Careful, alleged people, your education, or lack there of is showing. You citified folks wouldn't survive here for a camp out weekend around the wolves. They don't discriminate. You ignorant city dwellers taste just as good as elk to them.
@hellrzr1966 thank you. all the city folk just think they look cool and all that bull shit. theres a reason they went extinct. spend a week in the woods with wolves when all you have is a tent to protect you. it gets scary.smoke a pack a day
you may want to do some research into the the reintroduction of wolves into Idaho/Wyoming/Montana. The original species was a grey wolf. The reintroduced species, although many call it a grey wolf, is better known as a timber wolf. It is larger and more aggressive. This was not the original wolf in these areas and is cause a lot of problems since its reintroduction. So before going against people who live in the area of non-native wolves... do your research.
You shouldn't blame man, most people are so fucking stupid to grasp reality so blaming us humans won't do any good to change peoples ways, i'm all for clean energy, not polluting our oceans and rivers, but after all i am human i like to eat, and the way i do that is hunt for wild game, Deer and elk populations are down to all time low numbers because the increase in wolves.
Note to ignorant Liberals from cities - People from idaho montana and wyoming have had enough, were tired of you people telling us how to control our wildlife, one day wolves will be gone, things will be back to normal and then you fucking liberal sons of bitches won't have anything to complain about.
@kingbridgetroll LOL - you have not heard - our species will be long gone and the animals we believe we have the right of dominion over will carry on as will Mother Earth - just without us - we are the only species so far that has failed miserably at being able to secure our own futures by living in harmony and in balance with Momma Earth and Nature - LMAO - I hope I am around to see it!!!!
@JoshMeyers2010 Wolves are endangered species and the population of wolves are decreasing each year, so if we continue to kill these beautiful animals, their won't be any wolves left in a couple of years
@L3GITSLAY3R You are completely wrong, where do you get this wolves are endagered shit! There are 60,000 gray wolves in North America, check and research before you comment.
The Canadian Grey Wolf is not native of Idaho, and is seriously disrupting the ecosystem. Parts of the state, there are no longer any moose where they used to thrive. The elk population is beginning to be decimated as well. Basically, those who are educated beyond their own intelligence tend to take on matters and express biased opinions they have not researched. If you do not like the facts, and concerns that are prevalent within the wolf problem in Idaho, I suggest you move. You are a twit!
i recall when wolves were reintroduced to Idaho. these wolves are three times larger than the original native timber wolves. that has a very disturbing effect on the natural ecosystem. it also has a very negative impact on cattle ranching. the reason the people of the entire northwest almost exterminated the wolf. is very simply that it is not conducive with people and there goals.
Exactly. these people fail to understand what kind of an impact these wolves have on the ecosystem. I think wolves are awesome animals no doubt but that doesn't change the fact that they wreak havoc on the elk, deer, and moose population. There has to be balance. I'd like to see how the wolf lovers react when these massive canadian wolves start gobbling up children in people's yards because all other prey has been eradicated....
i allways thought hunting was funny because we have grocery stores now very few people die of starvation here in the states no one's going to die if they don't bag a deer or trap a bobcat no one hell until i was 12 i thought hunting and trapping died out with the musket sadly an animal just having the right to live out it's life or just being important to the ecosystem is not enough anymore. People suck
You think they are predators???? We are predators too!!! Every year humans kill more than 100,000,000 and wolves kill less than 1,000 humans every year! See the deference? We are the predators, not them!
@ruj1970 aren't you worried that they might go EXTINCT if hunters like you kill a lot of them!?!?!?!? Imagine if were a wolf and a hunter was trying to kill you. Picture yourself in their place. What did they ever do to you!!!!! I bet you don't even have a reason to kill them, just for MONEY and SPORT. Stop being a murder! Stop destroying God's creation! Stop killing lives!!!!!!!
You make me sick, man. They're essential for ecological balance and I happen to have one. The best family member one could have. Loves kids and responds to family like a pack. We've gone from 52 species of wolves on this planet to 12. I'm a hunter too but I know when it's wrong. It's a damn good thing I don't know what you look like...... I might just make you extinct if I saw you in the woods. Hey.... I'd just say it was defense! "It's there for a reason!" ...... jackass.
Wolves need controlled just like everything else. I'm not saying slaughter all of them but they need to be properly managed so it doesn't throw everything out of balance. There's a reason the pioneers tried to kill them off...
Thinning the population is good. It doesn't help an ecosystem when man brings in the wrong wolves! Personally, It may have been better for everyone (including the wolves) if we had just used programs to support what was left of the LOCAL wolf population. And no, don't tell me that those wolves are extinct, there has got to be some wolves between Idaho and Northern Canada that aren't the big killers like we have brought in. Unfortunately, now these transplanted wolves have to be hunted down.
what people who don't live in Idaho think that we are a bunch of rednecks trying to kill off the wolf population when in reality some of the wolve packs need to thinned out in a couple areas hear in Idaho. i think that's the main misconception most people have about us Idahoans.
but you gotta admit the saying in Idaho we smoke a pack a day is pretty frigging hilarious.
Federal Wildlife Management has never been balanced or cared about the facts. They are influenced and funded by the U.S.H.S. which has been infested by biased hippies for the last 2 decades and has accepted more lobbying dollars than a mobster could provide. Take the idiot goggles off! You don't need access to populations surveys to tell that the Wolves have exceeded their target population number and need a trimming.
You are an Idiot!!! A pack of wolfs kill all the moose and every thing they can, until they eat them selfs out of food and starve them selfs. So i hope you like driving the country and seeing nothing. DUMB ASS!!!!!
in USA the only predator should be the man they try to eradicate any predatory species and the only animals that you could find in the wild should be the turkys deers elks and red neks who kill them,no wholves bears and other carnivore animals.That what they call ' control of the animal population. when the only population that we should control is the human population ,we are over 7 billion and growing rapidly but that is another story.Nice video
@rstoian8 Even with 7 billion people, you could fit all of them in Australia and each person would have over a 1/2 acre. You are not a wildlife expert, do not understand predator control, and believe everyone who hunts is a redneck. Piss poor argument. I find it funny people that have no clue about living off the land believe they are ones to educate such individuals.
