Yeah that's what the anti's are saying too. Let the wolves in, there are too many deer an elk anyway and they will manage your game herds just fine. You make perfect sense.....just wondering whose side your on?
The late cow hunts are a great way for hunters to hunt a different time of year and get some meat. Don't forget about the young hunters and hunters that have other obligations during the traditional fall hunts that can hunt a different time of year.
Tang we've gone round and round on this issue. Again it's not the competition we are concerned about as much as it's the political implications, you know the whole "wolves are allowed to expand with no management" thing. Remember you don't have that problem in Canada. Do you remember the discussion around what the RMEF stated on the moving goal line? First the goal was 200 in Yellowstone, then they are branching out all over the west and populations are over 2000 and now the courts say we can't manage them ANYWHERE until they are re-established EVERYWHERE. I'm telling you that in this country the wolf is intended to be used as a means to abolish hunting.
Some of you are missing the boat on what's happening.
