Our answer to everything, isn’t to kill it.
However, from a historical perspective, the way to protect a herd is to kill off the predators preying on the herd.
This problem will be easily solved with the .30-06 & 7MM.
Haze with a Drone?
WTF?
How about haze with a 308?
Coming soon to Colorado.
Well..thats too bad.
Its happening.
The worst kept secret on earth up there.
Oh BTW. Neighbor up there in Wis helped do genetic research on Wolves. NOT ONE, they captured and tested was pure wolf. NOT ONE.
Isle Royals king maker was caught taking vaccine over to the island to vaccinate the wolf population since some kind of disease had got into the population.
Years and years ago.
“This problem will be easily solved with the .30-06 & 7MM.”
How about protecting the cattle with good fencing and patrol rather than just killing the wolves. Wolves have their purpose, also.
Indigenous people have lived in Oregon for at least 12,000 years, and possibly as long as 18,000 years. Some Native American communities have historically held a deep spiritual and cultural connection to wolves. Wolves are revered as powerful and sacred animals in many indigenous cultures, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and unity with nature. For these communities, the return of wolves is seen as a positive development, as it represents the restoration of balance and harmony in the ecosystem.
Some Native American communities have concerns and conflicts related to the reintroduction of wolves. These concerns may stem from potential impacts on livestock, as well as the challenges of coexisting with large predators in areas where human activities have significantly altered the landscape. But the area was altered by the humans coming in. The American indians overall learned to live with the wolves and respect their right to be there. The only problem was having enough game around to satisfy both. But they prospered side by side.

I think it was parvo that inflicted the IR wolves.
Follow the money.
Pre dug graves, and SSS. Make sure you have the tag.
Dead animal, access to GPS.
Darts to put the animal to sleep, then drag it to the river... Pull out the dart.
It is long past the time to tell the “Natives” to choose between the casinos and sales of cigarettes without taxation, or Fishing and Hunting rights. CHOOSE, because we can put up gates and charge for residents to enter tribal land. Being you are sovereign and all. We can also set up DUI checkpoints and harrass suckers 24/7... CHOOSE.

And that mistake was done long before you and I were drawing air. The indians should have been treated like everyone else. But what you are saying is that an animal that was poached into almost non-existance because of the inconvenience of people that are poaching it are being made a problem, as there were no cattle until 1824, and the wolves had been there for at least 12K years, that the wolves are the cause and they should be slaughtered again? If man is going to change the circumstances, then why should another animal that never bothered them before they brought the cattle into the area and opened the buffet, not expect it to happen then they should do a better job protecting their investment.
Maybe since we have so many aircraft accidents, ground them. Same said for auto accidents. Maybe since we don’t like the dog our next door neighbor has we just kill it. Bears are dangerous many times in the wild. Moutain lions will chase and attack people on the trail. So should we just shoot every one of them on sight since they are a greater threat to humans than wolves? If the only way to correct the problem is this, then eradicate them. But also go after the sharks, dogs, cougars, and any other animal that might hit a person even if the animal moved as far away from man as it could and man encroached on it. Same with polar bears and most jungle cats. I guess you can run, but you can’t hide.

Hopefully it gets run over on the highway.
Over the years I have seen several dead wolves along the highways

IMO, wolves should be exterminated. It’s fairly simple, they are extinct in the lower 48, and what remains is the result of dogs and wolves.
You are missing the point. This is a single solitary wolf that is causing all the damage, not the pack. This is a wolf that kills just because he can. This is one wolf that needs to be hunted down and eliminated to stop the carnage.
“You are missing the point. This is a single solitary wolf...”
Then why did they kill 33 wolves last year? Do you kill every criminal in the state to get that one criminal that actually perpetrated the crime because they are of the same background? It isn’t being treated that way. Some want all wolves killed. And that is my point.

“...they are extinct in the lower 48...
Following a February 10, 2022, court order, gray wolves in the contiguous 48 states and Mexico – with the exception of the Northern Rocky Mountain population – are now protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as threatened in Minnesota and endangered in the remaining states. There must be some around or they wouldn’t have made this order about three years ago.
