Anyone want to take bets on how long until OTC elk goes to permit only and the number of moose tags start to drop?

Fingers crossed the local ranchers are quick on the trigger.

5 years for otc, 10-15 years for things to semi stabilize

Should’ve had a shooter on the grassy knoll…

I hope to see non resident OTC elk tags here go to permit, they need to do that now without the impact of wolves.

It's going to take a decade but boy those wolves will sure change things in CO.

So the local news had this story and they seemed happy and excited but I saw Derek Wolfe on Jesse Watters and he called out the anti hunting agenda. Colorado put out lots of misinformation before they voted it in like there are no wolves in the state but the game dept knew of at least 1 pack. And the other bs about a balanced ecosystem. Check out ex-NFLer Wolfes huge cat.

I paused it to check that huge cat out, looked massive.

It would be interesting to hear what the typical voter says was their reasoning for voting to reintroduce the wolves was. Was it hoping to see a wolf in the wild, anti hunting, other states have them?, etc. Were voters just naďve to to the ramifications of reintroductions. I never heard how the wolf loving groups encouraged the passage of the initiative to the voters. All  can say is be careful what you wish for. Colorado has/had the highest population of elk of all the states and that will come to an end.

Whats interesting is that Oregon's wolf population is similar to WA yet they gave five wolves to Colorado and killed six wolves all in a month.

   Typical voters are mindless drones voting party lines or feelings.

   I prefer things the way they were pre wolf. I am also open minded enough to understand I have a selfish view on their impact to game populations. However, its not the wolf  as the creature I hate. Its the complete disregard of their impact on the landscape by the majority of wolf re introduction stakeholders, and failure to acknowledge that human impact and consumption MUST be factored into their numbers and management strategies. Wolves are back. Shoot on site and trapping will no longer hurt their populations. As long as the strychnine stays locked up, they will be healthy and happy. Quit moving them. Start hunting them.

  well said. The fact that Colorado voted to "reintroduce" wolves when they already had them is sickening. They used the same talking points to sell voters on the idea they used in Idaho over 30 years ago. Of course we never got to vote on it in Idaho. they just used the talking points to assure everyone everything would be great 😂i

SHOOT - SHOVEL - SHUT UP

Geezus. What do they say about those who forget history?  I’ve said it a 1000 times you cannot introduce an Apex predator into an establish ecosystem and expect it to work. Idiots
