The truth about the wolves

[luvtohnt]

WDFW are not going to be smelling like a rose when everything comes out and all is said and done I can tell you that right now. Funny thing about the truth, when it stinks to high heaven and the blind can see the lies then something is sure to give. WDFW went out of their way to make an example of the White's, which really opened up the wolf issue in Washington, you might say WDFW sh$t in their own nest. Now their fat is in the fire and I'm betting there is a lot of finger pointing going on inside WDFW headquarters.

So when the DNR and WDFW merge maybe all the wolf employees will be the ones that are let go!!

We will never be that lucky, it will probably be the other way around....

ODFW Releasing wolves on the sly

I was in John Day, Or. 2 weeks ago, up Canyon Ck. Rd.(the 15 Road) and stopped to talk to one of the guys who grooms the snowmobile trails. Naturally the topic of hunting came into the conversation which then lead to my opinion of the wolf population creeping into the N.E. portion of Oregon. He said the population was getting some help from the ODFW as he had witnessed a few weeks earlier 2 collared wolves being released close to where we were standing(within a mile). This is on the S.E. side of the Strawberry Mt. Wilderness Area. I was horrified and asked him how they could do this and where the approval came from. His answer was that they apparantly didn't need any approval and they just do what they want as secretively as they want. Needless to say this guy was fit to be tied as a hunter and outdoorsman in one of the best big game hunting areas in the state. Weather his information was true, I cannot be certain, but if so, it would be a trajedy for that region. I hope someone has the means to verify this and will reply as to its validity.

Western States Sportsman just posted this pic on their Facebook page.  I had not seen it before and thought I would share.  I didnt want to start a whole new thread and figured anyone that is into the wolf issue is probably on this thread.
 
This is the title of the pic.

22 Wolves = 10,000 missing elk in the Lolo valley in Idaho. Not to mention the rest of the state.

There will be more photos like that cropping up as time goes by. Wonder how many deer/elk per year that group requires? I think it figures out to roughly 1,000 deer or 300 elk according to government studies.

Only one breeding pair per pack....my big toe.  The only way a super pack like that would stay together is if they were well fed.

One truth about wolves is that if you have a snowy winter with a firm crust, you will have years of bad hunting afterwards.  That is the story in MN now days - you won't even see a deer in places where 5 years ago I would see 20.  In those kind of conditions, the wolves will go kill as many deer in their winter yards they can and leave them lay.  The deer can't get away because their legs break the crust of the snow and they get mired
