I don't trust the numbers...but it's DFW generated so that's not a surprise...
Kudos to the Colville for stacking em up :tup:

Like some say, “skewed math”. :dunno:

It doesn’t make sense, folks I know are seeing more wolves and a lot more sign in the last couple years than they’ve ever seen!

Post by: JustinD on August 21, 2025, 07:07:28 AM: They’ll always lie about the count so they don’t get delisted. Or they’ll wait till they totally outlaw predator hunting in the state to delist them.
