That is HORRIBLE. Who would eat a wolf? (and before anyone says it, it's just my belief. Don't kill anything you won't eat unless in self defense. It's called hunting, not killing)
The fact is, 99% of "hunters" don't have the skills to actually stalk and hunt game animals. Even the books by "experts" are a big joke, filled with tips on tree stands and ground blinds. They have no idea how to tread quietly through the forest. Nor can they follow animal signs and tracks. It's a lost art, given up to lazy "hunters" who sit in a tree stand and put out a bushel of apples or a salt lick 75 yards away. Then they use their overly powerful super scoped rifle and just wait for the deer to come along. Their success rates reach near 100% every season. My success rate is less than 20%. My success in WA is at 0%. But for me it's about the hunt, the chase, and the thrill of being in the wilderness. I'm a hunter, not a killer. [/color] --- Cascade Hunter---
That is HORRIBLE... ...To me, it's for law enforcement/rangers/government to take care of over-population of wolves...
Not too many are going to eat a wolf... but they sure as hell are going to eat a hell of a lot of deer and elk if you dont kill em.To me, it's for law enforcement/rangers/government to take care of over-population of wolves. I just don't believe in sport hunting.

Don't kill anything you won't eat unless in self defense. It's called hunting, not killing)How many animals have you killed within 20 yds from you??? From Cascade HunterI grew up hunting deer in the Greenhorn Mountains in CA.My grandfather taught me from a young age how to "hunt." He beat into my brain that real hunters never use a tree stand or a blind or a scoped rifle. He taught me how to track deer, and wouldn't let me have ammo for my 30-30 rifle until I could sneak up on a deer and toss a small rock at it and scare it away. It took me my first 3 hunting seasons to accomplish this task. I will never forget my grandfather's words, "If you have to shoot an animal from more than 50 yards, you haven't hunted it, you just killed it."To this day I carry a Marlin 30-30 lever action without a scope for deer, elk and black bear. Every game animal I have harvested has been from within 20 yards. I don't use scent covers, attractants or calls and lures. Just simple camo and my rifle.