@rstoian8 I am a big time hunter and have been for many years! I love animals! I love the animals i hunt! But if anybody is stupid enough to tell you that they think that hunters want to kill off a speices...well then they are very arrogant and very confused! Hunters and fishermen give millions and millions of dollars every year towards the protection of wildlife and there habitat. I don't think i could kill a wolf! But they do need to be managed properly. Proper management is the way to go.
@rstoian8 That is another story, only over 7 billion is more like it tho. Our numbers would be greater if it wasn't for eugenicists soft killing the masses. When farmlands are seized and not replaced this is the kind of artificial scarcity that is needed in order to blame the population of the people. But yeah the dude in the video and the whole kill wolves thing, that's only gonna be okay AFTER the crash of the dollar not before lol. Ron Paul 2012! INFOWARS.COM
@rstoian8 Yeah lets just kill humans to make you happy. What really amazes me is that we had wolves in Idaho before the reintroduction. They were smaller and didn't run in large packs. They were also very shy and wary which means they were rarely seen. The introduced Canadian wolves that were bigger and ran in much larger packs killed all the Idaho native ones off. By the way, wolves follow the game the excuse that the Elk have found new migration paths around Wolf habitat is BS.
Yeah wolves are amazing creatures... so are the Elk, Moose, Deer and Bison which are being pointlessly slaughtered by them. The hatred that this video shows is evidence that Federal Wildlife management has been ignoring the voices of people who have to live around and deal with woves for a really long time. I don't blame people for being angry on this matter, it just might take a wolf massacre to bring Elk and Deer populations back to vitality. Save the Elk regulate the wolf packs!
Im all for live trapping afew 100 wolves & grizzlies from my great state of AK & letting them loose in Hollywood...&.. Jew York's central park. The mnt lion's just loved all the wild sheep someone transplanted in Ca... brought back from extinction, now they are all but a handfull left. WHY? Save the kitties?... cant wait till they snatch some senator's kid off a tri-cycle, then you will see action. You want wolves? where do you want them, across the street. You do realize wolves eat dog's?
I live in Idaho with these parasites and have seen first hand the BRUTAL killing and uselessness of these animals. The only thing worse than a wolf is the left hand radicals who seem to need a cause and have chosen wolves, those who think having wolves is better than having elk, moose, deer etc. OH BOY, LET"S HAVE WOLVES no matter what the cost. Every time I see one of these videos it makes me want to shoot another wolf all that much more, thanks for keeping the fire alive.
There was another shark attack in Galveston, guess we should kill all the sharks. And I know bears have attacked 10x the people, must kill all the bears. It scares me that in this day and age we still have primitive minded people running around.
@Indigo656 The primitive minded people are you and the wolf lovers. If you wolf loving faggots wanted to restore wolves to the Rockies then why didn't you restore the native wolf? No, you fucking cocksuckers thought it better to transplant the Canadian grey wolf and now the citizens and wildlife of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are paying the price. Fuck you and every other wolf loving mother fucker!!
@ruj1970 I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a wolf lover. I'm just saying if I moved to Alaska I wouldn't expect someone to go kill all the bears for me. Deal with it, you got wolves. Quit acting like a little girl, get a gun or move. You are after all part of the most lethal species on the planet.
@Indigo656 Why don't you read up on the wolf situation here before you form some sort of misinformed opinion? We had native wolves here until the wolf loving cocksuckers transplanted the larger more aggressive Canadian grey wolf that is destroying our deer and elk herds. I do have a gun and I've killed more than a few wolves with it and will continue to kill every wolf I see get anywhere near my cattle.
@ruj1970 First off there is no such thing as a Canadian wolf, unless your reffering to a wolf that lives in Canada. Second the wolf population is less than 800 in Idaho as of 2010 which is down 16% from 2009. In fact despite concerns of wolf populations getting out of control their populations have stopped growing. I don't understand what you guys are gaining by trying to misinform people, but I think it's only working on your fellow Idahoans.
@Indigo656 Holy shit you are fucking dumb as hell!! There are many different sub species of wolf. The wolf that was transplanted here is Canis lupus occidentalis that is native to the Yukon and Northern Alberta. The native wolf of the Northern Rockies is Canis lupus irremotus. You clearly are the one who is misinformed or just plain fucking stupid!
It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
@Indigo656 Also the original recovery goal was 150 with 10 breeding pairs at which time the wolf management would be turned over to the states. That didn't happen as the wolf loving faggots filed lawsuits to keep them protected no matter what. They never had any intention of holding up their end of the deal. They are liars and thieves and they all deserve to go to prison for inflicting the worst wildlife disaster in 100 years!
@ruj1970 Wildlife disaster? LMAO we have brought the wolf population down by a third, and the gray wolfs are almost extinct in a lot of the original territories. News flash, we are the wildlife disaster. Also I think it's important for people here to know that the eastern wolves (what you guys are calling the Canadian wolf) are smaller than the original wolves from Idaho, and all these fake photos of giant wolves are not eastern wolves they are gray wolves, natives of Idaho.
@Indigo656 You are so misinformed it's rediculous. It's a non disputed fact that the wolves brought here were captured in northern Canada. They are much larger and very different than the native wolf. I have seen a few pics of wolves killed here that looked like they were photoshopped but 99% of them are real. Why don't you post up some proof to back up the rediculous claims you just made? Oh that's right, you can't because there is none.
@Indigo656 The wolf population down by a third? Grey wolves almost extinct in their original territories? LOL There are an estimated 30,000 grey wolves in Canada alone. So many that Canada has a year around open hunt on them. How is that near extinction? You need to stop reading fairy tales little man.
@Indigo656 Regaurdless, wolves and coyotes are far from disappearing. i'd be more against bear hunting. Hunters also intentionally put in regulations so that people don't over hunt them. The reason wolves get big is not only due to genetics, but also due to what they eat. If you ate deer for your life, then ate elk, you'd be full, happy, and by the time your 30 you'd be bigger than your cousins. want to say anymore hate comments? please reply so I can go trap shooting with your wild claims
