Another one bites the dust: dead transplanted wolf in Colorado

What happened to Gardiner hunting?

You're a history book, why don't you compare and contrast hunting there in 1985 and compare it to now.

Funny what 2300 late cow tags a year does to an elk herd.

Any more questions?

They should have put these wolves in rocky mountain/estes park.

Far away from any ranching, far from where they'd easily get poached/trapped, and where all the people of colorado could get a live look at the nature they wanted to see.

Are you under the impression that RMNP is fenced?

More controversy. I never ever ever EVER saw this coming

No new wolves this year.

No

Then why on earth would you think that would work?

One female did make it to RMNP on her own but was killed by a lion last year.

Spot on. Throwing wolves into an all you can eat buffet is alot different than them coming back on their own.

Meanwhile you’re out smashing multiple cows with some 2 year old rag bulls a year, beating your chest about your 90 something elk kills for internet approval.. but ya wolves and government suck overall

Cheer up, you might shoot your second elk one of these years.

Pretty lousy hunter thats threatened by the big bad wolf.

Do your wear a lot of red by chance?

Totally right once again: wolves, especially when unmanaged, have zero impact on ungulate numbers (or behavior), especially elk.

The good thing about wolves, it gives hunters like you an excuse for not shooting an elk every year.

You under the impression that those elk were from somewhere other than yellowstone? You're smart enough to see those populations and the pummelling that herd took, mysteriously after 1995.

Then why on earth would you think that would work?

I don't think they'd stay there in perpetual fashion. Long enough for some famed elk to get ate.
