More fuel for the antis'....

Actions like this do nothing to move us closer to proper hunting and population control for wolves.

I assumed he was being sarcastic about it being "sad".

 

[elkbowkevin]

yes. sarcasm does not come through on the internet, and tipsntails is also right, NOT what we need to happen in the times we're facing.

But it does not surprose me one bit knowing the general "vibe" about wolves in the are that they had moved into.

Sad. What about OR01....OR27? There's some more RE WARD rovin' 'round out there, boys! I've got a Jerky Boys skit fomenting in my head, callin' state police and asking about how many re wards are still left, and how many they think I could get if I hunt real hard. (I'm totally kidding btw...)
