I hunt all kinds of animals and i hate wolves kill them all in my opinion and nobody will take away my hunting rights i hunt for the right reasons and i know whats right and wrong!! Hunt it fish it well it really doesnt matter ill be there count on it cuz im the hunting and fishing fool so u keep ur head up nice kill good lookin wolf i hope i get one soon too!
hello they need to be managed do u want them jumping the backyard fence and killing your dog or worse your kid just look at what coyotes do only multiply it by 5 then wake up look up coyotes kill house cat dog etc we already have major problems with them in cities do u really want wolves if so let me know ill help u by catching one and throwing him over the fence into your yard you deal with it
sorry but i'll kill what ever i paid for and i dont give a damn what peta says otherwise as far as im concerned they can kiss my ass and suck on the end of my 30-30 barrel for all i care :\
These anti hunters are sick people. I laugh at them. Hide behind your computer, vermin. We'll stick to the woods and take care of business where it's needed.
For all of you that are low enough to send hate comments to this man, let me tell you that this man did something remarkable and something that only a few hunters would ever dream of doing. Wolves for many years have been killed and it wasn't until about 40 years ago that HUNTERS decided to end the slaughter. Now that wolves are back and have expanded to their limit, it is once again time to control them. Hunting is the cheapest, easiest way to do this. Go hunting, and long live the NRA!!!!!
Robert dont listen to these people its obvious that these people have mental problems. Congradulations on the wolf I personally think its awesome and dont get yourself down because theres alot more people like us than like these idiots. Me and you pay money to hunt which pays for conservation ground and conservationist to enforce game laws these people just sit and run there mouths. Eat a big steak tonight and be proud of yourself.
@lionking4iscomingIV All life is sacred and worthy of respect, but it is not equal. Why is it that deer and elk are killed by wolves? If they were equal, then the deer and wolves would be peaceful. Though humans have evolved from foragers to hunters, does that mean that a wolf is above me or at least equal? I would say that wolves are equal to me, because my ancestors killed just as many wolves as wolves killed my ancestors. the killing continues because all wildlife is NOT created equal
@lionking4iscomingIV What I am trying to say is that all Apex predators, i.e. humans wolves sharks and cougars among others, are equal. And most prey are also equal, but there is a difference between a deer and a human in that the human is a predator and a deer is prey. Its the same way with other predators if you look closely. To suggest that all life IS equal is to deny the existence of the food chain. Though killing for fun is bad, killing for control is in fact nature at work.
@lionking4iscomingIV Yeah, but it is hunting none the less, so why can't I go hunting, but a wolf can. We will both eat the meat, both will use the carcass, and being shot is more humane than being run down by a pack of wolves, so I don't see what is wrong here with hunting.
@lionking4iscomingIV Yes, and my point is that, if I don't go vegan, I have to choose between a deer, and a cow. I don't particularly like the slaughter houses because I have seen what some of them do to cows. And that is why I choose venison over beef. As for the killing of wolves, they are the wrong subspecies that we have transplanted and are ruining every herd in the the area of Idaho, Montana and Colorado. The native wolves were smaller, ate less, and didn't cause as much damage...
@lionking4iscomingIV If we had done it right, then we wouldn't be killing wolves. I don't like the idea of regular hunting seasons on predators that I view equal to man, but I know when things need to be done for control and that is why I support this hunter and wolf hunting. PETA has got this blown out of proportion, and are wrong for two reasons.
1. Spay and neuter works when humans have control of the population and it works in small areas. But With wolves, we can't regulate their lives..
@lionking4iscomingIV It doesn't help that we all get along (somewhat). Though no one likes war, including me, it has controlled our population growth. it wasn't until after WWII that The world population skyrocketed. Similarly, Wolves in Idaho stand virtually unopposed, and something has to kill them. Fortunately, Hunting is the most humane considering the "natural way". Disease, starvation, and injury all kill, but hunting does it faster, and cleaner. Plus it can be controlled.
@lionking4iscomingIV And there is no way we can neuter enough wolves to bring the population down. Plus, I think that most people don't have the balls to castrate a live wolf. If you do, kudos then. Also, hunting them is far, far, far cheaper than spay and neuter or any other solution. With the way this country is going, the Feds will need to watch every penny spent, and I am sure that they will choose to allow hunting wolves over spaying and neutering them. This is a human problem...
@lionking4iscomingIV And PETA believes that we should just let, "nature take its course." That's easy for them to say, because they don't regulate the deer, elk, wolf populations. Hunting just the right number of wolves will solve this problem faster and easier than letting the populations swing up and down for a decade before finally stabilizing. If you have noticed, deer populations might be up too high for many places, but they are relatively stable thanks to hunting and nature...
@lionking4iscomingIV PETA also kills thousands of animals in their shelter(s) each year, so they are no strangers to letting scores of animals die for their cause. My point is that this slaughter will end when hunters have finished the job and have stabilized the populations of wild animals. Hunters traditionally have been good at doing just that, fixing humanities mistakes. Though animals die, this management by hunting is better than anything else. Hard questions require long comments.
@lionking4iscomingIV Good. Well, at least then I cannot hate you. But I have made my point. And whether or not you believe them, hunting by control has been proven through many years to be superior over anything else except natural predators. And that is why hunters reintroduced wolves, because we couldn't keep up with demand ourselves. Do not see my comments as a personal attack, but I won't withdraw them because they provide the truth instead of myths that some believe are the truth.
I still say that calling over the phone to harass a man is lower than anything in this world. these people who are calling him obviously are too cowardly to actually tell him that he did something wrong. kudos to the man who kicked off wolf season, I stand by him till the end.
Hey, I love the wolves, I really do, but aslong as they are hunted with in the limits and involve quick deaths, I have no problem with the season. The only time I start getting a little angry is when hunters start using helicopters. :P Let's keep it low tech and traditional.
@jimmyamanita No, what is immoral is introducing a non native predator to eradicate our wildlife. You suffer from some sort of mental illness that prevents you from seeing reason. I will continue to shoot every worthless vermin wolf that gets into rifle range. You can bet your ass on it!!
My friends where floating a river in AK, watched a cow moose run across sandbar into brush, then a big bull gave chase,.. then here came 7 wolves sneaking along bank, all but one went in after the moose. Big brawl insued, growling, yelping, thrashing... one wolf came hauling ass outa there,...2 wolves left. Friends went to see carnage..... 5 dead "moose eaters". Got the living shit beat outa them, Im sorry they didnt get that bull's address or phone number so you moron's could harass him.
