Just out of curiousity,
How many people here have gone to meetings about the wolves?? And, how many have come with Ideas, not just gripes about the wolves and the government??
I've been following a wolf pack this winter, along with several other people. We track them EVERY day. I can honestly say that we haven't found a SINGLE elk or moose that they have killed which hasn't been completely consumed within two/three days. Do you realize how dangerous it is to try and bring down a bull elk, or moose?? Do wolves "sport hunt?" Yes, But so do humans.. And just like humans, it's not the norm.
I've learned a TON about wolves by following them every day, and even more, I've gained much respect for them. That being said, I totally agree that wolf management is a MUST.. But until everyone comes together with ideas besides S.S.S.,,, It's going to continue to be a mess.
You can poison wolves, but I PROMISE you'll end up killing tons of other species in the process. How people justify that in their minds I'll never know.
If you hate wolves with all your heart, I respect that. Just be sure and speak up about what you feel we can do at this point to maintain healthy populations of wolves and elk. It can happen, and it's going to happen..
