Hard for some to watch the decimation of game herds by a illegally introduced predator that is protected above all else by WDFW and the USFWS. And then there are the "pro-wolf" people making money from outfits like WDFW, CNW, DoW to get on hunting forums and defend wolves. The WDFW we have today will never manage/control wolves, rural areas are left with the task of defending their livestock etc..[/quote

Just don't post about those plans on the forum. Probably better if a guy doesn't post about those type ventures for the whole world to see too. Consider this us protecting our members from the WDFW.What am I missing by calling him out? Are we just to pretend all is ok and remain quiet? I don’t get it. This is on par with not letting my kids go to School but gov’t being ok with left-wing nut job protests. We should be quiet about this issue in fear the antis will use our comments against us? Perhaps I’m reading this wrong but why not shout from the roof tops and let our voices be heard. I could personally give two craps who it offends and or the unlikely event our position is used against us. People can sit back and talk to our future grandchildren about elk and moose hunting being a nothing more than a memory or grow a backbone and do something about it. I nuked a whole bunch of posts this morning promoting and/or advocating for poaching/SSS/that sort of thing. As I mentioned in my reply to WB, I understand the thinking behind it, but there are rules we have on the forum here. I nuked posts that violated those rules. That's all I'm saying.

Did the OP say where the incident occurred? NO So this might very well be in ID where it is legal to shoot a wolf.
