It's sometimes hard to understand the fight unless you have been in it for awhile. I suppose it is also hard to understand, for some, to watch your state game agency lie time after time, ignore the impact wolves are having on game herds and livestock. And watch the USFSW do the same. I'm sure that most of you will be very understanding after 10 more years of lies from WDFW and the USFWS. Maybe it's true WDFW just needs to buy more land, Habitat…..
You know what I'm going to step away from any thread wolf related,All you do Bearpaw is spread further extreme view's on wolves and everything you post is from people who do not have anything peer reviewed and are not credited.You have no clue how to handle wildlife so from a conservation stand point you and me are going to disagree.Anyone else who shares these extreme views by all means feel free you well always be outnumber by reasonable logic minds who well have majority of control over the wildlife populations,how there managed,hunted,cared for..ect.You just continue to cry on here about how much everything sucks and that anyone who say's wolves are ok out there is a lie ,false,fake,not true,B.S...ect .at the end of the day you can't change what's been proven and put into effective conservation.You can corrupt peoples minds all you want with all this there should be 2000000000 elk in Idaho. Wolves are here to stay get used to it instead of playing B.S. games go to the sportsman meetings throughout the states and get educated.
"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."Mark Twain
They went down to carrying capacity simple answer.The Environment can't handle Elk or deer above there carrying capacity for very long before they crash ,Yes we all lose a lil bit of hunting opportunity's but you still get the chance to go out and get one that well never change.We had a over population problem with elk and deer primarily elk ,They were out of habit and caught out grazing in the open of meadows in places were elk would never normally graze due to lack of apex predators and everything suffered ,Now i'm not giving all credit or even half to wolves like too many knuckleheads due,But with what were seeing in YNP it's amazing to watch the place return to normal as elk have been around 4,000 "the Carrying population is about 5,000 on the park" the last 4-5 years ,What's even better is that now the wolves are starting to go after more buffalo "like they were supposed to in the first place" and the park is returning to normal. Bottom line Is that wolves due take a toll on animals and they well never eat them selves out of food or over populate the Environment they're in.Everyone around YNP thinks that 20,000 to 10,000 is were it's supposed to be but that's almost 4 times the carrying population ,so now that it's normal everyone is freaking out about it when it has been ridiculously high for most there lives to see it return to normal the last 5 years or so does that make since?
Rockholm is one more wolf hack. If you killed every single wolf today and threw everyone he thinks wronged the world with wolves in jail I very much doubt he'd be out there trying to help other game animals that people like to hunt. Ranchers and outfitters didn't come racing out like they have for wolves when small game hunters started to see declines in sage and sharp tailed grouse in Washington. Oh they'll talk your ear off about how poor predator management has led to declines in those animals as well, but when the "grouse in the coal mine" was dying they were nowhere to be found. No, they were out chasing cattle or guiding people on elk hunts because those are what affect their bottom lines.Guys like Rockholm want to help hunters, they just need to be big game hunters.
