[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 886168, member: 51650"] mildot1960 FYI: a decade long battle with F&G was taken on by the sportsman and ranchers/ farmers of Idaho to establish a hunting season for wolves in Idaho. It was just barely short of blows and secession from the Union. Hunters and ranchers had to take over the Idaho Legislature to force the State government to oppose the Federal intervention. Your statements reflect a belief that hunting seasons on wolves were a natural progression of the Federal Bureaucrats recognizing the need to control the wolf population. Nothing could be further from the truth. The federal wolf "experts" fought tooth and nail to stop any intervention of their pet project that had so decimated the big game herds in Idaho. They literally argued that "balance" was coming and mankind needed to leave their "wolf wisdom" alone (with absolutely ZERO intervention of any kind) to find its own level. No logic or reason or provable declines in the big game herds could move them. It took a court order to remove the wolf from the Endangered Species List. 7000 wolves in less than a decade was not enough of a recovery for them. A judge brought about wolf hunting in Idaho. Idaho and the Western States that surround it have a unique relationship with the Federal Government. If Statehood came after the Civil War the Federal Government assumes it owns the state in toto and lends back only what the Federal Government deems rightfully the State's.
