GRANGEVILLE Hello. My name is Scott Richards. I have lived in Grangeville for the last 17 years. I have enjoyed training my hunting dogs for the past 34 years.
To do this it takes a great deal of love for your dogs and for the great outdoors. I have always prided myself in the manner of which I train my dogs and take care of them. When I choose a new pup, he or she spends the first 6 months in my house. He or she is loved and a bond is there forever. I do not believe there are bad dogs, just inexperienced owners. I have spent the last four years trying to introduce this sport to as many young people as I can. My photo albums are full of pictures with children sitting under a tree with the dogs, telling them they did a good job.

"Ever wonder why the fools that want to bring back the wolves either don`t work for a living or live far away ?"
Smart alecky comments are so thought-filled and enlightening.

And surreptitiously tie the radio collar to the handiest government vehicle.
"I'm not a liberal...i'd like to suggest a correction...flame away."No flame,and i don't think your a liberal.I believe the article said wolves had been seen in populated areas.That's not good for people or wolves.Remember,wolves are formidable predators and very(!)opprotunistic.If they lose their fear of humans that could be a problem.Unfortunately wild animals(sometimes)forget the boundries and(like it or not)have to be dealt with.Remember the women killed by gators here in Fl?
Ok. So a mature grizzly sow can weigh up to 500 lbs. That's still a big bear. And to have a grizzly sow treed with her cub............
But your points certainly are BS.
Why am I arguing with you? My points are no more BS than this story.
And I know plenty of folks that leave their weapons in the car when they are out in the woods. They just don't want to carry them.
In addition, anybody that goes into the woods where they know dangerous game lives and is unprepared deserves what they get.
Of course, I guess we could consider these ignorant bastards as 'victims' of Big Wildlife.
That is about the only point that I agree with you on.
If you think the story is BS, prove it. Call up the Idaho Fish and Game Dept. and get the truth. He clearly states he reported it to them.
So, if I call the FAA and find out that they have received Unidentified Flying Object reports, this will confirm the existence of little green men?
Get cracking on that investigation of yours. Otherwise, STFU.
So what? Back in the 50's the government had an 'official' representative that used to go to where UFO sightings were reported.
And cops routinely investigate bogus reports every day.
So you STFU.
I have a cat I dearly love that I cannot keep inside no matter how hard I try. I have to have a dog run attached to the house for my Australian Cattle Dog (we never could house break her!), and I have added a roof to it to keep the cats in. The darned cat will ALWAYS find a way out! I have been able to catch him at it a few times, but usually he just sorta gets OUT. I am terrified of the things that might get him, it scares me to death! I don't think people take the term "Wild" life seriously enough.
Wolves wandering into suburbs is bad for everyone. Yet the wolves deserve to live. They are God's creatures, too.
Regardless, I think this nation's efforts and priorities ought to be focused on training and supplying our formidable military, intelligence and national security. Without an ongoing prioritization of securing our democratic and free society, we can forget the environment, the wolves and everything else.
I think Republicans need to remember to be good shepherds to all off God's creation as best we can. I don't think it is a good thing to leave our children a nation where they will only be able to see a wolf on a computer screen.
Go back and read the article. Justin, the alleged government trapper, was with him when he buried one of his dogs. And saw the wolf scat. So we are not talking about a UFO sighting. We are talking about verifiable evidence.
Now get moving on that investigation on this BS story, since you seem so certain.
Yes, the elk bog down....in the bog...and the doggies pounce real good. Way of the wild, and why it took us 200 years to push 'em back up north. When the slickers and suburbanites get themselves and their children slowly disembowled...perhaps a little ancient wisdom will get accepted, even by them.
Or not.
10 years ago I saw a coyote in Central Park, N.Y.C., and before that, one in a rubble field in the Bronx. When they meet Fluffy the pitbull, little Cujo should be quite an entertaining handful for one and all...'specially in the schoolyards.
The adventure continues.
I'm pretty sure that we don't have wild wolves in SC. We've got plenty of coyotes, though. And at 70mph in Miata a coyote would look large and wolfish.
Sure, the wolves were hunting too, but the problem here is this type of wolf doesn't belong in this ecosystem- the wolf that was native to Idaho didn't behave this way. These Canadian Gray Wolves were INtroduced, not RE introduced. This is the problem: the animal is being exploited by the fools who brought them here!
One could argue that Europeans were INtroduced to America.
Besides that, to my knowledge, animals aren't bound by geo-political boundaries. As far as I know, animals freely move from county to county, state to state, country to country, even continent to continent without ever asking us if it's alright.
