If you have no choice, then follow the philosophy of the 3 S's. Shoot. Shovel. Shut Up.

And remember to recover your cartridge and as much of your bullet as you can from the carcass. No point in leaving behind more identifiable materials than you have to.

I'll kick their leetle @sses, man...

Guess those cattlemen need to get a Kuvasz or two to guard their herds.

The wolf finally stopped when one of Atcheson's hunting partners chambered a rifle,

What caliber do you suppose the rifle was he chambered the rifle into? Must have been a big one! Why don't reporters learn a little something about the things they report on? Is it so hard to look things up?

All predators become bold when the air is no longer filled with the scent of their own kind's blood..

Kill a few ..gut them out.. skin them...and hang their pelts in the wind for a few days to dry...then the smell of gun powder and man...gives them respect and instills fear.

Fear..keeps them from trying to take man's property or kill man's livestock,pets,or family members..nothing else..being kind to them only inflames their blood lust.

When they have no reason to fear men then men are prey...all predators...wings,fins,four or two legged come for the easy life..

Insane! We protect killers and predator animals and kill human babies.

After Brokeback Mountain, in Wyoming, they're not even afraid of sheep...

Wonder if it was an adult or yearling? Wolves stay away from people pretty much in alaska; unless pushed for food. Late summer, we usually see a yearling or two hanging around and they are pretty dumb. Lope down the road right in front of the truck, walk up our lane and lay down 30 yards from porch and look at our sled dogs (who would tear them apart if they could get off their chains); even when we would walk out on the porch and yell at the yearling wolf. My boy would call blk wolf pup in with rabbit squealer while waiting on school bus.

Actually, I think yearling wolves are lost and haven't joined up with a pack yet. They hang around cleaning up the snowshoes and neighbors cats; and they are quite disorientated. Usually they are small, only 60-70 lbs. Hardly ever see adult wolves and most that are snared are 90-100 lbers; dumb first winter wolves.

Can't imagine seeing an adult wolf even close to people; but its quite common to see yearling pups around people in august, sept.

Great to have wolves around, just not too many; got to set realistic numbers and practice ariel control once they get grow beyond those numbers.

...the wolves are "just like domestic dogs."

The same liberal policies are at work against our boys in the public school system. Any robust society needs its wolves as well as its lap dogs, probably more.

Wolf ping.

[ Sunny Smith, manager of the CB Ranch near the Madison Range, said the wolves are "just like domestic dogs." ]

My husband took this picture last year from near the road through Haden(sp?) Valley in Yellowstone. Hope the picture isn't too big. Rusty at this.

"Federal protection has led to wolves unafraid of people..."

An apt analogy for union workers and trade protectionists.

"It's totally inappropriate for wolves to be that close," said Carolyn Sime, wolf coordinator for the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

Well then, since this behavior is inappropriate, the pro-wolf folks had better hold a mandatory meeting with representatives of the wolf pack to explain the importance of respecting the minimum Distance for Observing Humans (DOH). Otherwise, they may find themselves at a disadvantage when negotiating acceptable herd losses at the next bargaining round.

Liberal Strategy 101:

1. Bring back the wolf, farmers be damned.
2. Livestock killed, meat gets expensive, forced vegetarianism.
3. Game Animals killed, hunters decline, gun control.

We draw the line here, now.

Take no chances, just shoot them. And don't worry about the gubmint. Dead wolves don't talk. ;)

I thought this was an article about Democrats.