People should have the power of consciousness, higher thinking and moral decision making. But many of these wolf kill supporters seem to have more in common with a moose.
@jimmyamanita You take that back! Then again, the moose is probably smarter than you anyway, so I guess it might have truth. You think a moose is against the killing of wolves? I highly doubt that moose are crying over their predators being killed. These wolves aren't even from the area, we screwed up and are fixing it. Eventually, the ban on wolf hunting will fall again, and you can stop screaming about it.
@jimmyamanita If you can't understand a hunter's perspective, then you can't understand hunting in general, and need to let it be. I personally don't want a regular season on these animals, but I do know that hunting is a tried and true method of regulating a species that humans brought in. These wolves aren't native to Idaho, therefore the ecosystem isn't built for them. That means that everything from ranchers to elk are suffering from our stupidity, hunters merely are cleaning up the mess.
Well because there is not a valid reason to hunt them. They are not a food source for humans. I believe, as my father and all of his ancestors, that we hunt to eat.
Also the wolf is a symbol of the wild and of America and should be respected.
The wolf hunts were recently allowed in Idaho due to a poor legal/political decision and many of us feel that wolves should remained on the endangered species list. That would allow for the prosecution of the people that kill them.
There is reason to hunt them, they're overpopulated, and people do eat wolves. Wolf meat is edible it is a food source for some people.. Simply because an animal is a symbol of the wild doesn't mean you can't hunt it. The deer is seen to be graceful and majestic that doesn't stop people from hunting. Wolves shouldn't be on the ESL because they're not endangered. I understand the wolf is a popular fav animal, but that doesn't mean we should keep it on the ESL. .
In most cultures, no member of the canine genus is seen as viable food.
There are several reasons, but one important reason that not only canines, but most predators in general, are considered taboo as food is that they frequently carry life threatening diseases brucella, trichina worms, listerosis, foot and mouth disease and anthrax.
So the consumption of wolf flesh is rare in human history.
@jimmyamanita When did I ever say it was the Idaho hunters? Though some wolf hunters in America might eat wolves. I was actually referring to the Mongolians, they hunt and eat wolves it is a part of their survival, and there are more cultures that eat canines than you think. Arctic and Antarctic,Canada,China mainland,India,New Zealand,Taiwan,East Timor,Native Americans,Indonesia,Vietnam,Nigeria,North Korea,South Korea. Canine meat was eaten in Ancient Mexico, eating dog meat isn't all that rare.
@jimmyamanita We wouldn't be hunting them i the feds got the right wolves. The ones they transplanted breed like rabbits, and weigh about 50lbs more. What does that have to do with anything? If a wolf is bigger, it eats more, if they breed more pups (this is an adaption due to their colder, harsher northern climate) that survive, then a population crisis ensues. we should have helped what wolves were there instead of searching elsewhere. Hunters are merely cleaning up the mess, not making it.
@jimmyamanita Northern climate wolves have a lower reproductive rate, but in an easier climate, that can go from 3 pups to 12 pups. In northern climates, fewer wolves survive, but in Idaho, where it is warmer compared to Northern Canada, more of these wolves survive say 6 out of 10. In contrast, the Timber wolf, or any sup species of Timber wolf in Idaho only produces 4-5 pups, and 2-3 live. Hence, a population crisis is almost there, or is there already. No species can go past...
@jimmyamanita ...the carrying capacity, especially a predator without disastrous effects on the environment. What hunting does is it slows the population growth rate or stops it from rising further. Then we can figure out further steps to bring the wolf populations to a safe level that is healthy for the environment, humans, and wolves. Like I said, if we had helped the right sup-species, none of this would be happening. Complain to your government about the federal decisions, not to hunters.
@jimmyamanita We can kill wolves because the population is too high. They prey on deer, elk, moose, sheep, any livestock around, they will eat. The elk and deer numbers have steadily declined since the 1995 "reintroduction". Reintroduction as a term is a scam. The Canadian Grey wolves were NEVER native to the lower 48.
Prior to to the turn of the last century, the wolf population in Idaho was much higher and the ungulate population were quite healthy.
Perhaps I am oblivious, but rather than label me, could you enlighten me with the evidence upon which you base your assertion. Any study by a game biologist will be fine. Or any other valid scientific evidence that you are familiar with.
I am open to learn or to change my position in the face of evidence. Thanks for helping me.
@jimmyamanita In 1995, after releasing 15 Canadian Grey Wolves into Idaho, it was agreed that when this population had reached 100 wolves or 15< packs, the Wolves would become a property of the state of Idaho, and that F&G would assume management responsibilities. This goal of 15 packs was reached in 2000, yet the Feds never turned over the keys until 2009, where an *estimated* 850 Wolves roamed Idaho.
It’s not surprising that people see wolves as a nuisance. Shit, humans view each other that way. Why else would we start World Wars that kill people by the millions and where, in a so-called civilized society, we attempt to exterminate an entire race of people that are considered undesirable by some. Wolves and other animals kill to eat and survive but people, like this guy, kill for a Kodak moment, a wall ornament, and for, how did he put it?.......Oh yeah, PRIDE!! Can't survive without these
@equisxx12 We kill wolves in Idaho to protect deer, elk and livestock from overpredation from the fucking wolves that you wolf loving cocksuckers brought here so go fuck yourself! He has pride for saving elk that would have senselessly died and left to rott thanks to these useless predators.
@ruj1970 And this may be a stupid question, but over-predation implies that the deer population is going down while the wolf population is going up. So why would wolves, kill their prey and then leave the carcass behind to rot when they, clearly, have more mouths to feed?
@equisxx12 it's because one, the deer was killed then the wolves were scared off. or the wolves killed it and are tracking down the rest of the pack to eat it. Or when they left, they couldn't find it again. I just hope that poor man doesn't take this thing too hard, because some people just don't get it. If your open to listening, I can enlighten you about his crisis that his going down right now.
@jjw2795 You are a complete fool. You're trying to say that wolves do not sport kill? Then why did wolves kill 120 sheep in Dillon Montana in one incident? This is not an isolated incident either. There have been hundreds of sport kills found on deer and elk and many other incidents of livestock killed and left uneaten. You stupid fucking wolf lovers don't have a clue to reality. All you know are fairy tales.
@ruj1970 You must be replying to the wrong person because, I'M ON YOUR SIDE DUMBASS. However, I am not as extreme as you are so my comments sometimes seem to go the wrong direction of where I am taking them. Of course wolves sport kill, I know that as well as you do. If you took some time to read my other comments, maybe you'd get a better understanding of who your yelling to.
@ruj1970 yeh they sport kill. However I was impyling hat there are other reasons you may find an unattended carcass, all of them are also true. if anything that gives us hunters more information about wolves.
