"Human hazing of wolves, such as with range riders on horseback or ATVs, can be very effective."

Wasn't there a story on here a while back about a guy and his run in with wolves while he was on his horse? and they surrounded him?

Otherwise seems like they kept thier statements pretty bland, for obvious reasons.

I love how they give ranchers tips to keep wolves off their land.  That's like telling women to dress more modest to avoid being raped. Oh wait, that has been said before...and went over real well.  I'm sure there will be the same amount of backlash over another instance of blaming the victim.

I love your analogy

The letter sounded kind of like a bunch of lip service..........especially when you think back to the WDFW wasn't willing to admit that the beef cow (or bull elk) killed last week was killed by wolves.
