GG...you've only touched on the exterior of the problem. We have a bunch of socialist/communists in this country who don't have a clue..or have more than a clue and want to change the world to their ideal..and doing it in little pieces is how it's done. The wolves are just wiping the elk out..not because they kill 'em all. They keep 'em from breeding. The bulls don't even bugle cause it's like a dinner bell for wolves..so is a gun shot for wolves and grizz. If they don't bugle though the breeding cycle is really messed up..kind of a necessary part of breeding. The elk calf crop is under 10% in most of the units in my neck 'o the woods. No way to sustain a herd that way..especially since the wolves are breeding like flies and the lifespan of an elk is shorter than a wolf. The Good ol boys are killin a few..even without a season. I'm proud of 'em. We as hunters, paid to bring the elk back from the brink of extinction..now our dollars are paying to destroy the herds. This doesn't make sense. Hunters have paid since the 30's..willingly..not it is time to tell those people in Washington..no more. Do we NEED wolves?? Of course..but they were here, Not many but they were native to this country..not these imported killing machines we have no control over.. for political reasons.
