Why Do I Hate Wolves? Here's Why.

[patocazador]

Wolves in Wyoming killed 19 elk in one night out of a herd. They didn't eat most of them .. just let 'em lay.

I think of wolves like I do coyotes. When I see them, I kill them.

Wolves have devastated the elk and mule deer population in much of the USA.

Yeah, you can thank Bruce Babbitt, Interior Sec'y under Bill Clinton, for the dramatic increase in the wolf population.

They ought to turn a pack of wolves loose in every "wild" (feral) horse refuge. A few thousand less feral horses and burros are a good thing.

No way, Wolves only feed on the old, sick and calves.

This is my understanding as well. If wolves were inclined to mass killings at every opportunity, 
they would have decimated the natural world balance and left themselves without herds to hunt.

Members of the weasel family are the main predators besides humans noted for their 
desire to kill beyond their need for food. We seem to enjoy it for itself.

Let them eat horse.

I think we need to gather up a few wolves and send them to Pennslvannia ave.

Elk Kill Update

UPDATE: Here's the photo of the elk killed and left by the wolves.

They don't look sick to me. They look dead.

I've seen videos of a pack of wolves going after a healthy looking bull elk. They never got it, but they sure tried. The bull saved himself by going in the water. The wolves got bored with waiting and left. Not sure if they could have got the bull down if no water was around. I'm thinking they could have.

Our game animals have not been the same since the "Feds" dumped those Canadian wolves loose not far from our back door. I will now pretend I did not see this thread...............

Anti's are trying to get wolves in Colorado, but we voted it down. They're still trying. Bastards!

 

[BigAl52]

If I saw one while hunting I would shoot it and claim self defense. How would they prove different

 

[Whokalouie]

One not so sharp fella did this. He shot a wolf (before Idaho had a season) and it had a GPS collar on, so he thought the best way to dispose of the evidence was to throw wolf and all in the river. As he neared the river with the wolf in the truck bed he was almost home free. Then here was F&G around the last corner waiting for him. They pointed to the sky and there was a plane locating wolves that day! Yep, true story. That is how Al.

I'll bet this guy had a time loading this wolf in the bed of his vehicle.

Bury it and don't tell anyone.

Was this collar visable and why if you were in a forest would you even care especially if your claiming self defense. Not saying it isnt possible just saying in this case by taking the wolf and trying to cover it up he opened himself up for this situation. Al

 

[Whokalouie]

Only that tracking plane may be over head. They would still know if you buried a tracking collar.

John

 

[Muley Hunter]

I'd pass on one with a collar. They'll never believe the self defence tale. One wolf isn't going to attack, and if it was a pack you'd be dead.
