Ive always felt the anti's were/are behind this, as just another angle to stop hunting. They get wolves introduced and established, and lets use the west Yellowstone elk herd as an example....at which point do you step in and protect a specific herd of elk/deer before they get chewed to the point they disappear? They can effectively lobby to put certain herds in specific regions under the protection of the state, slowly but surely ending hunting in small areas at first, that will only expand to whole regions.....you have antis in State Wildlife agencies, and more importantly in local , city, county and state political offices. The war will rage on.....we need to know who our political friends are.......the few, for sure. R