@Indigo656 I must be contacting the same person here or something cause your all just as equally screwed up. We aren't talking about wolf attacks here, we are merely discussing the controlling of a population that was moved in from another area and now is threatening the ecosystem that has just recently been able to stabilize. You can't have too many predators, and you can't have too few. With human hunters there as well as wolves, there needs to be negotiations on both sides to solve this.
@jimmyamanita Yes they are, but at what cost? The death of thousands of deer and elk? the death of hundreds of wolves due to starvation and illness? I'm sorry, but that is unacceptable. Therefore if we can hunt them, those that die die quick and the ecosystem balances out over time. And the cost is much less. PETA wants us to sit back and watch other animal kill themselves no matter what the cost. We screwed up, we should fix it.
@jjw2795 No, but they will die if left to do as they please. Wolves, like humans, will eat ad eat and eat until there is nothing left. when the deer populations run out because they are being hunted to death by wolves, then they will starve
Wolves do not belong with humans period. I live in North Idaho where wolves are a threat. I have been listening to a lone wolf in my field at night for a while now. He sounds amazing at night. I did not like having him come in my yard and kill my puppy just a few feet away from me less than 6 feet from my door and 3 feet from dinning room window a little after noon today. I say hunt 'em. As far as I am concerned there were no wolves here when I got here. I was here first.
@1thebird1 Quit being pansy, there are animals on the planet who can hurt people if you don't take the proper precautions. Luckily your the most deadly predator on the planet and should be able survive this. And the wolves weren't there when you got there because we hunted their number out, that's why a different species had to be introduced into your area. So it was humans that screwed you both times. Is Idaho still so backwoods they still believe in werewolves?
@ruj1970 Well I don't have to worry about that considering there have been less than 25 fatal wolf attacks in the past 20 years and they are one of the least threatening animals that have their predatory capabilities to humans. Statistically I'm be more likely to be killed by one of you Idahoans. I don't know what psychotics the government is testing on you people in Idaho that have you believing in werewolves, but your paranoid behavior is pretty funny none the less. Lmao.
@Indigo656 I never said wolves were a big danger to humans. I've said that they are devastating our deer and elk herds. You don't read very good do you? Or are you just stupid and retarded like the rest of the wolfaboos?
@Indigo656 With your claims, you will be a statistic of your own claim. Come to Idaho and we will see who lasts longer, you in a bar or a wolf being hunted. Maybe some do stretch the truth, but this is nothing like what you're doing. What is wrong with controlling wolf populations? Nothing is wrong with it and it helps the environment. and Yes, the government screwed up this one by bringing in these monster wolves. its like the hog problem in the south.
Wolves were also created by God.....God loves wolves as much as He loves humans. All wolf killers will pay t price someday! Take care of them or leave them alone. Wolves belong in this planet as well as humans. LEARN TO SHARE!!
@chinacatthrak Yes, you should also learn to let people do the right thing by controlling these wolves. you can't let a species run free and uncontrolled when it is the wrong type of wolf for the area. They should have had a management/ breeding program for the existing wolves, then we wouldn't have this problem.
I say we round up all the wolves and turn them loose in Central Park. Wolves were native to New York state but they don't have any now. We need to reintroduce them there.
Throughout North America, elk populations have increased to sustainable levels from near extinction at the end of the 1900s.~ those are not my words..Point is wolves and other predators have coexisted perfectly until humans came along, if anyone needs blaming...it's us not the wolves or mountain lions or anything..the major threat to any enviorment and species is habitat loss..habitat loss is what humans created,if we were to litterally vanish from the earth..this would come back and balance out
@mustlovelove36 Well guess what jackass, humans are here and we are part of nature. If you want to help nature by getting rid of people why not start with yourself?
@ruj1970 I saw your comment on another vidio. I can't seem to find a site that suports wolves as sport-hunters and I need it for research. Mind helping a wolfaboo?
Elk antlers are also collected or stolen, then ground up and sold as traditional Asian medicines. Road building and logging decreases habitat for elk, and provides hunters easier access to elk. In 1904, the original name proposed for the Olympic National Park was "Elk National Park." The primary goal of the park was to rescue elk herds from near extinction. In the 1990s, a census therein estimated the park population at 5,000.~ also part of the article..
@AKArainkit thank you, and also to everyone else, While not listed as endangered, elk face many dangers. Their natural predators include cougars and gray wolves. Predators usually kill young and old elk. Disease, starvation and winter hardships also kill elk. An estimated 10 million elk lived in North America before the 1500s, but their population dwindled to less than 100,000 by 1907.Hunters targeted elk for trophy antlers, elk "ivory" and meat. ~ i found this from an updated 2012 arcticle..
@bellmountain123 Birds build structures out of twigs and dirt and poo, we build houses out of steal. We might be using natural resources, but do we need really need them? There is some point were natural need stops and pure greed takes over. Why else do we hunt the deer and put it's head on a wall. We don't NEED the meat, we have butcher shops now. Wolves won't be driving any thing to extinction. If you can counter me by providing me with a source than isn't bias that can tell me otherwise...
@AKArainkit Where do butcher shops get their meat? Oh wait they kill animals, you tell me what’s better, cramming cows into a fenced off area and filling them full of hormones trying to get them as large as possible, as fast as possible then slaughtering them, or eating elk that has eaten grass and has 0 growth hormones. Not to mention at least having a life other than being fenced in. why do you only care about some animals?
@AKArainkit Idk about you but most houses I’ve seen and built are made out of wood not steal. Do we really need natural resources? Well Idk about you but I need water and food to survive and the fact that I live in Idaho I need a shelter and clothing but if you know of a way to survive without using any natural resources please let me know I’m very interested to hear how you do that.
@AKArainkit Your anti-hunting, “we no longer need to hunt for food” that statement you made suggest your anti-hunting. I built homes when I was in high school and no they are not made out of plastic, where do you live? I’ve never had to worry about gangs in my great state of Idaho unless you want to call a pack of wolves a gang and yes my home keeps the wolves out.
@bellmountain123 You don't live were I live. Now, lets try this, wolves do need to be managed, I agree to that, but, what about the elk. As I hope you know, hunting is to keep populations under control. You now have a complete ecosystem. QED- they are being managed naturally. When you throw a yearly hunt into the mix, that spells disaster. We fucked up when we reintroduced the wolf. Hunting their main prey while not hunting them was a huge mistake. And thats why your elk are disapiring.
