Grey Wolf Spotted in World Class Elk Country

[Bean Counter]

Coconino County may have a resident grey wolf.  The region boasts the most entries into the record books for top scoring elk.  Well it used to.  Grea news for those of you patiently building points in Arizona I guess

The animal’s existence near the Grand Canyon was disclosed by the Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, Wild Earth Guardians and the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council. They hailed the discovery as offering a great opportunity for wolf recovery there.

I wonder who put it there...

So much for the endangered Mexican Red wolf. To anyone who missed the lack of concern for WA's indigenous wolf population, this should wake them up. Were the re-establishment of indigenous wolves the real goal of these ultra fanatical greenie organizations, they'd be concerned that grey wolves moving into the area would pose a threat to the red wolf. But since we all know that their goals have nothing to do with wolves (in fact, they care nothing about them), and everything to do with ending hunting, their joy over seeing the grey wolf in red wolf habitat makes perfect sense.

the Mexican wolf is a sub-species of grey wolf. The red wolf is found in the south eastern states not in the southwest.

I ran into a bunch of the Mexican greys in the Gila.   We noticed some weird cages  at certain spots at peoples driveways.  We invited a warden into our camp and talked to him about it.  Apparently they had trouble with the wolves harassing kids waiting for the school bus.   There was also controversy about a farmer shooting at one ripping the utter out of one of his cows out on the range on the south end of 16D.    I never saw any but saw tracks and elk hair filled wolf poop.

the wolf is on the north rim I would be more concerned with the world class mule deer that come from the north rim. The south rim is where the world class elk are mostly found.

maybe we will be lucky and the wolf will move into the canyon and develop a taste for burro

There is THAT group again! you think PETA and HSUS is a bunch of kooks,  YOU haven't seen Nothing YET!!

These clowns are the worst of the worst.

And most politicians DO listen to them because they have "degrees"  SO that means they know what they are spewing

Correct I misread that--thanks.

The world class elk of Coconino County are safe--for now. Its just the worthless Kaibab mule deer herd and annual 220" bucks that are at stake now. Phew.

it's more likely the wolf will concentrate on the burros in the canyon

Until spring when does slow down and fawns start dropping!

We thought/hoped the Lolo elk herd in Idaho would be minimally selected by the wolf in contrast to smaller and slower animals as well.  Then reality hit that the wolves preferred elk meat and made a slaughter out of the wintering and birthing grounds.

Not to worry, it is probably just another one of the "far travelling" Lookout pack. I hear they have been seen from BC to California and beyond!





At the same time, LOL
