[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 2978625"] Living in the frozen north, with cattle and horse operation , and a healthy population of wolves , you have nothing in comparison to those numbers. We have mitigation measures in place for our operations. We have healthy wildlife populations deer,elk,mule deer of which they have even opened a season for residents recently. Moose are in recovery from disease and ticks and aledged over hunting by indigenous persons under treaty rights ( that is up for debate by all parties). Some operations have issues, we haven't, but we do the things we need to do to secure the animal's from being easy targets. It takes work and it costs some extra money and time, but that's my livelihood and if it's not wolves it's abandoned dogs that have packed up or coyotes. We don't free range our cattle in the winter, we keep them closer to the main house and Page wired that field to reduce the chance of predation. We are allowed to trap, harvest wolves during big game season, get permits and there are resources available. So, I sit and watch...without a bowl of popcorn......and kind of shake my head at how others scream howl gnash their teeth and cry for the demise of the wolf and yet areas that have had wolves for decade get there game animal every year, raise there cattle, sheep, horse etc... Attend the meetings, make your opinions known, it does work, go to courts when really stupid things are being contemplated, but ....wolves are here to stay...because the only way to to truly wipe out any species is poison and that way always has a truly horrific level of collateral damage.
