Wolves take out 176 Idaho sheep

[ERSS]

Sounds like the wolves ran them to death. Never been a big Siddoway fan, but hate to see this happen to anyone.

That is a good start of ridding the planet of range maggots.

Big wolf fan after reading that!

Some animals just shouldn't be on the landscape if they are not evolutionarily fit.

Dont worry, the Federal and State governments will make sure the owner of the sheep is compensated via the tax payers.

I'd say the biggest loss was the dozen wolves that were removed from the area.

I'm betting those sheep will be worth nearly record prices by the time it hits the state for a damage claim.

You can guarantee a profit will be made. Siddoway is a former F&G commissioner that many, me included, believe ran for and became Senator specifically to protect his own elk farm/ranch/hunting facility and sheep interests. I see him as a slightly more rational version of Rex Rammell.

Pretty tough not to make a profit with subsidies, cheap federal grazing leases, compensation for predator loses, and paying their sheep herders less than minimum wage.

Glad the independent, free market, I dont need the Federal Government Marlboro man is alive and well...

Sheepherders for the Siddoway Sheep Co. heard the wolves at about 1 a.m. Saturday

Sounds like it's the herders who should get the bill for the dead sheep. They heard it happen, but wouldn't go protect their flock? WTH?

I think the reality is that a bunch of sheep killed themselves while in the presence of a couple wolves, sheep are born just looking to die it seems.

Not too much to worry about, they're being well compensated.

Ha! I was just looking up some of our local recipients on that website yesterday....

Thanks for the link Tone, that is crazy. Kinda interesting how there are no six digit years since elected to Senate in 2006. In fact a steady decrease, until possibly this year. Wonder what one sheep is worth on this inflated scale.

In Colorado, Colorado Parks and Wildlife would just compensate him with sportsman's dollars.

Looks like he knows the Federal game, too.

I don't like Siddoways or sheep. The damages should be equally divided among those who voted for the reintroduction of wolves. (Although I do now see an upside to wolves)

My goodness there is no justice in this world.

I'm buying a flock of sheep.

Things are absolutely worthless unless dead or the guberment is getting involved.

Maybe the hunting gods are seeking retribution for his attempts to get rid of federal public land?
