I've been closely following the posts in a couple of sites popular with wolf lovers over the past couple of months. Those people are pretty passionate about their causes. They've been given everything AND MORE required for the de-listing. And, do you think they're happy now? They are really up in arms about the Wyoming management plan - can't handle the thought of even a single wolf being taken, with a few exceptions for predation of sheep/cows.
Three years ago our hunt was ruined by these blood-thirsty predators. We were warned that they had been sighted in the area where we were packing into - an area where we'd seen PLENTY of large bucks and bull elk and moose in the prior several years - an area way outside of Yellowstone. That year we saw 1 29" buck, no doe, a lone cow elk, no moose. No meat for us that year.
This year, the wolf is not protected where I and my 2 boys will be hunting. Maybe we'll see wolves - maybe not. At least if we do see any, we won't need to worry about the lawfulness of removing them. (yesssssssss)
Anyway, we need to be careful about providing the wolf lovers with any ammunition that help them in their causes. They are intent on filing lawsuit after lawsuit until they get their way.
Oh, and yes they are keeping a close eye on sites like MM
