Kill the wolf?

[ebd10]

I don't live in Wolf country but, because of my proximity to it, I've been trying to stay abreast of the developments. From what I have researched, there were two major factors that made the introduction of wolves a debacle. The first was the selection of the wolves themselves. The F&W imported Canadian Grey Wolves which are a non-native species. Having evolved eating Caribou, they grow to be about 100-150 pounds and are very aggressive.

Couple that with game species that have not seen a wolfpack in a century, and you understand why Elk herds dropped by 80%. They didn't react to a predator because they didn't recognize it as a predator. End result? By the time the Elk or Deer, or Antelope realized they were in trouble, they were already on the menu, ready to serve.

Wolves are probably here to stay, but the packs must be handled intelligently. Emotion cannot override reality. A Wolf season is not unreasonable.

Wolves should be treated the same as coyotes. Only small game license needed, year round season with no bag limit and see if that controls population.
If not more aggressive tactics may be needed.

Looks like according to the CDA newspaper they need helicopters in Northern Idaho to hunt them.

First of all there was no reintroduction, wolves were here before they transplanted them to Yellowstone.

You pretty much summed it up - you forgot to scream out "HAMMER BULLETS" at the end, because without fail some idiot will do that - does't matter what the topic is. Lol

The best part about this one is the debate that ensued about whether or not its ok to shoot people pet dogs - how is that even a debate?!

 

[bigngreen]

Here's a thought, instead of whining about everyone else on the forum and the sponsors bring some content!!!

 

[Deleted member 48126]

Not whining and I bring a lot of content. Pointing out facts. You're in the same threads I'm in. You see what I see. These questions get no where with no real responses. Why don't I just speed it up so it's not 14 pages "you're an idiot, no you are" thread.
