One day I punched in cougars on the web ..as I was looking threw a few pictures I hit a button which showed me pictures of 2 black & tan hounds that were ate up at the tree while the dogs were treeing a cougar ... killed them both and tore them up .. long story short the hunters were headed to tree with beeper collars and as they got close, the beeper was pointing in the same direction and coming from the same location but they could not hear the dogs and as they got there they saw blood everywhere in the snow and wolf tracks everywhere ..they were to sick to pursue the wolfs ... I would of been on a ram page .......

I'm not trying to start a pissing match, but aren't elk supposed to kill elk for food?  I view it as nature taking it's course and happy to see that it can still happen in this day n' age...

Also, if you are going to chase predators around w/ dogs you should be aware of the consequences...Geez dude.
Sorry, just get annoyed by clueless roadhunters tarnishing hunters' names.
Thanks.

Interesting first 2 posts... same with the screen name... I find that most new members have the best luck with stories and informantion after they have introduced themselves...  There is an introductions thread.

Elk don't kill themselves for food.  They are herbivore's.
If it was nature taking it's course, the reintroduction would have been natural.
Something wrong with taking your dog for a walk in the woods to check your trail cam's?

You are absolutely right wolfmoderate it is nature taking it's course, however "nature" has gotten way out of hand. Now it's time for natures course to change directions, cause it is also natural for us to take care of the wolf problem and remind wolves who resides at the top of the food chain.

wolf moderate ... Not to discourage people from joining our site but I must ask DID YOU JUST JUMP FROM THE SKY AND JOIN THIS SITE TO PROTECT THE WOLF ? Where did you come from and I personally think you should take a walk in the woods and she if you can pet those bad boys ... They are devasting elk populations in Idaho and other places ... all the hard work to get elk population where they are today is from sportsmen and other conservation groups So does it make sense to you to see this happen ?? of course it does So I guess I am a dumb--- for asking ! and how do you suggest we control predators like cougar ? I seriously think people like you are wack job !!! Just does not make sense to me when people have 0 brains .......The good lord has put these animals like elk on this earth for us to eat and I see it no other way !!! SORRY ABOUT THAT .....GOT LETTACE ?

[BOWHUNTER45]

And one more important point to Wolf moderate ...We never said kill all the wolfs , we just want to control them ...No sportmen I know wants to kill all the animals its called conservation ...thats it !

Sorry, just saw the pics linked to your site.  Thought it was cool to see.  then I read the childish stuff regarding SSS and cougar hunters dogs dying and got a bit hot under the collar. 

I live in Idaho and probably spend more time in elk country than 90% of you.  I missed a monster 6 point archery hunting out of the Stanley area and saw LOTS of wolf sign AND lots of elk.  Wolves should be managed by the states at a number between 300-600.  Just don't understand all the hate when a wolf kills an elk.  It's what they do.  Believe me though, when wolves are allowed to be hunted again, I'll be the first one in line to buy a tag.  There are too many in Idaho, but that doesn't mean they should be wiped out, just reduced in numbers and managed by the states.

Anywho, thanks for letting me post and hope to see you out in the mounains sometime!

If they were the same breed of wolf that was orignally here I wouldnt mind as much

[denali]

Welcome to hunt wa    wolf moderate, the difference is you live in a state that wants to actively manage wolves and if you are correct in the 300-600 # then Idaho and Washington will have the same no. of wolves, couple of problems with that we have half the pray base , 4X human population and less wilderness.

Sorry dude, but the whole introduction was unnatural, done by man, with a larger northern specie, and so you whole phylosphy holds no water. These are canadian wolves not northwestern wolves. It would be like putting Saskatchewan whitetails in Florida and expecting the Florida whitetails to compete. Or like putting alaska moose in washington and expecting shiras moose to compete.... 

Sorry, just get disgusted by cluless people making poor management decisions.

Hate to see that, but it's reality at it's finest.
