First of all.....elk and deer are here for all to enjoy..not just for "sport hunters" as some of you refer too.

Arguments about keeping nature in balance by only humans hunting them is not viable. Either us humans under hunt or over hunt. Wolf populations will not destroy all of your elk, but ignorance will. Perhaps the government needs to allow hunting in over populated elk areas, just as I agree California has made a mistake with bans on cougar hunts. And if wolves overpopulate, then limited hunting of wolves could be utilized. If wildlife biologists were allowed to do their job, instead of politicians and the unknowing public using thir emotions, we would all be better off.

This coming from a diehard hunter, but a fan of all wildlife. Read the true hisory about wolves killing humans................very very few wolves have ever taken a human life. I think what it boils down to is a few do not want to share the earth. It smells of greed.
