to think, would be a tragedy.
