Would like to inform people of MM about the meeting last night at the Mowers home. Sportman need to be aware of the magnitude of this wolf problem, When you see what is happening in these western states it is shocking how out of control the population of wolves is getting.Elk heards in places of montana, wyo, and idaho are dwindling to nothing, the moose herd around jacksonhole is down to only a few animals, I have friends and clients that live in big piney and pinedale wyo who will tell you that the wolves in these areas have no fear of man and are having there way with elk on the winter feed grounds, another outfitter friend told about a band of bighorn sheep that winter high in the windriver mountains that were all killed by wolves this winter.This problem will not go away unless ALL sportsman unite together and win this war Bill HR6028. It was a impressive crowd at the meeting Represenitives from all western states, both REP and DEM. It goes to show that it is not about which party you represent but that all sportsman need to jump on the wagon together and DELIST WOLVES.
There is a web site http://biggameforever.org that everyone needs to check out to see what you can do to take part in this issue. SFW,MDF,RMEF have all come together to fight this it is a impressive team of people, Ryan Benson is the national director behind BIGGAME FOREVER. Very sharp guy.
I can tell you that it is going tocome down to who wins the vote, We as sportsmans have never seen such a more urgent issue in wildlife consevation.I would like to say thanks to Tom Mower for hosting the meeting and thanks to Miles Morretti, Don Peay,Bill christensen, Ryan Benson and all others involved for having the wit and balls to take on this issue,As just a every day sportsman I did not realize how big of a issue this is until the meeting last night.
So for all who read this post get involved and tell all of your hunting friends to vote on the wolf delisting......Paul Pennie
 
If anyone should pay attention to this issue, it is ELK HUNTERS, because Elk #s are going down first to Wolves!

I was struck by how critical it is for every HUNTER to join in the fight. If you post here, but are willing to stand on the sideline of this battle, then you might as well be an anti-hunter. They have money and political power behind them now, but if we all stand together and offer whatever we can (financial or making calls, or whatever we can) then we will WIN.
Get involved and join Big Game Forever if nothing else!
It is a cheap to join and every penny will fight for the cause.

Step up or lose it all!

Paul,
Maybe this will get more people's attention when there are only 10 moose tags and 100 elk tags statewide because the wolves have eaten the rest of them and it takes 30-40 bonus points to draw a tag.

I'm guessing that as I'm typing this someplace in Southern Idaho, OR Northern Utah a small pack of wolves are eating someone future trophy..... and a pretty good guess that several of the wolves are pregnant females.

I don't have much in the way of money to donate (But maybe with my next check I'll get the $40 membership and get the "Eat Organic: t-shirt). I did however, just now, upon reading about this and everyone's support, wrote to all of the congressional representatives in Utah asking that they support HB6028. It's really the first step I've taken to actively support an issue that I'm behind you guys with 100%

De-List the wolves, or we will soon be listing elk, deer, and moose alongside them...

Feds comply with court order on wolves
October 26th, 2010 @ 11:10am
By Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it is publishing an official rule putting gray wolves back on the endangered species list in the Northern Rockies.

Tuesday's announcement follows an Aug. 5 federal court order that forced the cancellation of wolf hunts planned in the region this fall.

That order from U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy reversed the government's 2009 decision to lift protections for wolves in Idaho, Montana and parts of Oregon, Utah and Washington.

The Fish and Wildlife rule formalizes Molloy's order administratively.

There are more than 1,700 wolves across the Northern Rockies including Wyoming, where they were never taken off the endangered list. That number increased slightly last year despite hunts in Montana and Idaho.
