I realize it's a part of hunting culture to hate wolves, but I don't see the logic in hating them because they eat other animals.

Other than the fact that it means less game for hunters... It's simply competition then; and logically you should hate other hunters too.
logically it is perfectly fine to hate wolves because not a hunter alive was around before the lower 48 were erradicated of wolves, there for we have never had to compete with them, not to mention all the work that has been put into elk and deer habitat and management and lets not even get started on the poor damn farmers, they were killed off for a reason, can anyone tell one good damn reason to let them inhabit the lower 48 again  :dunno: and of course we arent gonna hate other hunters for the most part, that comparing apples to oranges, now cougars, bobcats and coyotes on the other hand are a differant story, since we lost hound hunting and baiting are wildlife has plenty to deal with without having to deal with friggin wolves....... SO I SAY KEEP ON HATIN BONE.....YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT  :tup: :tup:

I think its the pack thing maybe.   I occasionally want to club to death gang bangers that victimize the innocent as well.   If someone wants to pay for my shrink I'd be glad to figure out why I hate them.   :)
:yeah: Will for sure be buying a wolf tag in Idaho this year.  Even if It bankrupts me.  Look at the wolves tails wagging in the vid, its not just a hunt for food. They enjoy killing. Anyone who says they just kill to eat is full of it. It has been documented many times that they kill for the sheer fun of it, spree killings of elk, sheep ect.  I dont say kill them all off, but they need to be managed very tightly.  :twocents: Would have been great to see that moose stomp of few of them into the mud in the bottom of that pond.  :bash:

My first wolf experience was all Disney.  Momma, Pappa and babes.   My second was a spree killer, a story I may have told on here I don't know.   I have never felt so much anger, to this day even.

I find this totally ridiculous.

My dog kills squirrels every now and then.  Loves doing it.  Tail wagging the whole time.  Doesn't make me want to shoot my dog.

What's wrong with enjoying the kill?  Isn't that what hunting is about?  Enjoying the process, the thrill of the hunt, and the prospect of meat in the belly afterwards?

Humans are allowed to enjoy killing but wild animals aren't?

I'm not a big wolf fan, but nature is cruel. 
What's scary is when food gets scarce we're on the menu.

If I go to Idaho I'll spend the extra for a wolf tag. 
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

Humans can LOSE the right to hunt for wasting game, wolves just go kill another full grown elk or moose just to eat the fetus and liver inside and go kill another.

Again, all I see are hunters hating wolves because wolves kill game. Whether or not the eat the whole animal matters little to me.

More deer are killed by cars speeding down highways. Don't see anyone taking up arms against drivers for not eating their road kill.

There was plenty of game in North America when wolves roamed freely. The reason we have less game now is a problem of development and overcrowding of winter range, not a handful of wolf packs in a handful of states.

I backpacked through Yellowstone two years ago and made camp less than a mile from a den. The barking up the new litter of pups kept me awake all night. It was one of the most memorable wilderness experiences of my life.

I don't believe that wilderness belongs only in national parks. I want that wilderness experience in my home state.  If several hundred deer are killed and left for the birds to pick clean, I say that's a reasonable trade off for the chance to experience wilderness a little closer to what it was before our highways and cities destroyed it.

If we weren't parceling out the wilderness and containing wild animals into smaller and smaller ranges, there'd be plenty of game to go around, and we wouldn't have to wait half a lifetime to draw for a chance to hunt a trophy animal.

I don't think the wolf is our enemy, I think development is our enemy.  I can't hate an animal for living according to it's nature.

I glad most hunters disagree with you. You must be a liberal?
