I'm not big into hunting myself, but hunting animals has been around since mankind has been around. It seems pointless to ban something that has been crucial to the establishment of our species.

Well there is no sense in letting yourself be confused by reason or morality.

But why not shoot pitbulls? They kill more people every year in america than wolves do.

Ahhh America, the only place in the world where people go hunting on a full stomach.

@UGLYSTIKCOLIN Oh I guarantee there's more than that. IF&G has been lying about their numbers for a long time. Smoke a pack a day.

@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.

Actually, the wolves are the cause. This fella is one of THOUSANDS of people who have shot wolves. Keep up the shooting!

@UGLYSTIKCOLIN

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.
