[QUOTE="idelkslayer, post: 931297, member: 62258"] That's not going to happen. Every time a hunters says "Kill them all" it galvanizes our opposition and gives credibility to their claims that States (specifically Idaho) cannot responsibly manage predatory animals. IDFG stated that once delisted, they would manage wolves at the 2005 population (580) because that was the year that the original delisting agreement was met. ie, Minimum 150 with 10 breeding pairs per state. That is the threshold that IDFG agreed with USFWS to maintain under the delisting agreement, if we drop below that we will see increased attacks from the wolf lovers. What will happen if we kill them all or even get close to the number allowed in the delisting? I'll tell, the USFWS will re-list the wolves under a new management plan that will require 2000-3000 wolves before delisting can occur again. 2000-3000 is the number outlined in a study which most wolf lovers point to to support their claims. If you think elk hunting is tough now, just wait until 2000 wolves exist in Idaho alone, and the USFWS has all of the control. I am not saying that we should bow to the wolf lovers, I am saying that we need to recognize that wolves are never going to be allowed to be eliminated. They are here to stay wheter we like it or not. What we need to do is convince the wolf lovers that we can manage wolf numbers at a level that will guarantee that they are never at risk of being relisted. That number will most likely be higher than we want but lower than they want, but there has to be comprimise. They out number hunters and if they wan tthe can do some serious damage to our lifestyle. Look at California, hunting bans on mountain lions, hunting bans on using hounds. If you don't the same thing can happen in other states you don't realize how much many those tree-humpers have to throw around. Again I'm not saying back down, I'm saying let's show them that hunters are not knuckledragging backwoods *******. [/QUOTE]