@AKArainkit Where do you live? The huge mistake was transplanting a non-native subspecies of wolf to Idaho. the Canadian gray wolf (canis lupus occidentallis) is much larger than the native rocky mt wolf (canis lupus irremotus) why did we put a non-native wolf into Idaho, that not restoring anything. hunters put more money into wildlife conservation then any other group of people
@bellmountain123 Ah, thank you for actually making sense by including the scientific name. I couldn't figure out which wolf the anti-wolfers were talking about. Thanks for the advice to, I think I finally understand surplus killing. Anyway, I believe during winter their fed hey and grains. Also, Idaho dose have gangs, but the absence of multiple big cites makes gang-gang clashes rare. I would tell you, but I just got rid of a stalker, and I'd prefer not to have another.
@bellmountain123 That's not what I meant by that. What I meant to say is that most of time people hunt for sport. I mean really, I've heard people say that hunters have a lot of skill to track and kill wild animals, but I have to ask, what skill? Anyone can wait for a wolf in a blind with bait and point and shoot a gun. Then theirs the fact that, wail it may be better than you, as you said, I must again point out that we no longer need to hunt for food or clothing.
@AKArainkit Once again idk what your saying… “Then theirs the fact that, wail it may be better than you, as you said” what are you trying to say? Just so you know there are more cow elk tags sold then bull elk tags, that means MOST people are hunting for food not sport. Your killing just as many animals indirectly as any hunter, what are your shoes made of? Why are you bias towards some animals? Love some and hate others what a shame.
@AKArainkit I already know you’re going to try and argue that humans did it, so before you start crying here are the FACTS on the number of hunters in that area. “The number of permits issued for the antlerless Gardiner Late Elk Hunt declined from 1,102 in 2005 to just 100 permits during the 2006-2010 seasons. The late season hunt was eliminated altogether for 2011” (Nash).
@AKArainkit “The annual aerial survey of the herd conducted during December 2010 resulted in a count of 4,635 elk, down 24 percent from the 6,070 reported the previous year. There has been about a 70 percent drop in the size of the northern elk herd from the 16,791 elk counted in 1995 and the start of wolf restoration to Yellowstone National Park” (Nash). you tell me if the wolves have had an impact.
@bellmountain123 One question, how do you know it was wolves? Maybe a disease, elk have other predators as well, and what says a few hunters didn't get trigger-happy before they left. No dought wolves are a contributing factor, but we're hunting them now, and, not to mention, a wolf pack will only successfully kill around 2 every 10 hunts.
@AKArainkit I’m sure there are several factors and yes wolves did bring disease to our elk herds so I’m sure they killed some elk indirectly E. Granulosus is a deadly disease carried by 63% of wolves. Do the math, 1 wolf needs between 20-25 elk per year to survive so if there are 2000 wolves that’s 40,000 elk per year. i know you don’t want to admit it but wolves are a problem and need to be managed.
@AKArainkit I would rather pay a few hundred dollars and spend my time in the great outdoors hunting for an elk that will feed my family for a long time then spend well over $1000 for a beef that was raised and processed under who knows what conditions. You anti hunters keep saying I should go buy meat at the store instead of hunt for it and that is the stupidest thing ever!
@ruj1970 I beleave that we should choose between hunting and butchery. We shouldn't have both. All the animals butchered are bred for such, and would just a quickly go extinct if we didn't.
Too late for other states? How so? Also, if we had enough wolves to preserve the species then why did they bring more of the wrong wolf? You're not making any sense. The "species" was flourishing in Canada so the "species" did not need preserving. Once again you make no sense.
@bellmountain123 Same goes for you. The animals we butcher are bred for such, and would just a quickly go extinct if we didn't. Take the darie cattle, who can't give birth without help from humans. Also, ever here of free-range farming? It taste a lot better actully.
@AKArainkit Your full of crap, yeah some ranchers have “free grazing” during the summer but where are those cow in the winter months? Oh wait they are back down on the farm and are fed by man-made crops, most beef you eat all comes from the same place anyway. What’s wrong with me wanting to be self-sufficient? Once again you aren’t making any sense. Where do you live?????????
people in those states want to feed their livestock on federal land for free, and they want to be able to eradicate the wolves and coyotes so as to make it less work for them to exploit the bounty of the land that is owned by ALL the citizens of the USA for their own personal financial livelihood. They lare like police organizations- in that they attempt to promote one image of what they are, which is in strong contrast to what they truly are(as inferred from their actions).
The wolf moon is upon us! Let us remember the 338 wolves that have died as part of their 'management', and hope that those who survive remain as elusive as their ancestors.
Cause of the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone about 10 years ago, beaver populations grew. This is because the wolves gave balance to the ecosystem by balancing the elk population, that was actually over capacity. More willow trees grew,therfore the population of beavers did. Scavengers that once relied on winter-killed elk for food now depend on wolf-killed elk. That benefits ravens, eagles, magpies, coyotes and bears. Wolves are a healthy part of an ecosystem,humans just dont see it.
@mustlovelove36 Damn anti-wolfers. Their ignorant enough to flag your comment even though it's one of the few things I've read here that dosen't sound like a load of BS. Oh well, thanks for the post.
Are people not getting the message here? DO NOT KILL THE WOLVES! If you don't want them, don't kill them...ship them to me. I'll train them to eat a few arseholes since the ignorant seem to think they attack people LMAO.
KILL ALL OF THEM THAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! Really nice job on this video as you have given me much hope for the future of the demise of the Grey Wolf in Idaho!
KILL THE WOLVES......At least in Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula they are a growing problem. Also do not say they are cute and like a little lap dog. If you let your lap dog get to close to a wolf the wolf will eat it like a tasty snack.
@MachoManifesto..Hunting and trapping legally and State regulated inconjunction with the sportsmen and conservationists. Notice I don't say environmentalists. They get nothing accomplished because everything is no. They are shit disturbers, just go around with a stick, stirring up a stink, and never accomplishing much of anything. A good 60 day hunting season with a limited number of tags. Good for the local economies and good for the wolves. Upper Peninsula is AWESOME!
