Wolf Hunting

On March 28/08, the government's imported wolves went off the endangered species list. Now we can hunt them-legally.
Among the lies the government and environmentalist wackos told us, was that when the wolf population reached 300, they would be taken off the endangered species list. There are now over 5 times that amount. If not for a few property rights advocates, and others, wolves would never be taken off the list.
It is sad when it takes lawsuits to get the government to keep their word-kind of.
We were told that wolves wouldn't leave Yellowston. We, who have lived on the land for generations, knew better, but there are a ignorant people who believe anything they see on tv, or in magazines.
Wolves have spread to Utah, Colorado, and South Dakota. Two collared wolves were killed on highways in S. Dakota. They've been spotted around Sheridan, WY. I saw one of them myself (naturally I didn't have a rifle).
I watched a wolf near Jackson, WY through a rifle scope. It was hard to not pull the trigger. Of course I would have been punished more than if I would have committed a crime against a human.
The wolves killed most of the baby elk from Yellowstone to Jackson. Things like that are always blamed on drought and hunters. Things weak minded people believe.
Another lie told: "there is no documented evidence that wolves have ever harmed a human being". The first thing they did was kill a government biologist, who helped bring them from Canada and babysit them. She was half eaten when they found her. I can't think of a worse way to die.
That was covered up by the leftist/liberal media-it didn't fit their agenda. As was all the other times wolves killed people, or just attacked them. And, killed pets, horses, calves, lambs, etc.
Government wolves (four legged kind), have cost taxpayers millions. For what? Do tourists need to come to Yellowstone Park once in their life to see a wolf? Zoos have wolves, and they're not killing baby animals.
On PBS's wolf propaganda shows once, some goofy tourists were watching a pack of wolves kiling a moose. A bloodthirsty woman said: "oh that is so beautiful". I don't think the moose, who was about the get her flesh torn from her bones, thought it was beautiful.
A few years ago, the cost of these imported baby animal killers was 10 million bucks. The amount is a secret now, but it is millions more. Now, Wyoming has to foot the bill. We have to pay for 4 full-time wolf babysitters. I am sure these guys have to be college educated biologists, and will be paid over 100 thousand a year. That may be as much as half a million bucks the taxpayers of Wyoming will have to cough up-every year.
With the war costing us billions a year, do we need the extra cost of imported predators? I am sure there are a lot of wackos who would rather pay for wolves than fund our life-risking soldiers.
The wolf promoters said wolves would balance nature. Unbelievably, there are people who believe that. They live in a city, and think they know about nature because they have a subscription to Sierra or PETA magazine. And, they think predators only kill the old and sick.
Sure, the moon is made of cheese, and Clinton never inhaled too.
Back when this country had some common sense, when there was too many deer, a hunter could get an extra license, and help get the population down where it needed to be. With the "dumbing down of America", that hasn't been the case for many years.
What do wolves do when they've killed all the baby elk in an area? Do they go hungry for a year or two? Do they go to Walmart and buy dog food to hold them over until the next batch of babies?
I give the governor and legislators of Wyoming`credit for doing what they could about this problem. I wish they could have done more. But, they didn' t cave like their counterparts in Montana and Idaho.
Meanwhile, I'm going hunting.....
