Not so fast....it's still a little early to claim your victory on this. EKM you are an intellegent guy but throughout this whole process I've never seen you be able to "see" that there are two aspects of the wolf re-intro.

First you have the "is the wolf a super predator that kills and eats everything but the clouds in the sky debate?" This is where many of us disagree and probably will until 15 years has passed with sound managment and are left with the results.

The second is the political aspect of wolves. I, and many here included, have never agreed with how the government has handled them. If you go back and read old posts we are not saying anything now we didn't say then. When the wolf debate started. We predicted, very accurately mind you, that if wolf managment was not passed on to the states this would start happening. I still feel very strongly that we and other wildlife can coexist just fine with the wolf. But we and other wildlife cannot coexist with Federal wolf management policy. But the thing is....even those of us for wolf re-intro have been saying this all along.

So you are a lot premature to say, "I told you so."
