Change " US National Park " to Stevens County  and change "moose" to deer. 

How about a special moose hunting season to deal with the moose????

I guess they don't know what a hunting season is.

It's a National Park, so no hunting. We wouldn't want to suspend the rules to save the moose population from starvation and feed families.

"The National Park Service hopes to take 20 to 30 wolves to Isle Royale over the next several years." You can have ours!  :tup:

What a joke. When are these people going to be held accountable for decimating our once great game herds?!? This is sad and disgusting

WTF?
That's ridiculous.
It's looking more believable that the Wdfw would drop wolves off here.

If they can drop them to control moose population we should be able to shoot wolves from the air here not herd them around like cattle here.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

 The title should read "4 MORE Canadian wolves"

This has been discussed here in the recent past.

I'm sure someone will attempt to torch me for this, but the place has been a giant science experiment for like 60 years.

What's got me wondering is if they're looking to give the almost non existent wolf pack a population bump, why would they send 3 males and 1 female? From a breeding standpoint, I'm not sure that makes sense.

Not up to speed on all the rules, I get that you can't hunt in a national park.  Apparently it is ok to fly more predators in to solve the over population. Is there a reason you can't fly the overpopulation out and supplement other areas?  That is what they are doing with the goats in the Olympic National Forest right?
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Is it a matter of controlling the moose population or is it a matter of wanting to keep the science project going?

The last I read before the population boost, there were 2 wolves left and they were too inbred to continue healthy breeding.

 :yeah: Once they add more wolves they have ruined the study. I think the idea would be to study it without intervention. Not very scientific to get in there and mess with stuff until you get the results you wanted? they should transplant the moose to help their depleted herds not wolves.

It's a matter of not understanding wildlife conservation. Trying to force animals to live somewhere they won't is contrary to everything we know about wildlife management. Clearly, an over abundance of food is available and the wolves either died or left the island as soon as an ice bridge allowed them to. I can almost guarantee that these 4 wolves will follow in the previous wolves' tracks. Our (or some people's) zeal for the resurgence of wolves in North America has blinded them to consequences and realities.
