I hate to laugh at this guy but i am...he thinks all the money is "pro wolf" as he makes money and gets on the Joe Rogan show being "anti-wolf". Money is on both sides of this issue to fight it for a long time. Fact is...a non-public land/wildlife user has just as much of a say as a public...
It's tough in a global economy to become an isolationist country. At the same time, it's nearly impossible to control other countries and make them abide by our morals and values. Yes, we should try to invoke change in other countries...yes we should stop it from happening here and yes we...
You don't seem like the type that would let your dog roam around in a field full of sheep and cattle so i doubt he would have gotten your dog. I had a lab that got loose from my house when it was young. A rancher brought it back and let me know i was really lucky but i wouldn't be lucky twice...
I didn't talk to him yesterday...i spoke to him last year prior to hunting season. I also wrote his top end estimate...which it was...which is why he gave a 25% kill rate. Also, the percentage is a bit higher due to non-hunting or trapping deaths...if you want to add more jello. Name another...
The biologist's estimate was around 1100 wolves based on actual count and population estimates. He said that at the top end assuming a lot of wolves were hiding, the number would be 1500. You are also picking this year which is the lowest number of wolves killed in Montana and when I spoke to...
If they are already there...then it's not re-introduction. It's bolstering the existing population. If it's like MT, there's a good chance they will be allowed to hunt them quicker due to the extra wolves being brought in. They will have a connected population with WY and also ID and MT. It...
Correct...never hunted in Oregon. There's been 2 wolf attacks on humans in the lower 48...so not a lot of risk to humans. If you live in an area that you've tracked wolves near your house...i would probably keep pretty good track of my kids as well as my dog. That's what good owners/ parents...
His name was Jay Meyer...he taught elementary school for 25 years according to the article I just read. I only met him a couple times. I think he just recently retired (within the past 5-6 years).
That if you want to cure a problem...deal with the real problem. I'm good with wolf hunting and controlling their population but i have little to no sympathy for a guy who has no idea where his dog is and the dog is killed. I feel bad for the dog who has a crappy owner. Wolves aren't nearly...
I spoke to a MT wolf biologist...interesting guy to talk to. The numbers of wolves aren't as high as people think. I believe his top end estimate was 1500 in MT. Bears are about 10-15 times that and mt lions are 5-6 times that. But wolves by far do the most damage (sarcasm). The biologist...
Yep Hank Meyers...i saw a few of his casualties and my uncle had his dog shot in the butt. My uncle took it in stride...my aunt wasn't happy with Hank. His son is much nicer i believe. He hung the dogs on Middle Burnt Fork road across from the old school/ church.
More cattle and sheep are killed by domestic dogs than wolves each year. More humans are killed by domestic dogs each year. People don't take care of their dogs and then wonder why they get killed or injured. How about this...since more dogs are killed by vehicles each year...near the dogs...
In the interface areas around here, people learn quickly that fido needs to be watched a lot closer. The only people i feel bad for are houndsmen...beyond that, a dog running around jumping on me while i'm on a trail gets little sympathy. In fact...leash laws are state laws unless under voice...
The good part of this is I will have a gun...my 2A is safe! I can now use my firearms as a prop for the public land animals that I will have gotten in the foregone past in MT. My deer mount above the mantle with the rifle I got it with...it'll be the rifle's only use.
