Or is it, it was what it was. SSS being the tired old line that's been spouted without effect since 1995.
We lost that one, and it's no more effective pushing 25 years later.

SSS is kind of a joke because guys think they are going to apply this when they come across a wolf randomly while they are out deer or elk hunting. Random sightings are pretty rare in my experience. And the ones I have had would have been difficult to get a shot off - you have to actually go put some time and effort into hunting them. Most people aren't willing to do that.
If people put the time and effort into filling their 5 wolf tags as they do whining about it on the internet, we wouldnt have as much of a wolf problem.

Obviously not because it violates one of the 3S's, not because it doesn't work.

It amounts to someone telling us that has never seen what pigs do tell us they where here first and be sides they are cute
This topic to me is very serious because it affects my family, friends and lifestyle. People that don't see it, are ignorant and need to listen to those that have the real world experience. Merry Christmas guys, cause we still need to stand together for the 2nd, no matter what our feelings on other issues

I agree whole heartedly. I feel like the question was asked insincerely. Like to get a rise out of people, which obviously it did.
I have been risen

Disagree. Some pretty competent people have tried, and failed at this.

The battle was lost in the courtroom, and will have to be reversed there. The continued appointment of conservative judges is the way to meaningful changes in the situation in the woods.

Why Wolves Are The Unsung Heroes Of Healthy Ecosystems

What should everyone know about wolves in the wild?
Answer by Oliver Starr, wolf handler and wilds advocate, on Quora:
Wolves are critical to healthy ecosystems – we need wolves more than wolves need us! Please watch this amazing video that helps put in perspective the role wolves play in restoring a damaging ecosystem back to health.
Unlike human trophy hunters, wolves take targets of opportunity – the young, the sick, the injured, the invisibly genetically inferior – in so doing they maintain the health of their prey species. Human hunters kill the fittest animals because they can – wolves improve the strength of their prey, humans consistently diminish it.
Wolves are considered both an apex predator and a keystone species. This means they are at the top of the food chain with no natural other animals that prey upon them for food.
Their reputation as dangerous animals or creatures that kill for enjoyment is simply inaccurate. As predators, wolves consume the flesh of other creatures. Unlike humans, their biology dictates a diet that consists almost entirely of meat. Wolves are the largest of all wild canids and they typically require large prey or a very high density of smaller prey to maintain their presence in an area.
Wolves have been known to eat moose, elk, deer, caribou, bison, musk ox, and virtually every other ungulate species that shares their range. Wolves will also eat smaller animals such as beavers, rabbits, squirrels, mice and, unfortunately, sometimes domestic livestock and pets.
Some people claim that wolves "decimate" they populations of the species they prey upon; however the facts do not bear this out. In the United States we've been documenting wolf recovery in the Northern Rockies for 25 years. We've also been documenting ungulate populations, particularly elk, for even longer.
While it is true that there are a few management units across the whole of the wolf recovery area that do show some reductions in elk numbers, by and large the presence of wolves has resulted in increases in elk populations nearly everywhere they've returned.
Wolves form very close social bonds. Wolf "packs" are actually families that typically consist of one or more breeding pairs, siblings of the breeders, and the offspring from one or more previous litters.
Lone wolves –perhaps the worst of all the mischaracterizations and vilifications heaped upon wolves is the idea that "lone wolves" are particularly killers or out to cause harm.
Nothing could be further from the truth! Lone wolves are technically known as dispersers and they're not looking for trouble, they're looking for love!
Not all wolves have the makeup to leave their natal group and set off on their own. It's a tremendously risky undertaking that very often results in the dispersing wolf dying in his or her effort to find a mate and start a family of their own.
