Wolves are protected so much that the game animals of South Central are scarce enough that some Alaskan hunters actually go to other States for game.

I thought that Wyoming was hanging up the agreements ?
Was Wyoming's claim that wolves outside of Yellowstone could be considered a pest and shot on sight if the Wyoming state government decided to pass such a law ?

Driving to Canada is quite a trip. Air travel is very popular.

I was trying to see if Eska was around.
He lives pretty close to the border and everyone in his area apparently goes back and forth alot.
He apparently drives his snowmobile, etc. up the frozen rivers sometimes.
It is a real shame that so many liberals from New York and California, with too much money, are so worried about Alaska's wolves that these liberals deny thoughful local management to decide the policies.
It must be real tough on the rural people who depend on the moose for food.

The Greenies from Outside dominate the Democrat Party in Alaska by massive political contributions. But, the Republicans are not immune. Something like 99% of the State is in Gov't ownership and every kind of hunting and development is totally regulated to oblivion.
The Pebble Mine, proposed, is estimated to hold $200 billion of copper and gold and would be the world's second largest copper mine, but the Greenies are all over this.
The new Alaska Admin is also tending to restrict hunting, especially bear in a region that has plenty of bear, so the tourists can see bear and Alaska's image will be enhanced. There are Conservatives in the State, but they are a voice in the wilderness.

they could put tons of the bears in denali for the tourists to see..then let the locals decide the rest.
I know that will never happen because the eco-nuts ignore science in their decisions...and only use pc politics as their base for any decision.
sss seems the best policy.

The Great Alaska Development Freeze began when coal was discovered somewhere around the Copper River about 1890 and the development was immediately shut down by Gov't decree. Got to wonder why Prudhoe was allowed development.

"try to get an initiative to ban gray wolves from Idaho on the ballot."
Who wants to get gray wolves from Idaho on the ballot?

It seems to get colder as you go toward the interior from one valley to the next. It is a mere -38 here at the base of the Tanana-Yukon uplands.