@ruj1970 Wow!!! You sound about as charming as some of the people that called this guy. It’s upsetting to you to watch and hear the offensive comments made to your hunter friend, but you seem to have no problem doing the same thing to others, right?? This might not matter to you but just so you know, I don’t agree with the harassment calls and e-mails your friend received. But that is not something that either one of us can control.
@ruj1970 And you’re right about me not being an expert on wolf behavior, but I have read about it in the papers, I do have the internet, and the information there favors the wolves. And since I am not from Idaho, I will have to rely on this video. If their hunting behavior is so gruesome, how can so many people, living in Idaho, not perceive this and instead defend that predator. So my conclusion is that, for the most part, wolf sport hunting is just speculation.
@ruj1970 Rocks in a box?? Doesn’t seem like something practical. And even though, according to you, I am that useless, I was still able to read it correctly the first time; I should go f-myself. But you seem to like to write it, as much as wolves and humans enjoy sport hunting, so go ahead.
@equisxx12 What is this "sport hunting" you speak of? I have never met a hunter that has killed just to see something die. if you think that ALL hunters sport kill, you better rethink your tactics here, because you're backing yourself into a corner. I've got proof, you have your opinions and things off of the P.E.T.A website, which is more fake than Micheal Jackson's face post 2000'
these people are called "wolfaboos" and those people who are harassing him, they call them self brave, compassionate, kind, loving. a fighter for the mute innocent.
Or maybe you would rather have taxes increased so that you can neuter and spay wolves as well as transplant them into YOUR backyard. your wife would be pleased with YOU to hear you funded a project that lands predators near by. If you don't want to see wolves killed though, please by all means take the wolves from us. I'm putting up a sign, "Wolves, free to good home" perhaps you want to stop by and pick up a couple?
The only reason some of you don't care about sheep and livestock is that you don't have money tied up in it. If you could understand how a rancher feels about being in the red each year because he can't legally protect his herd from wolves, then you would understand. so 7mikethebike, you really know a lot about animals as I see from your comments. Mind explaining to everyone here how to effectively manage a wolf pack at a low cost? I would be happy to listen as well as other hunters.
I stand by that poor man. I will be a hunter for life and will fight until I get the respect that every hunter deserves. as for wolves, they are climbing in population and need to be regulated in some way. we can't keep transplanting them, otherwise the problem gets worse. So go ahead and email me if you want by replying, but I will shoot down any argument against hunting because if you believe PETA, your wrong, period!
Shut the hell up. You don't know crap. He don't deserve that i think that was an awsome kill. People who think hunting is bad and like PETA are a bunch of Faggots.
@bigwytex Bitch, did I fucking say u could reply to that? No, I didn't. I don't give a shit about you're opinions. So keep them to yourself. I don't think hunting is bad either.
@TaraInDaHood Calm down all of you. First, this was 2 years ago, and is in the past now. as for the 2012 wolf hunt, Hunters are saying that wolves, bears, and mountain lions are the cause of certain elk herds being nearly wiped out. Also, FYI, when an elk herd gets nearly wiped out, people stop hunting them, so the only thing that is killing these herds are predators. So hunting wolves is needed until other plans of action can be put in place. This is from the Montana FWP.
all you idiots making a big deal about this should be ashamed since the release of the wolves in the 90s in yellowstone the elk population has droped dramaticly so go ahead you idiots let the wolves kill all the elk, deer, and buffalo then all the wolves would die because there would be nothing for them to eat then what happens so learn your ecology dumb asses.
@telemarker93 yes I do understand ecology actually. And what you obviously don't understand, is the Timber Wolves are not native to the Yellowstone area. They were introduced, not REintroduced mind you, to Yellowstone National Park in 1992. YOU need to study YOUR ecology.
jimmyamanita: mabye people would understand you and listen to you if you weren't a smart ass. I didn't say that the human species would fail...I'm saying the Timber wolves are a nuisance and need to be removed from the Yellowstone area's ecosystem
jimmyamanita: ya. If you knew what trouble those damn wolves were causing, you'd know why. You have to live in Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming where I live, and hunt as much as us here to know what those Timber Wolves are doing. They have a place in this world...back in Canada and Alaska
Nah, I'm a hunter. My people were hunting bear and moose and deer in this country when your people were meeting your death of the plague and being used as cheap labor by the monarchs.
In all of known history, my people have no known instance of human sacrifice. That is a horrible and uneducated comment.
Of course wolves target sheep, they are easy prey. But that is no justification to murder one of the most social, most intelligent and most beautiful of predators.
I do not say that my people are or were superior. I was only letting warhammer know that I am a hunter and believe in the tradition of hunting.
@jimmyamanita using an extremist (allegedly) organisation to dismiss all calls for humane respect for animal life is a prevarication worthy of dr goebbels.
@jimmyamanita your words show a insight to your intelligence. Europeans are the most advanced human species ever to walk the earth. Indians did not even get past bow and arrow technology. Their medicine was half herbal, half religion. they were good hunters, because if they weren't, they didn't eat very well. Good fighters, to some extent, because of a combination of their stupidity and their long experience fighting each other. I wouldn't be too proud.
@7mikethebike How dare you! Indians killed animals, but they also worshiped the earth for what it is. I am white, but I am around native Americans never-the-less. Also, if you're so smart about this hunting business, then give me a good, cheap, viable way to keep the number of wolves down in Idaho. If alI we have to do is kill, say 5-6% of the population to help regulate it, then that is better than watching a population collapse due to starvation, over-poplulation, and lack of land.
You are a man of education and insight, although not very aware of history.
Maybe technologically advanced, but not morally or culturally.
The Iroquois confederacy had a constitution before Europeans even considered the idea.
Cahokia was a city that traded goods for thousands of miles and had a population of a half million people when the europeans had not yet invented sewers.
Not to say europeans are stupid. But before you make racist comments, at least understand the truth.
Hunting is a Sport some people Like it some people don't seriously folks I am not a fan of hunting myself but i would never go around telling a hunter you can't hunt its not right. My Uncle is a hunter has every single Fur from Deer to Gray Fox to Coyote and use make Venacine ( I spelled it Wrong ) and it tasted great Wolves also Depleate the Live Stock for Farmers and some of these Hunters are paid to take care of them.
@idahoboy07 Ok, you want exact numbers? Well, the numbers very, but the average are 105 head of cattle loss to wolves per year. That is actually very small spread throughout all the farms and ranches in the US.
Most of the harassers are women, I get the same crap and its mostly from women not trying to be rude but it's true. I am a girl, I love animals, studying to be a wild life biologist, I hunt, I have owned a wolf hybrid I paid 3,000 for him he has passed, I love sitting on my ass playing videogames/watching anime for a week straight, I am very active I love to go hiking, camping, fishing, backpacking. He killed the first wolf he should be proud of himself not threatened by post menopausal women.
