I was going to say .308 but figured the bastards would be on before I do anything more than club em.

Justice demands that U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy spend a few nights in a tent in the Northwest wilderness.

Hunting and trapping them is one of the highlights of my youth in Alaska.

When you were hunting the wolfs as a youngster in Alaska, did you ever think that the left would convince the government to actually bring the same large wolves that roam in Alaska and Northern Canada down into the lower 48?

22 Wolves? If we could put them on a t-shirt it would be 19 times more awesome than a 3 wolf t-shirt!

I agree, would you like to go down to his house with me and help convince him to bivouac for a few days in Idaho's Lolo Elk Management area 10 & 12?

Now that is a good capitalist idea that will do wonders for the cause and the economy.

I think that you need something light and handy, optical sights, and normal capacity (30 round) mags.

The MAC or any of the AR’s would serve, I guess, but I like the 124 grain bullet for short range work, along with the mutts for early warning, hence the MAC for walking...

The puppies come along just because they are.

I love hunting, trapping and killing these very smart critters. Did I think they'd bring Alaska wolves south? Were there any wolves left here that were natural to the Rockies for their repopulating effort? Again it's the fact that politics has embedded itself into this and biological wildlife management was chucked out the door a long time ago.

I'll tell you this Vike. I'm almost 50 and the most exciting thing ever in my life was discovering a 9 and 1/2 foot male wolf in our trap. These dogs are huge, vicious and my 15 yr old and I were on cloud 9.

In years when the source is scarce, the birth rate is lower. Leave nature to it’s devices. Trying to “fix” this is like the liberals trying to “fix” the climate.

These Canadian wolves are no more indigenous to the lower 48 than would be the African lion or cheetah, or Bengal tiger.

Food will get scarce for them when they have depleted all the wildlife and maybe 90% of the humans in the continental USA. Good luck getting in that other 10%.

Funny you should ask. Check out what I found from a pro wolf reintroduction program site. I disagree with their conclusion, but the information that they offer is very informative. As I said I just disagree with their conclusion. :>)

This is a portion of a reply I gave to a liberal in my home town, who did not like my take on the wolf problem in Idaho.
when the government was being sued in court to stop the introduction of these Canadian wolves, it was none other than the National Audubon Society, Predator Project, Sinapu, and Gray Wolf Committee that joined the anti wolf farmers and hunters in litigation to stop the program from ever being started. I am talking about animal rights organizations who were primarily concerned with protecting the endangered status of naturally occurring Rockey Mountain gray wolves or better known to them as the Canis Lupus Irremotus. They were concerned that naturally occurring wolves which wandered into the recovery areas would essentially lose their “endangered” designation and would mistakenly be treated as part of the experimental population, or that the larger Canadian wolves would decimate what was left of the endangered Rockey Mountain wolve. (Which Has Happened).
In the resulting joined lawsuit, the first allegation was that defendants introduction of “Canadian” gray wolves, which were neither threatened nor endangered, violated the requirements of ESA section 10 (j). They wanted to show that the fact that the wolves indigenous to the northern Rocky Mountain region (Canis Lupus Irremotus) and the Canadian wolves used for reintroduction (Canis Lupus Occidentalis) were two different subspecies of gray wolf. They also argued that because the two types of wolves were distinct subspecies, the Recovery Plan would have an adverse impact on the conservation of the irremotus subspecies because of possible interbreeding, thus the Canis Lupus Iiremotus would cease to exist.
Thanks to the introduction of the Canadian Grays, not only are we seeing the destruction and devastation ofg the elk populations around Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, we are also seeing the complete annihilation of the very animal they claimed they wanted to save, the Canis Lupus Iiremotusthe.


Further more, those determining the status of the Northwestern wolf, refused to look at the evidence from the coalition of farmers and hunters that proved there were close to 1000 wolves in Wyoming alone in the early "90"s.

So to answer your question, No the wolves who roamed in the lower 48 were not close to extinction. Sadly, in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming they are now. All because of the larger ones they brought down who have killed them and taken over their territory.

I live in Montana now and can only say that I am a wilderness and wildlife lover. I only ask that we take good care of our wildlife so we can kill them, eat them and wear them. I also love to view them in their habitat.

If people were taught that nature itself is so much harder and more destructive to these critters they would shut the heck up about what we harvest.

The islands in SE Alaska would suffer 70% winter kill of the blacktail deer due to starvation from deep wet snow.
All the while we had F&Game ticketing or fineing people who lived off this excellent meat because they took one over their limit. So many elderly natives were supplied their winter protein by a young relative. This while nature was killing 10’s of 1000’s and he could not take extra to supply those who could no longer provide for themselves.

F-ing politics.

We have a wild wolf pack of one.

Three escaped from their large enclosure when a tree fell across the double chain link fence. Two returned to the remaining three. One is atlarge in a very large wild area including a US Army Ordnance Works that is literally crawling with deer and turkys

The wolve tenders at the park say he is dead. My guess is he is in heaven..... a wild area with lots to eat.

to hunting in supper packs of 15 to 25 wolves per pack

Methinks when you get a pack that size what they're hunting is not supper but dinner!
