I didn't know that. The last thing a hunter or anyone eles for that matter needs is a felony wrap against them.What if you need to kill the wolf in lets say a self defense kind of sitituation,how could the warden prove you different? Are ranchers permited to kill them if they become a livestock threat?
I fish on a shallow lake in upstate NY called Black Lake. The lake is renouned for it's bass fishery.There's about a dozen camps on the lake and roughly about another dozen bussiness' that count on that fishery for these bussiness' to survive.
Well a few years back they developed a Cormorant problem,these birds were devouring fish.It's a federaly protected bird.
To make a long story short the locals "fixed" the Cormorant issue on their own to protect their livelyhood.
My point is sometimes you got take care of these issues cause the misinformed "tree huggers" have a louder voice & heavier wallet than we do with people in politics.