@suzukirm1256065 You have your info all wrong. Try this- cense 2000 only 15 people have been attacked (not killed) by wolves worldwide. Only 3 of those were killed. Your family's dog, on the other hand, kills 15 people every year in the US alone. And, as for livestock, the wolf only kills 0.05% of the nation's cattle. You do the math; the wolf is not a threat.
@AKArainkit .05% of all cattle in the US is a whole lots of cows. They just present the numbers like that to make them look small. If you figure in that most cows arent in areas with wolves, or are anywhere wolves could get to, wolves kill alot of cows. Why not present numbers of how many cows are killed per wolf. That would be much less deceptive.
Man these wolf people make me laugh. Animals have been killing since the dawn of time. Wolves will kill anything they can get their paws on. Cats, dogs, sheep, humans it all food to them.
WOLVES ARE BABY KILLERS!!! 34% of the elk and 50% of bison they KILL are under a year old. They even kill their own.
yellowstonenationalpark. - LOOK IT UP
Composition of Wolf Kills: kills made by wolves in 2002, including 291 elk, 21 bison, 4 wolves. The composition of elk kills was 34% calves (0–12 months), 31% cows, 22% bulls, Bison kills included 10 calves, 3 yearlings and 8 adults. wolves on the Northern Range killed an average of 1.8 elk per wolf per 30-day study period.
Wolves kill for fun, and they kill livestock for fun. It's not us hunters that are killing all the elk and moose, it's the wolves over killing them. We hunters can't...that's why we have licenses. We keep them under control...
Wolf season is here I don't know if I'm going to participate , if a animal was going to hurt a person I cud shoot it and yea it wud be cool shot a wild moving target legally but it's the death the dead can't go Hm to it's family thers a bear same area killed 2ppl already and also a tiger in same area ..
Wolves wouldn't kill farm animals if their habitats weren't being destroyed. But oh no, mankind is simply too greedy to share the planet. Just keep raping and pillaging the Earth. Soon there won't be anything left for man either! It's NOT okay to keep taking and to not give back!
sierracuban: you must not know turkey spat about hunting. We hunt for food. Some animals we shoot for sport, but not all of us. Prairie Dogs are fun to shoot, but we have reasons for that. They make a mess of rancher's and farmer's fields. And even some people's yards. There is a reason for hunting just about any animal.
SOME ENVIRONMENTALISTS MAY BE KOOKS, but these hunters are full of shit also......Only human beings KILL for sport.......These hunters teach their children to just shoot animals for the hell of it......Most hunters are good people, but they have this bloody shoot to kill mentality......ARROGANCE AND WANTONNESS.......
@sierracuban oh shut up! get off of your freakin high horse! talk about arrogance! how dare you generalize an entire group like that.
"Only human beings kill for sport" Yeah I'm guessing you haven't seen first hand what wolves are doing to both live stock and wild herds, well I have! Killing them and then leaving the carcasses in the sun to rot... hardly eating anything. Don't act like you know what you're talking about when it is quite obvious that you don't. As for me, I've got my wolf tag!
@ImmaculateSludge You hit it right on the head. I work at a ranch and these guys will never come close to understanding either part of this issue. I think its kind of odd that the people with the experience and having to live in close quarters with them, you know, walking with their kids and family at twilight, letting their dogs roam in wolf country,hate them, but the people that do not live with them, love them. Imagine if we put 20 or 30 murderers at the front doors of their workplace...
@ImmaculateSludge and whether or not they could make money and provide for their family depended on their clients ability to get by these murderers into their place of business. Seems like it wouldn't fly to me...Kinda sucks when pregnant cows get harassed and abort or miscarry their calves, or even the calves themselves get slaughtered. Sheep are the biggest sufferers of un-controlled wolf populations, I have seen mountain lions and wolves kill 20+ sheep in a night. Guess what, no feeding
@sierracuban You should have been there when my dad was teaching me how to hunt, ethically. I honestly believe he considerers "shooting animals for the hell of it," one of the worst crimes a human can commit. You see, we live in a place of natural beauty, and can't imagine doing anything to jeopardize it. That must be the ARROGANCE you are talking about. We have harvested animals for generations and put ORGANIC food on our tables the right way. That must be the WANTONNESS you are talking about.
@sierracuban I have lived in Idaho and Montana for 25 years and have never heard someone that lives in the outdoors talk about hunters or even human beings in general, the way you "do gooders" do. I can tell you have no idea what I'm talking about when I tell you how amazing it is to physically strain yourself, try to outsmart millions of years of evolutionary survival instincts, and use human-made technology, to kill your own food. I hope you never do also, it should be only for pure of heart.
@hillbillydlux13 they just dont understand... i hunt and thats exactlly how i feel when you try and outsmart something thats smarter than you and you take them on there own ground that they know about way better than us, great feeling!
Wow, don't you sound hypocritical. Deer are just as beautiful as wolves.
And what separates wolves from deer? What makes wolves so special that they can't be hunted? Wolves are not a special God animal that does not deserve to be hunted. So tell me, what makes deer O.K. to hunt but not wolves?
Also wolves are not as smart as a 12 year old. Can you show me where you got that "fact". Dolphins have been proven to be some of the smartest animals, as smart as a two year old.
horseA123: what the fuck do you know about wolves? Where exactly do you live? Do you hunt? No. Keep your fuckin mouth shut! This guy did good. Timber wolves should be moved out of the lower 48. They are not native to the Rocky Mountains
@CynicalSerenade All of this over one hunted wolf. If someone doesn't support wolf hunting I understand that, but calling some guy and swearing at him and sending him death threats, all because he shot a wolf, is totally screwed up. It's not like he shot a dog or a wolf pup.
Everyone of you people who don't understand hunting need to shut your mouths. Wolves are classified as nuisance animals, they kill farm animals, pets, and in extreme cases, people. People have no business calling this guy and telling him how horrible he is just because he shot one wolf. I bet if your dog or farm animals or child got killed by a wolf you wouldn't be saying anything
@suzukirm1256065 your absolutely motherfucking wacked out of your mind hillbilly!!..NUISANCE ANIMALS!!..WE'RE THE FUCKING NUISANCE..god made every creature to work in harmony with one another..these wolves are apex predators just like sharks are in the ocean and play a highly important role to keep things in balance! how many fucking animals do WE mindlessly butcher for fun and laughs..and you bitch about occassional attacks from THEM??..friggin nuts man!.
HUMAN BEINGS are nuisance animals. And Suzukirm ... please dress up as a wolf ... and run around ... hopefully you'll be shot like the nuisance animal YOU are !
I hunt all kinds of animals and i hate wolves kill them all in my opinion and nobody will take away my hunting rights i hunt for the right reasons and i know whats right and wrong!! Hunt it fish it well it really doesnt matter ill be there count on it cuz im the hunting and fishing fool so u keep ur head up nice kill good lookin wolf i hope i get one soon too!

