Shots fired in wolf war...by a bowhunter

[Dave Workman]

Shots fired in wolf war by Idaho archer

   
Environmentalist arguments that wolves do not pose a threat to humans took another hit when bowhunter Rene Anderson took what she is convinced was a defensive action and fatally shot a wolf that had moved aggressively to within ten feet of her on a remote ridge near Headquarters, Idaho.

I guess I can't understand why someone would be upset when  she killed it in self defense.  What is this world coming to when animals become more important than human lives.  Probably the same people that believe in abortion.

I'll never figure them out....save a whale, but kill a baby.    Save a wolf, kill hundreds of fawns.   GOOD FOR HER.   Way to pick a spot and ram it home!

Not entirely true.  I believe in abortion.  I also believe in the proper management of wolves to include killing them to keep their numbers in check

This is about wolves. Keep it being about wolves and don't pit us against each other with unrelated, polarized topics like abortion. We need to stand united because there's a whole group of organized, committed people united against us in this fight. Please consider that on your future posts.

hope you don't mind Dave but sent your story over to the wolf plan commissioners and stated the wolves are already starting to stalk humans for prey in Idaho how long until it is the same in WA.

[coyotewallace]

how long until it is the same in WA.

Damn right!!

If this was your daughter or wife...would it change your mind??

[boneaddict]

already happened to me Sebek this last fall.   Kinda spooky really.

i had to protect myself from a young tom when i first got stationed back at lewis at 2nd bat, shot the cat at 5ft, i am glad my son wasnt put in that situation and it makes it tough because i dont let him go off on his own and he is 16, but i have a feeling wolves will be alot worse because theu are alot more brasin and hunt in packs

Pianoman, you nailed it we need to stay united now more then ever we need to be logical and focused for the management of wolves.

This is the same story I posted about in the first half of this http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,84504.0.html but I did not want to share her name as she is a friend of a friend.

The second part is pretty chilling.

Im gonna start carrying the A098 with 2 30 rd mags on it.  A pack of wolfs would be hard to kill.

sounds like she had a tag as well. i don't see how there could be any hard feelings about what happened here. other than the fact that she was almost wolf food.

[Buckhunter24]

Not surprised to hear about this. Found too many wolf killed animals in the area the last few years..

So she gets heat because she was saving her life I am happy she killed a wolf but not happy on how she didn't have a choice. I hope the encounter didn't damage her love of hunting!

  i don't see the problem she had a tag she filled a tag. being forced to kill anything sucks but she had the tag to do so.  to her for being prepared if she didn't have the tag you know the anti's would want her head
