Default RE: Colorado beware of wolves

ORIGINAL: DM

Those who don't want the wolves retroduced, have seen FIRST HAND what they are like!! AND, those that want them, have NEVER lived with them!!! All they do is spout second hand data and stories!!!

I lived around them for a LONG time, and i REPEAT, once you have them established, unless you live in town, you won't like them around!!!!
Sure there are no wolves here but its not like I'm a flat lander. I live, hunt and work in the Rockies. There are bears and cougars here. They all kill in the same manner, their teeth. Its violent and not pretty with them all but thats nature. So thats fine you can call what I do "spouting" but to me spouting means I don't have any idea what I'm talking about. I admit it, I don't live around wolves however I do live amongst predatory animals.

I've been chased up a tree by a bear before and I soiled my pants but I'm not advocating thier extinction. I once had a friend screeming at me while I was walking up a draw as he was positioned on a vantage point while deer hunting. I looked above me and a cougar looked ready to pounce on me. Once he figured out I was human he bolted. I am not advocating thier extinction either. I've got a cougar stalking and killing a deer (buck) on video (I took myself while hunting deer), pretty violent. Thats the way God made it. Oh yeah and we have livestock casualities also around here, makes the local papers when it happens.

Do you somehow think a bear or cougar kills in a different manner? There may be small detailed differences but the point is they all kill and I live amongst them. I am also faced with having them here soon so I think I'm doing a little more than just spouting. So maybe I don't live in the "bush" but its not like I live in candyland either.

Just out of curiousity what is your view on bears? Cougars?