For all of you that are low enough to send hate comments to this man, let me tell you that this man did something remarkable and something that only a few hunters would ever dream of doing. Wolves for many years have been killed and it wasn't until about 40 years ago that HUNTERS decided to end the slaughter. Now that wolves are back and have expanded to their limit, it is once again time to control them. Hunting is the cheapest, easiest way to do this. Go hunting, and long live the NRA!!!!!

lionking4iscomingIV 3 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV All life is sacred and worthy of respect, but it is not equal. Why is it that deer and elk are killed by wolves? If they were equal, then the deer and wolves would be peaceful. Though humans have evolved from foragers to hunters, does that mean that a wolf is above me or at least equal? I would say that wolves are equal to me, because my ancestors killed just as many wolves as wolves killed my ancestors. the killing continues because all wildlife is NOT created equal
jjw2795 3 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV What I am trying to say is that all Apex predators, i.e. humans wolves sharks and cougars among others, are equal. And most prey are also equal, but there is a difference between a deer and a human in that the human is a predator and a deer is prey. Its the same way with other predators if you look closely. To suggest that all life IS equal is to deny the existence of the food chain. Though killing for fun is bad, killing for control is in fact nature at work.
jjw2795 3 weeks ago
@jjw2795 big difference between "basic survival hunting" and "population control hunting"
lionking4iscomingIV 3 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV Yeah, but it is hunting none the less, so why can't I go hunting, but a wolf can. We will both eat the meat, both will use the carcass, and being shot is more humane than being run down by a pack of wolves, so I don't see what is wrong here with hunting.
jjw2795 3 weeks ago
@jjw2795 wolves kill for survival not "population control" like humans who I might add caused the over population of deer I see today
lionking4iscomingIV 3 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV Yes, and my point is that, if I don't go vegan, I have to choose between a deer, and a cow. I don't particularly like the slaughter houses because I have seen what some of them do to cows. And that is why I choose venison over beef. As for the killing of wolves, they are the wrong subspecies that we have transplanted and are ruining every herd in the the area of Idaho, Montana and Colorado. The native wolves were smaller, ate less, and didn't cause as much damage...
jjw2795 2 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV If we had done it right, then we wouldn't be killing wolves. I don't like the idea of regular hunting seasons on predators that I view equal to man, but I know when things need to be done for control and that is why I support this hunter and wolf hunting. PETA has got this blown out of proportion, and are wrong for two reasons.
1. Spay and neuter works when humans have control of the population and it works in small areas. But With wolves, we can't regulate their lives..
jjw2795 2 weeks ago
@jjw2795 killing them to "keep their numbers low" is regulating their lives

