Wolves being reintroduced into the ecosystem here in Wyoming are causing problems. I see comments suggesting ranchers "pen or fence in their animals." That is a naive statement. The government comes along, decides to take an action affecting thousands of lives and the solution is for the private citizen to take the penalty? These animals kill for pleasure. They are a danger to populated areas and should never have been reintroduced into an ecosystem that had rebalanced. Now the citizens are expected to pay the price for it while wolf advocates sit on the sidelines saying, "tough, deal with it" while they themselves are totally unaffected and have no actual stake in the situation.

Last time I checked there was no limit on bear or lion tags, but they are quite plentiful in Idaho and Montana. People who assume wolves are going to be wiped out by a state run hunting season are sorely mistaken. Just because Idaho sets a quota of 518 wolves; it doesn't mean 518 will be killed. People don't give the wolf much credit for being able to survive. They were only eradicated in the 19th century when poisoning was allowed. For the people that understand the importance of a season, not only to control the population, but to form a coalition of hunters who now want to wisely manage and conserve a new game species, vist <a href="http://www.huntwolves.com" rel="nofollow">www.huntwolves.com </a>for information about the new wolf hunts.

This reminds me of the Bambi lovers we used to have here in the east US. They were all up in tears over deer harvest until the browse line in local forests went way above their heads. Your wolf population is eating it's way through all the western US elk herds. With reasonable regulation, you won't kill them out, but they DO need to be regulated. Any wildlife management plan that does not also allow for the harvest of predators cannot hope to achieve balance. Think about it. Oh, c’mon wolf lovers.

For every predator taken a few more elk,moose,deer,&#38; antelope fawns will make it, Hopefully the hunt season for 09 will actually go through, keep your fingers crossed &#38; shoot straight wolves are way smarter than coyotes no need in educating them anymore than necessary. looking forward to hunting & trapping wolves in the lower 48 for now ill continue to try & get one or as many as i can when i go to Alaska or Canada, my best year was 134coyotes by trapping & calling i think a wolf would be the ultimate, i plan on using all 4weeks of my vacation to try & harvest a wolf along with as many coyotes as i can possibly get.

Try introducing a wolf into your work inviroment or even your local neighbor hood. The oldtimers killed them for a reason maybe you'll learn why. For all the wolf lovers out there.

This is no different than using an atv to haul your deer out of the woods. I speak from the position of a Wyoming hunter that uses a snowmobile to get to and from my hunting grounds during the winter. In addition, I know for a fact that King's would never post pictures of an animal if there was any suspicion that they were taken illegally or un-ethically.

I think there needs to be a regular hunting seson for them just like Deer, Elk , ect.with a drawn permit &#38; regulated amount of permits in each unit . That way there is more controle &#38; Ranchers have the Write to Protect there livestock by shooting the Wolves &#38; Providing PROOF they where Atacking there animals. I think Wolves are Beutiful animals but need to be controled, outside of the Parks they are fare game &#38; I would like the chance to hunt them someday. Best Wishes To All &#38; Happy Trails!

Here in Ontario that's what they do, the cattle still have alot of area to graze and no worries about wolf predation. What do you expect when you let cows roam about freely?? No kidding wolves are going to kill cattle. Those are beautiful wolves and huge! Why don’t ranchers and cattlemen fence in their cattle??
