“the wolves were trucked in to satisfy some inner need of enviros to control other people’s lives. We were told we had to have 30 packs/300 wolves, well of course it turns out that there was no intention of honoring that.
The whole idea is enough wolves to chase folks off their ranches...”
for you shyla
“....And the sheepherder said,’Son, you don’t seem to understand. The wolves ain’t screwing our sheep, they’re eating them.’”
Huh, so man tampering with nature hasn’t turned out so well. Gee. What were the odds.
Trust envirowienies to screw up the balance of nature. I'd much rather have an over polulation of elk than an over population of wolves. Elk are much more useful and worthwhile to hunt. A good sized elk fills a good sized freezer for a year. Time to open up wolf hunting.
When will "THEY" start a program to reintroduce Elk into the region...
No problem … global warming is about to wipe all life on earth out anyway.
This has happened because the envirowhackos have not allowed hunters to thin the herd.
Maybe it will take one of the whackos children to be bit or eaten before sanity returns.
S.S.S.
Horse sh**! Anyone with a brain knew it would get to this point. Consequently, the only elk I've seen in the last two years are the ones on elk farms.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
A while back I read that wolves and coyotes were cross breeding in the eastern US. At the time, this impressed me as creating an extremely intelligent and dangerous animal.
But I haven’t seen anything since about it.
For those of you not familiar with the behavior of either, wolves have about the same intelligence as a 5-year-old, but with advanced social skills; and coyotes are excellent tacticians, developing, communicating with each other, and executing complex schemes.
In some Native American traditions, wolves are placed about on par with humans, and coyotes are synonymous with tricksters, both crafty and ingenious.
A mix of those two animals might be something incredible.
When the wolf population reaches a critical mass, folks are going to find out why there are so many tales about big, bad wolves.
Sure, they seem shy now. Wouldn’t you be, after being hunted nearly to extinction?
But wait until they expand their population base. We may find out that all those old tales were based on fact.
“Wolf numbers continue to grow”
That’s a beautiful animal, so long as it isn’t killing you or your livestock.
Hmmmm... (rubs chin thoughtfully) I wonder if anyone has considered a possible correlation .
I just passed a truck with a window decal that you see a lot here in Wyoming - “Welcome to Wyoming - now take a wolf and go home.”
The number of elk, which are wolves’ primary winter prey, has declined 50 percent in the area since 1995...
You can’t blame them. Elk are tasty!
