[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 538367, member: 26477"] The intention of my comment is that none of us are going to be able to take enough wolves out to undo the damage they have caused and will continue to do. The only way they were finally brought down the first time was through massive use of 10-80 poison, which has been banned for years. They become extremely nocturnal after very little hunting pressure. Hunters will have a difficult time keeping their current numbers in check, if they can even do that. For one to state that their trusty Winchester willl take care of any and all wolves entering their state is boisterus at best. I've been against the introduction of the wolf ever since they started raising the first pack of them under chain-link containment 80 miles north of where I live. I come from a family of pioneer ranchers from eastern Idaho that had to deal with massave depredation of their livestock before they were erradicated the first time. Let me also state that we didn't have the Canadian Gray Wolf back then, but a much smaller Western Timber Wolf of which the count of approximately 80 animals remained within the Yellowstone Eco-System before the Canadians were released. I'm reasonably sure that the Canadian Wolf has now wiped them out to extinction. We never read or hear anything about that either. [/QUOTE]
