We, the people of Idaho wanted No part of having Wolves in Our State ! They take MORE than the weak, They can kill just to kill and not even eat. They don't stop with just game either. If you are a rancher they can kill your stock. These wolves came from Canada by way of the U.S. Goverment. What happen to States Rights ? This was the first year we were able to hunt them, but only a limited #. Bunny huggers are always going to court to tie the hands of the hunters. Why is it that a small group of people have such control over the majority. I have hunted here before wolves and know what our state can produce.

Okay, now your initial comment makes sense.
The Federal Gov't doesn't give a rat's ass about the Constitution and hasn't for a long time. Didn't you know?
Because there is an underlying agenda, that's why, and more often than not, your vote doesn't mean squat. The country gets more and more tyrannical as time passes regardless of which party is in power. That's why I like the saying, "It's not left vs. right, it's the STATE vs. YOU."
Oh, and by the way, if I lived where wolves were a clear problem but my government prohibited me from killing them, I'd make damn sure I wouldn't get caught and shoot them anyway.

By "us", you mean "you".
Live in wolf country and you wouldn't be asking that.
Many years ago the wolves were put to almost complete obliteration... and with good reason. Where wolves are, they quickly mess the micro-eco-system within their immediate area. They can quickly decimate game herds where ever they are. Around here where the wolves are at, the deer are very little.
Problem is that there's too many of them in one area. To have them spread out in smaller numbers would be more tolerable, but when they are under the Fed's protection, they multiply like rabbits and blow out other predators.... like coyotes and possibly some fox.
I'm not offended by the pics, as that's what wolves do, but let their numbers grow and then you'll start to realize the problem.
Not long ago the wolves were taken off the endangered list and then they were over-seen by their respective states, but the bunny-huggers cried too loud and now the wolves are back on the endangered list and controlled by the gov.
When the wolves' numbers are large, they are not tolerated anywhere that I know of. Like any animal, their numbers need to be controlled.

And yes, I hunt areas where wolves are a problem. It does not bother me that they are there, but it does bother me that they only recently got the ability to manage them.

Wasn't Sarah Palin shooting wolves out of a helicopter or something?
Anyway, PETA always wins because the "kill this animal, so I can go out and kill that one" never wins.
They figure let the wolves do the work. What was is that the mercenaries used to say? Kill em all, let God sort them out.
Anyhooo...

Having a competitor for your quarry sucks whether it's a hunter in the next tree or a pack of wolves on the ground. We have a similar problem here with coyotes, and while hunting them is an option not many people do that here. The only viable option is the same one I'm going to suggest to you:
Adapt. The wolves adapted to us by avoiding us, and now that they can't avoid us it's our turn to adapt.

Wolves, yotes, ferals, I have no use for wild canines of any type. More of them, less game for us , its pretty simple actually.

The wolves need to hunt for sustenance. While it is true that many hunters, like myself, hunt for food, our very existence does not depend on our success. Just wondering why you think its OK for humans to hunt but not wolves? I realize that there are other points of view on this topic, so I really want to know how others feel.
