It's a matter of time before wolves will be shot on site by hunters and ranchers on a regular basis. Once we learn to shoot and shut the hell up nothing will be done to control the population. No one is going to give a rats azz about the numbers here because this state is not willing to listen, besides, by then it will be much too late. I bet right now if 10 hunters went out to shoot a wolf, they would be lucky to see 1 in a two week period. Most sightings are from people just driving to the store or church, seldom does a hunter happen on to one and less often a pack. Trappers will be needed and they better start damn soon to even hope to get a handle on this problem, otherwise, keep your pets and guns close and a watchful eye on your livestock, they WILL start disappearing.
30 years ago I thought wolves were cool, I wanted to go see them at Wolf Haven, never made it though. They always seemed to be mysterious animals almost hypnotizing, I never believed for one minute they were killing machines because I never really looked beyond the beautiful colors and thick fur. Well, now that has all changed and I'm certain now that if they are not controlled in a big way, like a year round open season, we are going to begin seeing the same real problems that Idaho is just now trying to fix. The only way for Idaho to control their problem is to let the wolves kill everything and move on, starting now to control the problem is only barely scratching the surface. For every wolf kill, there are 10 or 20 and perhaps more new borns, you can't fight that fight without full support of the gubermint resources. None of us have the money, the time, aircrafts, or knowledge as an individual to fight these killers and to talk about it is a waste of time, you are only appeasing yourself.
It's sad that we are following Idaho's path, but then again, Wa. State has never had leaders in government, Wa. State has always followed on California's coat tails. What needs to change here is the leadership and with all the pansy azz liberals in this state we are doomed on so many fronts as hunters and sportsmen's. It is all too sad that we cannot organize as a group but even among this website there is so much bickering going on about personal opinions that it's easy to see why we cannot organize. Hunters tend to be the alpha personalities and we cannot even agree to disagree.
:twocents:
I suppose wolves are better than Bigfoots, otherwise we would have to provide shelter, food stamps and special education and jobs at our expense for killing machines.
:bash: :bash:

Here is a quote from my buddy in Kingston....."Three months ago a forest sevice cop shot one a quarter mile from my house while it was chasing his horses, found our dog guts ripped open last week, my sisters lab is now missing, a county cop a mile up the road found his two rotweilers stomachs ripped open and our neighbors horse was found with its throat and guts ripped open all in the last week. Thank u government. These r fantastic fing animals to have in my yard."
Pretty soon we will be in the same boat....he is only 40 minutes away from me.
Damn! I hate reading this. :bash:
