The Democrats specifically reintroduced wolves into the NW to kill off the deer and elk and moose so they could say, “What do you need rifles for? There are no deer left. Let’s just outlaw rifles.” Oh, and about shooting wolves.....I believe they are a pack animal. I recommend that people with wolf tags gather together to eliminate entire packs. You shoot one wolf in a pack, and you haven’t done much. Even if you kill the Alpha female, another one just takes her place. Democrats could care less about looking at wolves....what they really want is all private firearms gone so they can force their will on everyone. Yes.....they really are that cruel and stupid.

That wolf looks like it has a future as the lining of a nice parka.

A side benefit of the wolves is it makes people less likely to go where the wolves are. All part of the plan to ban humans from large tracts of the US.

Idahoans would help themselves by getting Anatolian Shepherds, Kangals, or Caucasian Ovcharchas. Each of these breeds loves to kill wolves. The Kangal/Anatolians will track wolves for miles to kill them.

Could be a .44 mag but it kind of looks like a .357 mag because of how the cylinder is held at the front of the barrel. Hard to tell for sure. If she was shooting .357 158grain semi jacketed P+P’s it would have been a lot of knock down power as the .357 is very quick.

Sounds like all of those expert archers did not know how to shoot in the air for help. Stupid is as stupid does,

Hi, Jeff. Timely post. A North Idaho friend of mine (and a veteran FR lurker) is a lifelong bow hunter. He and his hunting buddy are out on their annual 3-week elk hunt in Avery. They say the elk herd is decimated by approx 80% and the wolves are everywhere, stalking and following hunters. Last week my friend parked his ATV to walk down a trail, walking 10 minutes out and 10 minutes back. When he got back to his ATV, there were huge wolf prints on it. After hearing a large pack of howling wolves, estimated 18-20, chasing the same elk he had been tracking, he and his friend decided to come home, re-tool, and go back as wolf hunters. That's where they are this week. As he said, "These elk have enough problems without me out there hunting them too."

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

Especially since, as often as not, they are hunting for sport rather than food. They will take down their prey, do serious damage, and then leave it to die.

You need several of them because the packs are large. But a number of livestock owners I know have Anatolian Shepherds. They are very, very good.

Amen to that...thanks for sharing that story. They are all too common.

Jeff,
I am not certain how I feel about wolves. Seems there is more mis-information than true information. I did thoroughly investigate the human risk from wolves. There has never been a wolf kill of a human in the United States. Mountain lions, brown and grizzly bear yes but never by a wolf.

Coyotes and wild dogs have killed humans, toddlers in particular. Thus, it is only a matter of time before a wolf kills a human.

In the meantime, wolves readily make a meal of livestock -- lambs, calves, etc. Are you ambiguous as well about the interests of farmers and ranchers?

“There has never been a wolf kill of a human in the United States.”

Horsepucky! A couple of years ago, wolves killed and partially ate a female school teacher jogging outside a native village on the Alaskan peninsula. The pack had been harrassing the villagers for weeks. AFTERWARD, state troopers brought in a helo and hunted them down. There were other scattered close calls around the state.

Nothing. We apply it daily here in Wyoming. We’re thinking about changing the state seal to incorporate the phrase, “Shoot, Shovle, and Shut Up”. The engraving will include a crossed rifle and shovel looming over closed lips coverd by a verticle index finger.

rickk, I believe there have been humans killed by wolves. Not many very recently at all, but certainly more during our pioneer days and prior to that. To say that there have never been any...well "never" is far too all incusive IMHO.

I can tell you that the info above is true and not misinformation.

I know up in the high country here earlier in the year several wolves were stalking two children waiting at a rural bus stop. A resident noticed it and came down in their vehicle and picked those children up. The woman in the above story was in the process of being attacked when she klilled the wolf.

Wolves are a problem and a danger. They have been reintroduced...and not even the wolves native to this part of the country...and once again we are finding why our forefathers eradicated them from close proximity to their dwelling places.

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

One of my mother’s favorite sayings was, “You don’t have to out run a wolf, bear, or cougar. You just have to outrun the slowest person with you.”

We could bring these vile anti human enviro-whackos with us on hunting/fishing/hiking/camping trips and strap slabs of bacon or raw meat on them.