@lionking4iscomingIV Yeah, but they can't regulate themselves very well can they!

@jjw2795 neither can humans with a population of 7 billion
lionking4iscomingIV 2 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV It doesn't help that we all get along (somewhat). Though no one likes war, including me, it has controlled our population growth. it wasn't until after WWII that The world population skyrocketed. Similarly, Wolves in Idaho stand virtually unopposed, and something has to kill them. Fortunately, Hunting is the most humane considering the "natural way". Disease, starvation, and injury all kill, but hunting does it faster, and cleaner. Plus it can be controlled.
jjw2795 2 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV And there is no way we can neuter enough wolves to bring the population down. Plus, I think that most people don't have the balls to castrate a live wolf. If you do, kudos then. Also, hunting them is far, far, far cheaper than spay and neuter or any other solution. With the way this country is going, the Feds will need to watch every penny spent, and I am sure that they will choose to allow hunting wolves over spaying and neutering them. This is a human problem...
jjw2795 2 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV And PETA believes that we should just let, "nature take its course." That's easy for them to say, because they don't regulate the deer, elk, wolf populations. Hunting just the right number of wolves will solve this problem faster and easier than letting the populations swing up and down for a decade before finally stabilizing. If you have noticed, deer populations might be up too high for many places, but they are relatively stable thanks to hunting and nature...
jjw2795 2 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV PETA also kills thousands of animals in their shelter(s) each year, so they are no strangers to letting scores of animals die for their cause. My point is that this slaughter will end when hunters have finished the job and have stabilized the populations of wild animals. Hunters traditionally have been good at doing just that, fixing humanities mistakes. Though animals die, this management by hunting is better than anything else. Hard questions require long comments.

