The only right thing would be for any of the congressional delegation who voted to protect the wolves to be required to hike thru wolf territory once a year wearing a pork chop vest.

Wolf Ping!
Some interesting comments by wolf lovers after the article.
Solution, keep dropping them until the pack is either obliterated or retreats...
Wow - we were just there a few weeks ago.
No they are not Rep. Tutvedt. The County Sheriff can order the Feds out of his County any time he choses. And you're free to introduce Legislation at the State level to allow the hunting of wolves.
Grow some balls and tell the Feds to go p*** up a rope. Let Obama order Federal troops into Montana to enforce his will. Then things will get really interesting.
Oooops! I thought they were coyotes.

This recent thread demonstrates that Grizzlies are more challenging than wolves. (But who didn’t know that?)
I’d love to have a taxidermied wolf on my wall.
This is why I like to pack a pistol when hunting.
OTOH, if the wolves are already on the elk by the time you get back, too bad. Finders keepers.
Leaving a big pile of fresh meat overnight two hours from the road in the wilderness - I’m surprised any was left by the time he returned other than a red stain. He rang the dinner bell and left - when with better planning, the meat could have been in his truck - and I’m no wolf lover.
Getting the federales out of the picture is almost always a good idea.
My aunt’s cousin was the first person prosecuted, and then jailed, for killing a wolf on his ranch outside of Red Lodge, MT, after the re-introduction of wolves to Montana. They were killing his sheep, and he ended up in federal prison for protecting his livelihood.
The lesson learned here is to always be armed in bear/wolf country. A .44 magnum, 454 Casull or S&W500 would do the trick.
This was a dreadful situation, but my question is, why did the hunters submit a report? They had to know they’d get in trouble for defending their lives. That’s not allowed! If it had been me—which God forbid!—I’d have adopted the “shoot, shovel, and shut up” approach.
