State will kill remaining 2 wolves of pack killing cattle

[Rainier10]

I just love the solution. This pack of wolves needs to be eliminated because they prey on cattle. The other packs are the good ones that don’t prey on cattle. They are all wolves, you can’t cull the desire to eat beef out of the species. It’s just dumb.

I’m not saying I’m against takingbout the pack. I think they should and I think they need to open up hunting immediately for wolves. They are hear and from what I’ve seen in Idaho you aren’t going to get rid of them so just have an open season and try to slow the damage they do.

Here's the current information from an honest source.

Appears that the Togo and OPT are always in the news.

By not taking immediate action when any wolf kills cattle, wolf groups and WDFW are ensuring that the rest of the pack or wolves in the area become cattle killers.

Sounds like Democrat rhetoric to me.

THANK YOU to the WDFW. I appreciate this action very much. While I understand its wrapped up in a whole lot of political bs, I think we could agree that 16 dead cows/calves is too many before this level of action but its a step in the right direction. Its a tough job to take into account all interests but I think protecting ranchers livelihoods should remain a top priority in the wolf management plan. I think Idaho is a great model for us to look at for the future, wolf populations are sustained and safe, ranchers have the ability to protect their herds, and not only have hunters seen some of the best elk hunting the last four years as they have in decades, but they now have an additional species to pursue in the woods. WDFW, lets work toward a model similar to idaho.

Imagine the impact on the game herds etc., who's counting them?

I got that info directly off of IDFG website. They do admit that there are areas still below objective but overall elk hunting is as good now as its been in a long time.