@jjw2795 dude seriously I'm against PETA just another celebrity plastered group
lionking4iscomingIV 2 weeks ago
@lionking4iscomingIV Good. Well, at least then I cannot hate you. But I have made my point. And whether or not you believe them, hunting by control has been proven through many years to be superior over anything else except natural predators. And that is why hunters reintroduced wolves, because we couldn't keep up with demand ourselves. Do not see my comments as a personal attack, but I won't withdraw them because they provide the truth instead of myths that some believe are the truth.

@jimmyamanita If you can't understand a hunter's perspective, then you can't understand hunting in general, and need to let it be. I personally don't want a regular season on these animals, but I do know that hunting is a tried and true method of regulating a species that humans brought in. These wolves aren't native to Idaho, therefore the ecosystem isn't built for them. That means that everything from ranchers to elk are suffering from our stupidity, hunters merely are cleaning up the mess.

IgottaCookieRawrz 2 weeks ago
@IgottaCookieRawrz Hi
Well because there is not a valid reason to hunt them. They are not a food source for humans. I believe, as my father and all of his ancestors, that we hunt to eat.
Also the wolf is a symbol of the wild and of America and should be respected.
The wolf hunts were recently allowed in Idaho due to a poor legal/political decision and many of us feel that wolves should remained on the endangered species list. That would allow for the prosecution of the people that kill them.
jimmyamanita 2 weeks ago
There is reason to hunt them, they're overpopulated, and people do eat wolves. Wolf meat is edible it is a food source for some people.. Simply because an animal is a symbol of the wild doesn't mean you can't hunt it. The deer is seen to be graceful and majestic that doesn't stop people from hunting. Wolves shouldn't be on the ESL because they're not endangered. I understand the wolf is a popular fav animal, but that doesn't mean we should keep it on the ESL. .
IgottaCookieRawrz 1 week ago
@IgottaCookieRawrz
So the Idaho hunters are eating the wolves.
In most cultures, no member of the canine genus is seen as viable food.
There are several reasons, but one important reason that not only canines, but most predators in general, are considered taboo as food is that they frequently carry life threatening diseases brucella, trichina worms, listerosis, foot and mouth disease and anthrax.
So the consumption of wolf flesh is rare in human history.
jimmyamanita 1 week ago
@jimmyamanita When did I ever say it was the Idaho hunters? Though some wolf hunters in America might eat wolves. I was actually referring to the Mongolians, they hunt and eat wolves it is a part of their survival, and there are more cultures that eat canines than you think. Arctic and Antarctic,Canada,China mainland,India,New Zealand,Taiwan,East Timor,Native Americans,Indonesia,Vietnam,Nigeria,North Korea,South Korea. Canine meat was eaten in Ancient Mexico, eating dog meat isn't all that rare.
IgottaCookieRawrz 1 week ago
@jimmyamanita We wouldn't be hunting them i the feds got the right wolves. The ones they transplanted breed like rabbits, and weigh about 50lbs more. What does that have to do with anything? If a wolf is bigger, it eats more, if they breed more pups (this is an adaption due to their colder, harsher northern climate) that survive, then a population crisis ensues. we should have helped what wolves were there instead of searching elsewhere. Hunters are merely cleaning up the mess, not making it.
jjw2795 1 week ago
@jjw2795
You state that they "breed like rabbits."
What is their rate of reproduction?
And is there a population crisis?
That would mean that the species has exceeded the carrying capacity of the environment.
jimmyamanita 1 week ago
@jimmyamanita Northern climate wolves have a lower reproductive rate, but in an easier climate, that can go from 3 pups to 12 pups. In northern climates, fewer wolves survive, but in Idaho, where it is warmer compared to Northern Canada, more of these wolves survive say 6 out of 10. In contrast, the Timber wolf, or any sup species of Timber wolf in Idaho only produces 4-5 pups, and 2-3 live. Hence, a population crisis is almost there, or is there already. No species can go past...
jjw2795 1 week ago
@jimmyamanita ...the carrying capacity, especially a predator without disastrous effects on the environment. What hunting does is it slows the population growth rate or stops it from rising further. Then we can figure out further steps to bring the wolf populations to a safe level that is healthy for the environment, humans, and wolves. Like I said, if we had helped the right sup-species, none of this would be happening. Complain to your government about the federal decisions, not to hunters.
jjw2795 1 week ago
@jimmyamanita We can kill wolves because the population is too high. They prey on deer, elk, moose, sheep, any livestock around, they will eat. The elk and deer numbers have steadily declined since the 1995 "reintroduction". Reintroduction as a term is a scam. The Canadian Grey wolves were NEVER native to the lower 48.

@jimmyamanita In 1995, after releasing 15 Canadian Grey Wolves into Idaho, it was agreed that when this population had reached 100 wolves or 15< packs, the Wolves would become a property of the state of Idaho, and that F&G would assume management responsibilities. This goal of 15 packs was reached in 2000, yet the Feds never turned over the keys until 2009, where an *estimated* 850 Wolves roamed Idaho.

ruj1970 1 month ago
@ruj1970 And this may be a stupid question, but over-predation implies that the deer population is going down while the wolf population is going up. So why would wolves, kill their prey and then leave the carcass behind to rot when they, clearly, have more mouths to feed?

Also, FYI, when an elk herd gets nearly wiped out, people stop hunting them, so the only thing that is killing these herds are predators. So hunting wolves is needed until other plans of action can be put in place. This is from the Montana FWP.

Not to say europeans are stupid. But before you make racist comments, at least understand the truth.

Hunting is a Sport some people Like it some people don't seriously folks I am not a fan of hunting myself but i would never go around telling a hunter you can't hunt its not right. My Uncle is a hunter has every single Fur from Deer to Gray Fox to Coyote and use make Venacine ( I spelled it Wrong ) and it tasted great Wolves also Depleate the Live Stock for Farmers and some of these Hunters are paid to take care of them.

@idahoboy07 Ok, you want exact numbers? Well, the numbers very, but the average are 105 head of cattle loss to wolves per year. That is actually very small spread throughout all the farms and ranches in the US.

Most of the harassers are women, I get the same crap and its mostly from women not trying to be rude but it's true. I am a girl, I love animals, studying to be a wild life biologist, I hunt, I have owned a wolf hybrid I paid 3,000 for him he has passed, I love sitting on my ass playing videogames/watching anime for a week straight, I am very active I love to go hiking, camping, fishing, backpacking. He killed the first wolf he should be proud of himself not threatened by post menopausal women.