Never could understand how anyone can hate wolves. Wolves are really just wild dogs and dogs are man's best friend, right? A wolf is just a big beautiful dog that has to fend for itself and does so to the best of its ability with the tools nature gave it for survival. They are highly intelligent and very interesting animals and the genetic foundation of all dogs. There are better ways to deal with their predation of livestock than to exterminate the species.
@JackKangaroo1...probably not more than 2 to 3 hundred thousand years between dogs and wolves. They have many similarities but are way different too. Most dogs we have now would starve in the woods and wolves don't do well as pets. In both cases there are too many things that each variety is not instinctually prepared for. I wish people would quit trying to change nature. It is really fine like it is. I can't understand why everyone doesn't want these great creatures around.
@42sundown Agreed....wolves, bears, tigers, lions, et al should be allowed to be and do what nature intended, and they weren't intended to become pets for humans. Even as a child I didn't like watching lions and tigers in the circus being made to look ridiculous jumping through hoops and such nonsense. I love just KNOWING that we still have wild wolves and bears roaming North America. If I get a glimpse of them, so much the better./ Perhaps someone can shoot Sarah Palin from a helicopter.
@JackKangaroo...Why..when I thought we could reasonably converse, did you have to come up with the Sara Palin line? This puts you into another category. Ignorance is a foregivable sin and can be fixed. Stupidity and especially stupidity mixed with political madness is impossible. I am glad for zoos, private ownership, and even the circus. This, believe it or not, is an addition to the gene pool. With a much smaller population at the time, the lion Christian, was....see#2
@42sundown....I believe, a great benefit to the lions he was placed with. Not only was it s story to cause mass orgasm among the goodies, but scientifically was good for the species. Who knows when disaster might make every representitave of every species, very important, see...black footed ferret, condor, and now possibly the Tasmanian Wolf. Be a little more thoughtful and don't just knee-jerk at everything, check out Chicago, Al Gore, Carbon credits, Obama, futures,Enron,
@42sundown In terms of preserving ecological systems the random breedings and cross-breedings of captive animals like lions and tigers seldom preserve the purity of a species gene pool. Zoos do provide some level of preservation of species. Private ownership and the circus do not. They are primarily forms of animal exploitation, although I'll admit that Christian the Lion made a great story. As for my Sarah Palin comment. It was a joke, get it? Apparently you don't have a sense of humor.
@JackKangaroo....As long as the animals are well cared for, I have no problem with "animal exploitation". Everyone and everything is exploited to one extent or another. Exploitation, private ownership denouncement, shoot Sarah Palin jokes, I really don't think I have read you wrong. All my life I have been a fervent conservationalist, but the idea that man cannot use animals, including wild animals, to his advantage, is pure bunk to me. Wild animals do not know ....see #2
@42sundown..#2...they are wild. They spend most of their short, mostly stress-
filled lives just pursuing food, water, shelter, and safety. For humans to be willing to furnish this for them, as long as abuse is not included, is fine with me. Hunting, fishing, trapping, farming of animals is fine with me, same reservations. I have seen a lot more accomplished by the non-politically-correct crowd, than the "environmentalists". Too many times, it's about power, not about animals.
@MrFrostyBoy1 ... When the political idiots and the so-call environmentialists, and communists, get out of the wolf business and leave hunters and real conservationists to handle the situation, the wolf will continue to come back. Hunters control local populations keeping the anti-wolf peoples arguments to a mimimum. You need to grow up and save your hate for the people that are trying to destroy your freedom and the free country that is free to save all wild animals for you.
@42sundown I would trust hunters... If they acted like "true conservationists." Most of the wolf-hunters I've talked to failed to keep anti-wolf arguments to a minumum, showed complete ignorance towards facts of the animal and showed severe immaturity in a debate, making names like "wolfaboo" and rants "KILL THE WOLVES! KILL THEM ALL!" I'm not saying I hate all hunters, but I wish they had a different attitude towards the lives they are destroying. How can I trust someone like that with nature?!
@TwighlightsDesire ...When I say hunter, I mean sportsman and conservationist. Anyone obviously silly or ignorant on either side of this program are not going to help the situation. Everyone knows what it takes to solve problem of this nature and way too many people are talking through their ass, because their head would surely know better. It is the intention of some, I'm sure, to just cause trouble and raise the rhetoric to keep them out. A good set of laws........see 2
@42sundown...2...covering wolf tags with the contribution to a Farm/Ranch livestock fund to cover losses for farmers, ranchers, and landowners will go a long way toward settling the argument for the good of all. The wolf is a magnificient animal which should bring in tourists as well as hunters, thereby contributing to the local economies i,e; motels, resturants, gas stations, grocery stores etc., thereby killing the "worthless wolf" problem.
@42sundown I see where your getting at, but a lot of "sportsman" out there ARE the anti-wolf extremists, planning to shoot 75 wolves from an airplane is not exactly saving anything. This "a good wolf is a dead wolf" stuff is getting old. When you say "Wolves bring in hunters." That scares me, it seems like the only good a wolf is to anyone anymore is being hunted for money. But wolves are worth so much more to the environment alive than dead, some of these sportsmen don't get that.
@TwighlightsDesire...From the name you are using, and what you are saying the "sportsmen" are doing, I get the feeling that you are very passionate (nothing wrong with that) and these guys like to rile you up and watch you dance. I would bet money that if you are talking to real hunters and sportsmen, they are just pulling your chain, and you react. Relax darlin' teasing will erase off too. Quiet dignity is what I use, (sometimes after blind rage and extreme violence) .
@42sundown Please don't get the idea I'm into Twilight movies, I hate it, I've used this name for a looong time! I know they get me riled up, but only because some of the stuff they say is true, like when they say they kill wolves for fun and it's allowed. I hate that the government left nature's creatures in the hands of people like these hunters to "control the big bad wolf problem." I would trust professionally paid hunters instead of average-joe hunters to control the situation MODERATELY.
@TwighlightsDesire...Stop! Take a breath, and think. Who is really going to expend the resources to kill 75 wolves from an airplane. That makes about as much sense as getting a "professionally paid" hunters to kill wolves. Serious game management, with laws to control poachers, call-em what they are, will answer to this question, and again a stake in the wolves as an asset to the community will stop the bullshit. Settle down and get some realistic jargon going. You candoit

