Montana Bob, EKM - Don't you see we already agree. You guys are saying things like "I am consistently amused how either everyone is silent about this stuff or it is poo-poo'd as not relevant." Lets use buck59's post as common ground since you were applauding it. He says in his post "we do not want to eliminate any one species just control it." He gave evidence why we should. In an earlier post I said that I agreed that wolves are beginning to be a problem in a few areas. Thats what I've been saying all along. The whole point of this thread was to bring the people against wolves breathing earthly air, and those for it to common ground. But because we disagree on whether wolves hould exist you guys continue to argue when we're all saying the same thing about how wolves should be managed. Not one person here has said keep them listed and\or under the FED's control.

"I hope it won't be long intill wolf hunting will be legal and hunted like we do Cats with a quota". How many times has everyone said that Montana Bob? Why are you continuing to throw that out like its in dispute. We've all said this a thousand times.

De-list them, states should have control, we should have population caps, problem animals should be destroyed or moved, if a significant effect on other species begins to happen then an emergency plan to reduce wolf pops needs to be issued, wolves are already causing problems in some areas.

Why are we even arguing about this issue anymore? We all agree on the above paragraph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