@suzukirm1256065 You have your info all wrong. Try this- cense 2000 only 15 people have been attacked (not killed) by wolves worldwide. Only 3 of those were killed. Your family's dog, on the other hand, kills 15 people every year in the US alone. And, as for livestock, the wolf only kills 0.05% of the nation's cattle. You do the math; the wolf is not a threat.
AKArainkit 4 months ago
@AKArainkit .05% of all cattle in the US is a whole lots of cows. They just present the numbers like that to make them look small. If you figure in that most cows arent in areas with wolves, or are anywhere wolves could get to, wolves kill alot of cows. Why not present numbers of how many cows are killed per wolf. That would be much less deceptive.

WOLVES ARE BABY KILLERS!!! 34% of the elk and 50% of bison they KILL are under a year old. They even kill their own.
yellowstonenationalpark. - LOOK IT UP
Composition of Wolf Kills: kills made by wolves in 2002, including 291 elk, 21 bison, 4 wolves. The composition of elk kills was 34% calves (0–12 months), 31% cows, 22% bulls, Bison kills included 10 calves, 3 yearlings and 8 adults. wolves on the Northern Range killed an average of 1.8 elk per wolf per 30-day study period.

Wolves kill for fun, and they kill livestock for fun. It's not us hunters that are killing all the elk and moose, it's the wolves over killing them. We hunters can't...that's why we have licenses. We keep them under control...

Wolves wouldn't kill farm animals if their habitats weren't being destroyed. But oh no, mankind is simply too greedy to share the planet. Just keep raping and pillaging the Earth. Soon there won't be anything left for man either! It's NOT okay to keep taking and to not give back!

sierracuban: you must not know turkey spat about hunting. We hunt for food. Some animals we shoot for sport, but not all of us. Prairie Dogs are fun to shoot, but we have reasons for that. They make a mess of rancher's and farmer's fields. And even some people's yards. There is a reason for hunting just about any animal.

SOME ENVIRONMENTALISTS MAY BE KOOKS, but these hunters are full of shit also......Only human beings KILL for sport.......These hunters teach their children to just shoot animals for the hell of it......Most hunters are good people, but they have this bloody shoot to kill mentality......ARROGANCE AND WANTONNESS.......

@sierracuban oh shut up! get off of your freakin high horse! talk about arrogance! how dare you generalize an entire group like that.
"Only human beings kill for sport" Yeah I'm guessing you haven't seen first hand what wolves are doing to both live stock and wild herds, well I have! Killing them and then leaving the carcasses in the sun to rot... hardly eating anything. Don't act like you know what you're talking about when it is quite obvious that you don't. As for me, I've got my wolf tag!
ImmaculateSludge 5 months ago in playlist Hunting
@ImmaculateSludge You hit it right on the head. I work at a ranch and these guys will never come close to understanding either part of this issue. I think its kind of odd that the people with the experience and having to live in close quarters with them, you know, walking with their kids and family at twilight, letting their dogs roam in wolf country,hate them, but the people that do not live with them, love them. Imagine if we put 20 or 30 murderers at the front doors of their workplace...
hillbillydlux13 4 months ago
@ImmaculateSludge and whether or not they could make money and provide for their family depended on their clients ability to get by these murderers into their place of business. Seems like it wouldn't fly to me...Kinda sucks when pregnant cows get harassed and abort or miscarry their calves, or even the calves themselves get slaughtered. Sheep are the biggest sufferers of un-controlled wolf populations, I have seen mountain lions and wolves kill 20+ sheep in a night. Guess what, no feeding
hillbillydlux13 4 months ago
@sierracuban You should have been there when my dad was teaching me how to hunt, ethically. I honestly believe he considerers "shooting animals for the hell of it," one of the worst crimes a human can commit. You see, we live in a place of natural beauty, and can't imagine doing anything to jeopardize it. That must be the ARROGANCE you are talking about. We have harvested animals for generations and put ORGANIC food on our tables the right way. That must be the WANTONNESS you are talking about.

@sierracuban I have lived in Idaho and Montana for 25 years and have never heard someone that lives in the outdoors talk about hunters or even human beings in general, the way you "do gooders" do. I can tell you have no idea what I'm talking about when I tell you how amazing it is to physically strain yourself, try to outsmart millions of years of evolutionary survival instincts, and use human-made technology, to kill your own food. I hope you never do also, it should be only for pure of heart.

Wow, don't you sound hypocritical. Deer are just as beautiful as wolves.
And what separates wolves from deer? What makes wolves so special that they can't be hunted? Wolves are not a special God animal that does not deserve to be hunted. So tell me, what makes deer O.K. to hunt but not wolves?
Also wolves are not as smart as a 12 year old. Can you show me where you got that "fact". Dolphins have been proven to be some of the smartest animals, as smart as a two year old.

@CynicalSerenade All of this over one hunted wolf. If someone doesn't support wolf hunting I understand that, but calling some guy and swearing at him and sending him death threats, all because he shot a wolf, is totally screwed up. It's not like he shot a dog or a wolf pup.

We could easily use part of the defense budget to pay for the small percentage of wildlife conservation that hunting pays for.
It would take less than the cost of 1 apache helicopter to cover the amount of money that hunting contributes.

Everyone of you people who don't understand hunting need to shut your mouths. Wolves are classified as nuisance animals, they kill farm animals, pets, and in extreme cases, people. People have no business calling this guy and telling him how horrible he is just because he shot one wolf. I bet if your dog or farm animals or child got killed by a wolf you wouldn't be saying anything
