[fullthrottle]

Way to go Utah!

I see where the vote was 54 to 13 in the house. If I lived in Utah I would be writing those 54 people thank you letters and "enlightening" the other 13 people about how you feel and why.

It still has to go to the Senate.

This is one instance that UT has its act together.

For now. Demographics are changing the make up of this state quickly. Wait until the new residents of the state bring their California politics with them.

Currently happening in your neighboring states of CO and now in NM.

It sucks bad...

While I like it, it’s only a resolution. They’ll send it to Washington DC with a “pretty please” for them to do something, but the resolution will have no real force of law.

Good!!!! A few years ago i elk hunted up in Montana. After a few days I bumped into a warden & he asked if I had a wolf tag? I replied NO... He said, “I didn’t tell you this, but if you see one KILL IT... go into town and buy a tag”.
The wolves are really hurting the elk & deer herds up there. We definitely don’t need that in other states!!!

This will ruffle feathers I’m sure, but If wolves ever did take hold in Utah, I’d hope the sportsmen and poachers could combine forces and have an unwritten agreement that any wolf encountered gets shot with no worries of being reported. Utah wildlife has enough threats as it is. Wolves is the last thing they need

I’m aware it’s not apples to apples... But where I grew up back East we had a horrible problem with coyotes. A lone coyote really isn’t a threat, but we had packs of them from 6-15 yotes in a pack. They destroyed our turkey, quail & rabbit populations for years & found evidence of deer kills as well. During archery season one year, I watched a doe defending her 2 little ones from a group of coyotes. She charged & stomped at them for 15 or more minutes before running them off & safely escaping with her fawns. It was crazy!!! Every person that I knew that hunted would kill them on site. It took many years to get them under control, but it eventually paid off.
