That’s off to a good start! Bring in some repeat offenders. They are trained up and should be into some mischief in no time!
I'm a hunter and I dont hate wolves.
Wolf haters are rampant here but I am not one. Bunch of wolf hater meetings in Mn currently scheduled.
I live and hunt within 50 miles of the SWA release site, and as disgusted as I am, I agree (speaking for myself).
I would say there is less hate in me for the “wolf” they are an animal who does their thing just like other animals, I sure don’t hate coyotes, lions, or bears my blood pressure rises for the way they are being used as a tool or weapon by anti hunter/ enviro-nazis… the dishonesty that side uses, the moving of the goal posts ect…
A thousand time over! So true!
I agree with you but suggest they might be viewed as a similar to a savage and dangerous dog. It's the owner who is at fault, just as in this case it's the "experts'" fault. The dangerous dog pays the price. In this case the wolf pays the price. No, it's not fair but it's what needs to be done.
We can shoot them. But shooting them is damn difficult. I've spent probably 50+ days specifically hunting wolves in western MT the last few winters and am always a step behind. I have gobs of trail cam pics, kill pics, etc, but can not get the drop on them. Some do, though....
These states fill up with people from other places and they ruin what they ran to
I agree that the system is garbage. This rant isn't directed at you but I have to say it.
This, and very very few people pursue predators. Lots of vocal opposition and outcry, but it's damn quiet in the woods after general season in MT. Granted, access is difficult if there's much snow at all, but I actually prefer the solitude of the late winter opportunity. I'm trying to improve my predator hunting tactics and equipment and have begun something of a transition - apply for and hunt the limited draws, a trip or two for bucks and bulls with buddies for fun, but focus on a cow for the freezer, maybe a backyard white tail, and as much predator hunting as I can get away with. That's a year round hunting season!
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a “wolf hater meeting”. It’s more why does Hennepin county get to rule what happens when the issue doesn’t affect them; exactly what happened in CO. We are 2x? 3x? Our population goal and have been for many years. If you are from here, I’m sure you saw the countless new articles about the incredibly slow/low deer harvest this year. Was it all due to wolves? Of course not. Are they impacting hunting in general in the northern part of the state? I would lean more yes than no. And this was also in a year we would over harvest our deer goal being the crossbow was made legal for anyone..
No way I would go cuz I know the fact-less scenario will prevail.
Bears have a tendency to show back up to the place they were moved from. You have to ask what’s pulling them in a northerly direction so quickly?
