Man is a natural progression of nature !!!!!!! We didn't
SCREW ANYTHING UP!!!!! ,
WE SIMPLY CHANGED IT !!!!, AS GOD INTENDED IT TO BE !!!! .
I'm also sick and tired of the G&F know it alls telling people that the wolf they saw was a coyote !!!.
The wolves have decimated Wyomings western Moose herd around Yellowstone and Jackson and are now moving into the Big Horns of Wyoming and have been seen as far as Denver CO, Eagle CO (road killed), Sundance, WY, Pierre, SD. (rancher kill).
There was for years a small group of indiginious wolves living in Yellowstone NP which are no longer in evidence, they were in all probability, killed by the "re-introduced" wolves. A really GOOD SHOW by the greeny controled NPS & USFWS. By the way, try getting the info on how much the "re-introduction" of the wolves trapped in Canada and those now being raised here have and are costing us in Pittman-Robertson and Dingle-Johnson Funds.
All they'll say is the data is "incomplete"and therefore unavaliable!!!! Bull Crap !!!! Another lie by the greeny USFWS
Recently a sheep rancher near YNP had over 50 sheep killed this summer by wolves. He was compensated for 1 kill and only then because that sheep died in a mountain stream which kept the carcass well enough to be examined allowing determination of the species animal which killed it.
Only a very few of the wolf slaughtered sheep had signs of being partially eaten !!!!
Some western Wyoming elk herds are down to a calf elk survival rate of only 7 per 100 births, that coupled with hunting, winter kill and old age death is not a sustainable cow/calf ratio.
Guess who will take it in the shorts with reductions in opportunities? IT sure as He** won't be the wolves will it?
Nope, Hunters will be screwed AGAIN!!!!
BTW, it's "shoot-shovel & shut up".
Darned good advice !!!!!
