Killing Pace of Wolves Could Wipe Out Wildlife and End Hunting in the Northwest

IMHO one of the reasons wolves were introduced was exactly this outcome.

When elk, deer, sheep, etc. populations dive low enough hunting will be banned.

A plus for the environmentalist.

Remember the ‘corridor’ proposed that runs from Colo. up through the Canadian Rockies that was to ban humans?

A ‘corridor’ for biodiversity.
A playground for the biologists w/ no other humans.

Wildlife “management”gone mad...

The problem: wolves have no known predators to keep them in balance with the ecosystem..”

I know of one, us.

I found this here at Hunt and Tell

This wolf was found just out of Edson , Alberta .. Edson is just east of where
many of our Yellowstone wolves came ( not sure what ‘found’ means.)

Hi… I live in Buck lake Alberta Canada…. 20 min from Drayton Valley where the big wolf was shot… I found more photos of it and its said to weighed 197 pounds… The hunters were said to been baiting bear and the wolf chased off a large bear… we had a malamute husky that was this big.. as big as this wolf… the tracks are from a wolf that been eating our cows 2 or 3 a week… I’m sure if we fed our husky a large calf every couple days he would of been larger than the wolf…

remember the camera angle can make things look bigger… like a hunter sitting behind a elk… makes the elk look bigger… believe it or not my brother who weighed 190 pounds grabbed my cousin who weighed 250 pounds and bench pressed him off the ceiling, he worked the service rigs… any man can easily lift a 200 pound wolf like these men are…

I’ve seen the wolfs twice that have been taking down the cows and they look large to me… wolf hunter are welcome… happy hunting

That’s gotta be faked like ‘Pigzilla!’

Tubey! If I shoots me a wolf, can I send it to you to make me a nice hat? And a stole? And some mittens? Maybe some boots?

We have a coyote hat which is pretty cool. Husband shot that one. I like to put it on and chase the young Lab around once in a while; though now that she's come nose-to-nose with a REAL coyote and chased it off, she stands her ground against me, LOL! Good Girl!

It’s real. Becoming more typical every year of the wolves that can feed at will without being hunted. Soon, when they devastated the elk, deer, and others animals, we will be their prey. How would you like to be fishing on one of those great Oregon rivers one day and find yourself surrounded by about 15 of these puppies that are hungry.

I don’t think you want to send it to the Peoples Republic of Califoristan. Had I known you wanted a Fox Stole I would have sent you the Rabid one I shot a couple of months ago...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Um...no thanks, LOL! :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Knew a guy once who was an Army Sharpshooter and when he had a day off, he’d go huntin’.

He’d stop by my office on base with any number of things to show me; one day he had a gorgeous fox. I could not for the life of me find an entrance or an exit wound, so I teased him that it was roadkill.

He had shot the thing in one eye and out the other!

He was something else. And his last name was ‘Schacht.” LOL! (Silent ‘ch’ in his name.)

If you’d like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

Note post 23. That's a very large animal.

Ping!

At the rate these wolves are killing the wildlife, the government will be forced to ban all hunting in the Northwest within ten years. We at FreeRepublic know this is why the wolves were originally introduced, now it is time we strike back at the left.

Open season on liberals, no limit? 0.5+ /sarc

Hiking in the mountains, oh, about 30 years ago, one early morning I found myself surrounded by a mere dog-pack of 20+ household pets on the loose and that was, um, discomfort enough. (I finally befriended the pit-bull leader and never had trouble after that, but lesson was learned.)

Holy mole! You could make a sleeping bag out of that thing!!!

Thanks for the ping!
