200 dollar phones have GPS tracking technology yet these collars cost the taxpayers $4000 each. I need to be selling something to uncle sam.

Hopefully, the next human eaten by wolves is the author.

Our settlers shot the damn wolves because they were killing stock. They did just right. We're the nutsy ones.

I think the wolf reintroduction program has been such a resounding success that we should replicate it all along both the east and west coasts. Every native predator should be brought up to historical populations. Start in VA, then NY and CA. Hundreds of wolves and cougars should be let loose in Washington DC, NYC, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, et al.

Share the joy!

Shooting a collared wolf is not illegal
== = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Gee, I didn’t know wolves had their own clergy.

Also, I am fairly well read, not the dumbest guy in the block but I have to resort to a Joe Don Looney quote (well almost) when asked about the Super Bowl being the means to all ends.
“If it were so important why do we have one every year”?
“How can you claim it is so popular when Millions of people in China don’t have a clue”.

The first I ever heard of this wolf was about 5 minutes ago so it can’t be all that famous???

Odd, I thought the most famous wolf in the world was killed by a wood-cutter. (And the runner up boiled in a kettle by three little pigs.)

(Sometimes the most famous exemplars of a type are fictional.)

I thought the most famous wolf shot was "Limpy"...

Limpy: The Story of Wolf 253

Wolf 253 (also known as "Hoppy" or "Limpy") one of 1,500 gray wolves that lost federal protections in March when the federal government "delisted" wolves from the Endangered Species Act / Photo courtesy Steve Justad

He was known by the nicknames of "Limpy" or "Hoppy," depending on who you talk to; the name comes from an old injury that left him crippled for life. His official designation was Wolf 253, part of the wolf population brought back from the verge of extinction in the northern Rockies, and one of 1,500 gray wolves that lost federal protections in March when the federal government "delisted" wolves from the Endangered Species Act.

And on March 28, 2008, he was shot dead.

Also leaves out the part where these are Canadian Timberwolves not indiginous to the Northwest. They are humongous, aggressive and scary.

Hunters out calling up Elk are now finding themselves confronted by these monsters. They are killing hunting dogs like its going out of style and decimating the Elk herds.

A completely one sided article. Not one word on the necessity or desireablity of managing wolf populations.

What is needed is a program to manage inner city populations.....not wolf.

...while conservationists and scientists are alarmed by the hunts that come so soon after wolvers were re-introduced into the area in 1995.

These parasites of society (conservationists and "scientists") whether private or public, are always anti-people, plus they struggle violently to make sure that THEY are the only ones annointed enough to enjoy nature generally, and public lands specifically.

I hate the delusional controllers, and I'm neither a hunter, hiker or the outdoorsty type. But I like to think that if I ever become one, I won't have to fight the army of otherwise unemployable, delusional ones.

“The changes have made headlines and caused controversy, with hunters and ranchers treating wolves as a threat to be eliminated, while conservationists and scientists are alarmed by the hunts that come so soon after wolvers were re-introduced into the area in 1995.”

-snip-
“832F was also popular with tourists because of her immense size and ability as a hunter. Park wildlife experts said that she could take down animals on her own, according to the New York Times. Wolf advocates said that she was a devoted mother to her cubs as well as being leader of a relatively large pack.”

Gee, wonder why the ranchers considered her a “threat”???

Genetically, wolves are just another breed of dog. Kill all the wild ones.

It doesn’t matter to the anti-hunting people if there five hundred wolves or five million. It wouldn’t matter if the wolves were not only taking livestock but killing the occasional human. Ditto for deer hunting where I live. At one point I hit four deer in five years. There were just too many, and the number of motorists and bikers killed in collisions with deer was rising. But the anti-hunters don’t care. These are the people for whom animals are just as important as humans.

832F is so named because she was a research wolf.

What were her conclusions on the effectiveness of rifle ammunition?
