Several wolves well-known among Yellowstone wildlife watchers were killed in Montana during the 2012-13 hunting season. They were among 12 wolves living primarily in Yellowstone that were killed that year after crossing into adjacent areas of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
Under pressure from the park and advocacy groups, Montana wildlife commissioners tried to set up a no-kill buffer zone east and west of the town of Gardiner in 2012.
:chuckle: How big of a "buffer zone" do they need to create to keep their pets from being killed in Idaho and Wyoming?

In typical antihunter mentality they allowed wolves to overpopulate in YNP, as a result the food sources were severely limited, now wolves move out of the park to find food. It should be open season when wolves leave the park, you can never please these anti hunting idiots anyway, end of story.
It seems clear as day to anyone paying attention. They wouldn't leave the Park if their numbers were sustained by prey within the Park. One guys is quoted as saying the people who visit the park should be heard. Wouldn't these people want to see a variety of animals which includes not only wolves, but elk, bison, moose, and deer? Without controlling the wolves, they're not going to.

Problem is the wolf lovers are the ones being heard. This is usually thru lawsuits. The population goes above the agreed upon quota, the state wants to control the number, then the lovers sue the state dragging it out so the population goes out of control. If you think that they don't want to eliminate hunting altogether you are fooling your self.
And, you have media outlets like MTPR calling the DOW and HSUS "conservation groups". They do as much conservation as I do full splits. I can't figure out if public broadcasting is really that stupid or if they're just incredibly biased, or a little of both. I know all of these public broadcaster outlets use "reporters" who are around 12-15 years old, seemingly. Probably fresh out of college with all kinds of ideas implanted into the empty spaces.

Do you realize you are discussing WDF&wolves partners?

That sounds like a pretty conservative harvest and could mean more wolves not less.

I think wolves should be managed like other wildlife
Me too. Specifically, like coyotes
