The Endangered Species Act, like it was used in
Klamath, OR in 2001, like is being used in
California now in the San Joaquin, is being used to radically and negatively impact American productivity, and endanger American citizens all over this country. This is another example of its impact, even though we here in Idaho have gotten these wolves removed, and can now hunt them...we are still dealing with the impact.

Whatever happened to “shoot, shovel and shut-up?”

That still occurs...but for the wolves, we now have an official hunting season for them too. If one attacks you, or your life stock, you are free to shoot it dead. They are not on the endanged list in Idaho any longer.

My God, that thing is huge. Your advice on carrying when afield is solid advice but I’d question whether the game wardens would agree during archery season. Here in OK, having a firearm with you during archery hunting is not allowed. Of course, we don’t have the predators on the food chain above us that you do in ID.

Ping to you...,
Evidently, there are BIG wolves in Idaho. Be sure to tell hubby that. ;)

I live in Idaho County. Wolves have eaten pets in the next town. I saw one a couple of years ago. Made the hair stand on the back of my head. It was huge, had no fear.
In June one was in front of our place chasing a deer. I saw it. I still wonder it seemed small for a wolf. Yet others were with me on the neighbors porch when in ran down the hillside.

That looks to be a .44 she has. For some reason it looks bigger than a .44 (460 or 500) but I don’t think either of those has a barrel like that where it is not a full lug (is that correct terminology)?
But that wolf looks huge.

Well, I know you cannot carry a long rifle when archery hunting (which I believe is rediculous...if I violate and hunt with it, that's one thing. Just having it should not violate the law) but I believe a handgun is alright. This lady was glad she had hers that is for sure.
If not, then the other old addage comes into play:
"I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six."

If I’m surrounded by a pack of wolves the lack of a tag is not going to stop me from protecting myself.
That thing is huge!

Fish and Wildlife guy I know shot another huge one in the foothills above Boise a couple of years back. Very large like this one. In the fothills between horseshoe bend and eagle, south of crown point somewhere.
I'll try and find that pic and post it.

Heck I’d rather be given lethal injection than eaten alive by a wolf.

Agreed...but that group had no firearms...just their bows. A good bow will help, but 17 wolves are going to get to some of those folks if it got serious. As it was for that group, the wolves did not attack...unlike the story with the woman.

My first quick glance at the dead wolf was, “Damn, that was a big wild/feral boar!”
Then, I realized that it was a wolf.
I told you about a younger relative who was harrassed by a large California Black Bear a couple of years ago. He was Bow Hunting for deer and due to California’s screwed up laws re no hand guns while bow hunting, he and his unstrung bow could have been a disaster.
We had a discussion about how I had rather be tried by 12 of my peers versus buried by 6 friendsserving as pall bearers in situations like this.

Yes, sir, Dave...and amen to that. Again,

I think we should feed the enviro-whacko’s to the wolves.