you may want to do some research into the the reintroduction of wolves into Idaho/Wyoming/Montana. The original species was a grey wolf. The reintroduced species, although many call it a grey wolf, is better known as a timber wolf. It is larger and more aggressive. This was not the original wolf in these areas and is cause a lot of problems since its reintroduction. So before going against people who live in the area of non-native wolves... do your research.

The Canadian Grey Wolf is not native of Idaho, and is seriously disrupting the ecosystem. Parts of the state, there are no longer any moose where they used to thrive. The elk population is beginning to be decimated as well. Basically, those who are educated beyond their own intelligence tend to take on matters and express biased opinions they have not researched. If you do not like the facts, and concerns that are prevalent within the wolf problem in Idaho, I suggest you move. You are a twit!

i recall when wolves were reintroduced to Idaho. these wolves are three times larger than the original native timber wolves. that has a very disturbing effect on the natural ecosystem. it also has a very negative impact on cattle ranching. the reason the people of the entire northwest almost exterminated the wolf. is very simply that it is not conducive with people and there goals.

Thinning the population is good. It doesn't help an ecosystem when man brings in the wrong wolves! Personally, It may have been better for everyone (including the wolves) if we had just used programs to support what was left of the LOCAL wolf population. And no, don't tell me that those wolves are extinct, there has got to be some wolves between Idaho and Northern Canada that aren't the big killers like we have brought in. Unfortunately, now these transplanted wolves have to be hunted down.

