Wolf Activist Put $10K BOUNTY on WY Wolf Hunters

I killed a wolf in 2012 in MN when they had their first season. MPR interviewed me when I registered it. A couple of years later I discovered a folder in my Facebook Messenger that I didn’t know existed. It was absolutely full of death threats. Probably pushing 100 of them. It was funny reading them after so much time had passed. I’m glad nobody actually killed me.
 
In KY, when you kill a deer, turkey, elk, and I think bear, you have to telecheck it. Meaning you call in to an automated service where you enter identifying info, sex of the game harvested, beard length, number of antler points, etc. You get the idea. Anyway, anyone can go on line to Fish and Wildlife’s website and search the data base by name, county of harvest, etc. and see the names of those who’ve killed. Now we don’t usually have folks trying to dox us, so I can see where this would be a problem. Two can play at that game though.

I’m surprised the database is publicly accessible down to identifying individuals who harvested game. Typically that’s scrubbed and only bulk statistics are available to the public.
