New confirmed wolf pack

[bobcat]

I wonder if the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is being blamed for planting the wolves there.

Fish and game manage wild animals, when wild animals start causing problems do you blame the animal or the agency who manages them?

So what are you saying- the CDFW actually DID plant those wolves in the state of California?

No, I am just interested to see who will get the blame for the imminent wolf problems in CA the CDFW or the wolf.

Oh I see, I think I must have misunderstood your comment. No doubt the CDFW will eventually be blamed for the wolves and the problems they cause, if any.

  Bearpaw well said,  I so wish those that believe that ISIS is not a threat, leave their nice urban homes and vacation in Syria/Iraq for a week.  It is so easy for those that are not DIRECTLY impacted by decisions the government makes to say what a good idea it is.  The day the cage doors opened in Yellowstone we (hunters) lost, now we must choose how to deal with it.

Well said BP. The one rancher I know know refused to even speak about the wolf subject. There is only one reason why I could guess.

My straw poll on the wolf subject is that 99%of the wa hunters ive talked to do not view shooting a wolf the same as shooting a deer or elk out of season. When asked directly most say they probably wouldnt shoot one but wouldnt say anything if they witnessed it. All said they wouldnt want to k ow if you shot one but wouldnt think poorly of you.
To me this points to the huge disconnect that BP speaks of with the WDFW and the general hunting public. I think its u fortunate because I think this general distrust of the agency will bleed over to more issues that normally hunters might be more proactive about.

exactly, the whole impact is likely not good for hunting or wildlife

Well said Bearpaw, I had two separate hunting parties affected by wolfs this year, 1 during early Archery and then unexpectedly during upland game season.  Hopefully they won't wipe out all the upland game too!

Id worry more about my dog than the birds... but then again i always bring some buckshot with me!

Any animal will act different if they know you will pull the trigger, and they always seem to know.
