[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 607677, member: 10832"] Here is the latest update from Big Game Forever regarding new legislation for wolf introduction. Here it comes Colorado and New Mexico! Please read and help out! Thanks, Scot E. [CENTER][CENTER][FONT="][IMG]http://images.capwiz.com/biggameforever/images/bigame_header.PNG[/IMG][/FONT][/CENTER] [/CENTER] Folks, I am sending you the official plan from the federal government to place wolves in the Southern Rockies. Every sportsman in America needs to see this plan. These plans will spread wolves into 97.5% of all elk in America. Here is what they are doing: Baca National Wildlife refuge in Southern Colorado will have wolves transplanted in 2012 if portions of this plan are implemented. Baca is much, much smaller than Yellowstone. It is only 70 Miles from Northern New Mexico. It is only 250 Miles from Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. Wolves can travel that far in less than a week. Yellowstone National Park was used to introduce wolves to the Northern Rockies. Without your help, history will repeat itself this year in the Southern Rockies. See the official plan for yourself at the link below (look on page 8, bottom of the first column where they mention the introduction of wolves in Colorado's Baca National Wildlife Refuge).
