Wolves have not made hunting any more difficult for me, yet. But I have several friends/family in areas where they have made game largely dissapear as they move into an area and either decimate the populations of prey species and/or the prey species move out because of the wolves. I listen to these people and many others. People I know and respect that have witnessed big changes. My father in law has been stalking elk only to then see wolf tracks come into the following the same elk track, then a few minutes later hear multiple wolves howling just ahead in what appeared to be an indicator of just killing the elk my father in law was following. He backed out rather than risk running into a pack of wolves.
I've ran into wolves multiple time between time here in Washington and Vancouver Island. Vancouver Island has a large populations of wolves that are causing all kinds of trouble. There are several well documented cases of wolves attacking camping sea kayakers on remote beaches on Vancouver Island.

Which liberal pile of sand are you sticking your head into?
It doesn't take to much effort to find many of these examples...make some effort. Many examples from your own area.
I'm not demonizing wolves, I'm demonizing the politics surrounding them. That should be pretty clear, if what I wrote is actually read. You are taking a classic liberal tact of twisting my words and falsely trying to use them against me. It won't work.
So the invasive, non-native wolf kills off huge amounts of game the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation have produced and hunters have largely paid for and routinely attacks humans, their pets, their domestic animals. What part of this is good? 'Wolf populations are a success', you say? Hmm... That's an easy 5 words to type that means nothing. By what standard? A political lie? Give me a break.
Have you read anything by Dr. Valerie Geist? One of the few willing to stand up against the liberal onslaught in this regard and speak truth?
I'm demonizing the fact that liberals that propogated this whole lie, abused the ESA in draconian fashion in a way that actually caused a whole sub-species of native wolf that was here in the Rocky Mountains to be forever removed from the earth. THAT concerns me and should concern anyone. If you want to understand anything, you have to go back to it's orgins, and when you do hear the other side of this issue, and specifically regarding it's origins of a non-native, invasive sub-species of wolf being illegally introduced to the lower 48, instead of sticking your head in the proverbial liberal sand and believing their brainwashing indoctrination, you start to understand the issue in a whole new way.
This introduced wolf is about the politics of the left. Period. Wake up and smell the roses.
Plenty of people getting it done? There are also plenty of people who aren't getting it done directly because of the 'lovable' wolf and those who foolishly introduced a non-native subspecies to an area it was never in previously. By what standard of yours must a hunter be 'man enough' to get it done? My wife shot 3 elk out of the North Yellowstone herd many years ago and that herd fed many familes for years. It is now at about 10% population of what it used to be. Was it over it's target back then? Sure. But not by that much and wolves were not needed to fix the issue. Instead now we have greatly reduced opportunity for many to fill their freezers because the wolves are reducing tag availability tremendously with their well documented 23 elk per year per wolf take.

And they don't just take the sick and lame. More liberal talking point nonsense to appease the unknowing. There are thousands of cases where sheep, elk, cattle, deer, horses are killed for the sport of killing only. That's what packs of wild dogs do often. I've seen it with my own eyes. My grandfather raised sheep close to town and had issues routinely with roaming packs of domestic dogs. I've seen mulitple bodies of my grandfathers sheep in fenced pasture simply killed for sport. Wolves do the same thing many times over. Many other instance abound. Do just a little bit of study.
Tell us about yourself, Northwoods. I'm starting to wonder about your background.
