Tracks don't make necessarily indicate a wolf kill to me because they could have been scavenging a carcass. How do we know she didn't die calving?
Dogs could have killed this cow also, who knows? Wolves are just becoming a convienient scapegoat.
Tracks don't mean a thing....coyotes eat on carcasses all the time- that doesn't mean they killed it.

The cow had already had the calf a few days before. The problem with not dealing with a few stock killing wolves when it happens is they will turn other wolves into stock killers. In Montana a pack of 23 wolves were shot for killing livestock. The scapegoat excuse will not fly here for very long, this wasn't the first cow that wolves in the Methow have killed and the one up Hornet draw won't be the last. SF may be able to bs the fan, but not the players. This is an exzample of why wolves are so hard on ranchers, the pro-wolf people will blame everything else before the truth that a wolf killed the ranchers stock. 90% of wolf killed stock are not compensated for, if the stock is not investigated very soon then it will more than likely not be confirmed, and from the looks of things in SF's case, will never be confirmed.

the world or atleast our country is just going to crap, all i hear about any more is how the gov, and obama is screwing the working man, and how the FS and wolfs and anti's are screwing hunters which ARE/IS the working man... sometimes i think a good revolution is just around the corner.... :dunno:

Don't let it get you down, take one battle at a time, try to change or help change the things you think you can, and don't worry about the thngs you can't. No one knows the future. Except Idaho, Montana an Wyoming, they can tell you what the wolves will do to the state of Wa.
