Wolf Verification - Help Needed

I tend to agree that the populations Should be managed with disregard for state boundaries.  Clearly the wolves don't know the difference.  The problem with that approach is evident with the whole wyoming management debacle.  Those animals are being managed as a population (within the region) and idaho and montana are being screwed by wyomings plan (or lack of).

I disagree with this rationale. I think Wyoming has it right and they are being screwed by MT and Idaho. Just my opinion, that's all.

But at this point, the best thing to do is for everyone to support HB6028 to remove wolves from the ESA altogether. I will start a thread on this bill if there isn't one already.

Dale...I don't see anything on that bill on here anywhere.
Bring the info on!!

i think all of the states should adopt wyomings plan.

well said, the way things are going most/all states will adopt Wyoming's plan at some point  ( and yes Wyoming does have a plan)     if any of you think that any western state will be allowed to manage wolves as they/we manage other wildlife, game animals you are sadly mistaken, the lawsuits will pile up.

judge Mallroy only ruled on the question of political boundaries, wolf advocates had 4-5 other issues in the lawsuit do any of you think they will stuff their hands in their pockets and go home ?

Well said Grundy and Denali. I am in favor of Wyoming's plan too, they have had it right from the beginning. They have provided a plan to allow for the wolf numbers required by the ESA, but they want to keep wolves out of the populated areas of the state and away from livestock. The reason their plan hasn't been approved is because the feds and greenis want uncontrolled wolf numbers throughout Wyoming and every state.

Last year or the year before there were wolves spotted near Ashford.
Yesterday, I spotted a lone wolf in Packwood area.