By the way, wolves follow the game the excuse that the Elk have found new migration paths around Wolf habitat is BS.

@ruj1970 First off there is no such thing as a Canadian wolf, unless your reffering to a wolf that lives in Canada.

In fact despite concerns of wolf populations getting out of control their populations have stopped growing. I don't understand what you guys are gaining by trying to misinform people, but I think it's only working on your fellow Idahoans.

Elk antlers are also collected or stolen, then ground up and sold as traditional Asian medicines. Road building and logging decreases habitat for elk, and provides hunters easier access to elk. In 1904, the original name proposed for the Olympic National Park was "Elk National Park." The primary goal of the park was to rescue elk herds from near extinction. In the 1990s, a census therein estimated the park population at 5,000.~ also part of the article..
mustlovelove36 1 month ago
@AKArainkit thank you, and also to everyone else, While not listed as endangered, elk face many dangers. Their natural predators include cougars and gray wolves. Predators usually kill young and old elk. Disease, starvation and winter hardships also kill elk. An estimated 10 million elk lived in North America before the 1500s, but their population dwindled to less than 100,000 by 1907.Hunters targeted elk for trophy antlers, elk "ivory" and meat. ~ i found this from an updated 2012 arcticle..

@bellmountain123 Birds build structures out of twigs and dirt and poo, we build houses out of steal. We might be using natural resources, but do we need really need them? There is some point were natural need stops and pure greed takes over. Why else do we hunt the deer and put it's head on a wall. We don't NEED the meat, we have butcher shops now. Wolves won't be driving any thing to extinction. If you can counter me by providing me with a source than isn't bias that can tell me otherwise...

@AKArainkit Where do butcher shops get their meat? Oh wait they kill animals, you tell me what’s better, cramming cows into a fenced off area and filling them full of hormones trying to get them as large as possible, as fast as possible then slaughtering them, or eating elk that has eaten grass and has 0 growth hormones. Not to mention at least having a life other than being fenced in. why do you only care about some animals?

@AKArainkit Idk about you but most houses I’ve seen and built are made out of wood not steal. Do we really need natural resources? Well Idk about you but I need water and food to survive and the fact that I live in Idaho I need a shelter and clothing but if you know of a way to survive without using any natural resources please let me know I’m very interested to hear how you do that.

I’ve never had to worry about gangs in my great state of Idaho unless you want to call a pack of wolves a gang and yes my home keeps the wolves out.

@bellmountain123 You don't live were I live. Now, lets try this, wolves do need to be managed, I agree to that, but, what about the elk. As I hope you know, hunting is to keep populations under control. You now have a complete ecosystem. QED- they are being managed naturally. When you throw a yearly hunt into the mix, that spells disaster. We fucked up when we reintroduced the wolf. Hunting their main prey while not hunting them was a huge mistake. And thats why your elk are disapiring.

@AKArainkit Where do you live? The huge mistake was transplanting a non-native subspecies of wolf to Idaho. the Canadian gray wolf (canis lupus occidentallis) is much larger than the native rocky mt wolf (canis lupus irremotus) why did we put a non-native wolf into Idaho, that not restoring anything. hunters put more money into wildlife conservation then any other group of people

@bellmountain123 Ah, thank you for actually making sense by including the scientific name. I couldn't figure out which wolf the anti-wolfers were talking about. Thanks for the advice to, I think I finally understand surplus killing. Anyway, I believe during winter their fed hey and grains. Also, Idaho dose have gangs, but the absence of multiple big cites makes gang-gang clashes rare. I would tell you, but I just got rid of a stalker, and I'd prefer not to have another.

