Sad to see so many elk and deer being taken down.  The deer herd is already nothing like it used to be.  Im waiting for the day that I see one on the hill by my house.  I am between pitcher and number 2 canyon so I guess its only time before they come chasing the deer that walk through my yard each day.

as frustrating an issue as the wolves are to us hunters, this is exactly what needs to happen to get the "general" public in an outcry for more wolf management. if more wolves start taking down more deer in more yuppy's backyards and show no fear of people and a brazen attitude the yuppy elites will begin to not want them around.

its always great to have something that sounds so good in someone else's backyard but once the gruesome details of how wolves live are shown up close and personal the less they will be liked eventually

If there is a good in this, it's that the deputy saw the wolf. So no reports will come from WDFW claiming otherwise.

I'm sure that a report will come out tomorrow that will state that they were mistaken and that the deer had already been hit by a car therefore it would have died anyways.


Sorry missed that section in the story...that it had a broken leg due to possible contact with a car.

Some of the Yuppies need to be taken down in the Yuppies' back yards.

I could care less about the wolves eating deer... thats what they do.  What has me pissed as all getout is this is not even a mile from my house, IN Town.  I have a little child and now do I have to take my gun with me everytime I take him out to play in the yard???  This wolf has demonstrated that its not affraid of people... its just a matter of time before "what us paranoid people" say will happen.... WILL happen

And how do you know that's not true?

[Scottystyle]

so far all these animals have been hit by cars.  probably. its the default deflection from the WDFW.

Maybe you should reread?

Madonna Luers, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, said Tuesday that the deer attacked up No. 2 Canyon had a broken leg, possibly from contact with a car.

"The wolf was keying in on very vulnerable prey, which is what they do," she said. "It was probably in the process of killing it and was going to eat it."

Leurs said Fish and Wildlife biologist Scott Becker performed a necropsy on the deer, and found it had been attacked by the wolf. "It had the deer pinned up against a fence," Leurs said.
