[QUOTE="mtntrapper1, post: 684590, member: 47396"] My apologies also, There are many out there here in Idaho, and Montana far more vehemently totally mad at fish & game Dept's than you can imagine. There have been some very heated and outrageous confrontations in both states. I am not in that crowd. But the wolf situation was not brought to US / WE the hunters and trappers in ID, MT, MN, WI, WA, WY and soon many others from far ranging natural movements and dispersal. It was forced upon us against our will and with OUR Tax dollars from Hunting and Fishing gear! I always value a predator or Fur-bearers fur value personally, have never hunted any of them out of prime fur season myself, except in doing control removal work in my past. I have been around long enough to see The Federal and State Professionals use M44's and Getter's, and other lethal methods no one uses any more.