Anyone can wait for a wolf in a blind with bait and point and shoot a gun. Then theirs the fact that, wail it may be better than you, as you said, I must again point out that we no longer need to hunt for food or clothing.

@AKArainkit Once again idk what your saying… “Then theirs the fact that, wail it may be better than you, as you said” what are you trying to say? Just so you know there are more cow elk tags sold then bull elk tags, that means MOST people are hunting for food not sport. Your killing just as many animals indirectly as any hunter, what are your shoes made of? Why are you bias towards some animals? Love some and hate others what a shame.

@AKArainkit I already know you’re going to try and argue that humans did it, so before you start crying here are the FACTS on the number of hunters in that area. “The number of permits issued for the antlerless Gardiner Late Elk Hunt declined from 1,102 in 2005 to just 100 permits during the 2006-2010 seasons. The late season hunt was eliminated altogether for 2011” (Nash).

@AKArainkit “The annual aerial survey of the herd conducted during December 2010 resulted in a count of 4,635 elk, down 24 percent from the 6,070 reported the previous year. There has been about a 70 percent drop in the size of the northern elk herd from the 16,791 elk counted in 1995 and the start of wolf restoration to Yellowstone National Park” (Nash). you tell me if the wolves have had an impact.

@bellmountain123 One question, how do you know it was wolves? Maybe a disease, elk have other predators as well, and what says a few hunters didn't get trigger-happy before they left. No dought wolves are a contributing factor, but we're hunting them now, and, not to mention, a wolf pack will only successfully kill around 2 every 10 hunts.
AKArainkit 1 month ago
@AKArainkit I’m sure there are several factors and yes wolves did bring disease to our elk herds so I’m sure they killed some elk indirectly E. Granulosus is a deadly disease carried by 63% of wolves. Do the math, 1 wolf needs between 20-25 elk per year to survive so if there are 2000 wolves that’s 40,000 elk per year. i know you don’t want to admit it but wolves are a problem and need to be managed.

@AKArainkit I would rather pay a few hundred dollars and spend my time in the great outdoors hunting for an elk that will feed my family for a long time then spend well over $1000 for a beef that was raised and processed under who knows what conditions. You anti hunters keep saying I should go buy meat at the store instead of hunt for it and that is the stupidest thing ever!

Once again you aren’t making any sense. Where do you live?????????
bellmountain123 1 month ago
people in those states want to feed their livestock on federal land for free, and they want to be able to eradicate the wolves and coyotes so as to make it less work for them to exploit the bounty of the land that is owned by ALL the citizens of the USA for their own personal financial livelihood. They lare like police organizations- in that they attempt to promote one image of what they are, which is in strong contrast to what they truly are(as inferred from their actions).

Cause of the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone about 10 years ago, beaver populations grew. This is because the wolves gave balance to the ecosystem by balancing the elk population, that was actually over capacity. More willow trees grew,therfore the population of beavers did. Scavengers that once relied on winter-killed elk for food now depend on wolf-killed elk. That benefits ravens, eagles, magpies, coyotes and bears. Wolves are a healthy part of an ecosystem,humans just dont see it.

@MachoManifesto..Hunting and trapping legally and State regulated inconjunction with the sportsmen and conservationists. Notice I don't say environmentalists. They get nothing accomplished because everything is no. They are shit disturbers, just go around with a stick, stirring up a stink, and never accomplishing much of anything. A good 60 day hunting season with a limited number of tags. Good for the local economies and good for the wolves. Upper Peninsula is AWESOME!

Never could understand how anyone can hate wolves. Wolves are really just wild dogs and dogs are man's best friend, right? A wolf is just a big beautiful dog that has to fend for itself and does so to the best of its ability with the tools nature gave it for survival. They are highly intelligent and very interesting animals and the genetic foundation of all dogs. There are better ways to deal with their predation of livestock than to exterminate the species.

@JackKangaroo1...probably not more than 2 to 3 hundred thousand years between dogs and wolves. They have many similarities but are way different too. Most dogs we have now would starve in the woods and wolves don't do well as pets. In both cases there are too many things that each variety is not instinctually prepared for. I wish people would quit trying to change nature. It is really fine like it is. I can't understand why everyone doesn't want these great creatures around.
42sundown 2 months ago
@42sundown Agreed....wolves, bears, tigers, lions, et al should be allowed to be and do what nature intended, and they weren't intended to become pets for humans. Even as a child I didn't like watching lions and tigers in the circus being made to look ridiculous jumping through hoops and such nonsense. I love just KNOWING that we still have wild wolves and bears roaming North America. If I get a glimpse of them, so much the better./ Perhaps someone can shoot Sarah Palin from a helicopter.

@42sundown In terms of preserving ecological systems the random breedings and cross-breedings of captive animals like lions and tigers seldom preserve the purity of a species gene pool. Zoos do provide some level of preservation of species. Private ownership and the circus do not. They are primarily forms of animal exploitation, although I'll admit that Christian the Lion made a great story. As for my Sarah Palin comment. It was a joke, get it? Apparently you don't have a sense of humor.

Hunting, fishing, trapping, farming of animals is fine with me, same reservations. I have seen a lot more accomplished by the non-politically-correct crowd, than the "environmentalists".
