Why would you want to kill a Wolf?  

May someone hunt your ass down for
the same pleasures you have for wolves.

No, I haven't read the  NRA article, you speak of...  Just another ignorant author?
There are no written records of any healthy, wild wolves ever killing humans. They have been persecuted world wide to almost extinction on Human Ignorance.  Even as kids we are brainwashed to believe that the big bad wolf will kill us through stories and nursery rhymes. Wolves kill the weak and sick of herds, thus allowing the herds to flourish with less spread of disease.  Wolves
are not vermin and shouldn't be treated as the likes.  Killing a Wolf is purely sport  and categorized  with the same people who kill cats and dogs.

I have no problem with regulated hunting of wolves, nor do I have a problem with directed predator control.  I do have a problem with all-out extermination as happened with the wolf in this country.  Thankfully, that is being rectified as we speak.

That mount looks well done.

Get real Realist. You have no idea what you are talking about. Seriously.

Gaspain, that is a nice looking mount. I used to be a professional taxidermist years ago. Taxi means to move, dermist means skin, most basic definition I can give, & used it to explain the job to folks who had no idea what it meant. I would love to shoot some wolves, & it's still a game animal in Alaska.[:D] I don't know where else it still is.  Don't concern yourself with the opinions of fish kissing tree hugger types, as they are full of bull stuff, & generally just stink things up. If you want a lion mount you can check with any semi large taxidermy shop. Sometimes they have hides they have purchased to mount, or a source to get one for you. I have a friend in WI who hunts them in Co, & I've eaten lion before. UMMMM! I also shot a big male right between the eyes with a .22 rifle years ago. That was fun. Anyway I also found a store in Keystone S.D. that had lion,grizzly,wolverine,wolf,& other tanned hides for sale. You could look for the store on line, & see what they have. Look up the town, it's right where Rushmore is, & it's the only store in town that is open all year. Hope this helps.
Oh yea, I remember seeing the tree huggers talking about how it had been more than 40 years since a Kodiak bear had killed a human, while reading Larry Kanuits book bear attack, where he quoted articles from the Alaskan papers detailing about 20 bear killings in those same 40 years on Kodiak.[rolleyes]

I think they should not be reintroducing wolves out west. You ask any rancher that busted his hump to make a living what he thinks about it. We exterminated wolves, & grizzlies for the purpose of eliminating the competition. The only reason most people want wolves reintroduced is because somewhere in their silly heads it makes the happy to be able to tell someone a thousand miles away that they are in control of their lives, & not the people who live there. Most folks will never see a wolf, boohoo for them. Not seeing a wolf will never cost me dime, but it will cost the American rancher money, as they are forced by the Federal government that they must allow a species to live on their land, that their ancestors fought to get rid of. I would kill a wolf out west then give the hide to a rancher ,& make a friend for life, if I had the opportunity. period.

Wolves won't put any ranchers out of business.  They may have to wait a month longer before they can buy a new pickup, but hey, they can stop ranching public land anytime they like, it's a free country.

So then I'm guessing if I let a pit bull onto your private property, & say it killed your animals, then that's just to darn bad, huh?

Oh I forgot to ask, do you consider all land as belonging to the government as all you have to do is stop paying the taxes, & they step in a reposes it? The ranchers I knew weren't exactly rolling in dough. They were hard working honest folks busting their butts to make a life for themselves. So don't just assume their all Jed Clampits, with millions in the bank, & a new set of wheels every month , because they have a by your leave from the government property renters.

The pitbull analogy doesn't wash as that is a domesticated animal and is supposed to be under your control.

VERY few ranchers in the areas where wolf introductions have taken place own the land they ranch, AND there are very aggressive control measures taken when wolves prey on livestock.  In addition, ranchers are reimbursed for their losses from a private fund.  I don't see what they have to complain about.

Reactionary has a point. Ranchers ARE re-imbursed for any wolf kill of their property. Wolves have been reintroduced in Eastern Arizona, and many have been killed by dumbass rednecks who simply hate wolves, for whatever reason.

You are right, wolves don't limit themselves to only sick and weak, although they will take them if available.  The thought that the phantom "comunists" are behind wolf introduction is laughable.  Some people value wildlife and natural systems, some don't, it's that simple.

I'm a hunter, and I think it would be great to have yet one more huntable species out there to pursue.  And if you think about it, the great (and expensive) hunting destinations, i.e. Alaska and Africa, have large intact predator populations.  Well regulated wolf populations will not harm other wildlife.

Actually, I know the facts very well.  I have worked hand in hand with ranchers on a variety of endangered species issues and I know their point of view.  I am a proponent of  ranching on public an private land.  I also know that the hysteria around this issue is just that, hysteria.  If ranching interests saved the money and energy they are now putting into lobbying against wolves, they would have more than enough to pay for any of their losses.

Also, this is not an animal rights issue, it's a conservation issue, big difference.

And therein lies the problem. The greenies wanting to reintroduce/protect the wolves don't want a "regulated wolf population." They want they to be left "to nature." Where they over populate and devistate the population of game animals. To "regulate wolf populations" means to thin them out, or hunt them, when their populations get too large for a given area.

The "greenies" don't have control.  If you read the wolf recovery plan, the objectives are very conservative, 20 established wolf packs in 3 areas.  When that has been acomplished (and it has) the wolves are to be (and have been) relegated to threatened status in those areas, that allows more effective control on populations, especially where livestock interests are concerned.

I don't have any problem with ranchers defending their herds from marauding wolves.   I just don't favor extermination.

Where the hell do you guys live?!
From reading this post it seems everyone here is knee deep in wolves!
As far as I know The only wolves around are in yellowstone and along the upper edge of the US especially around the great lakes.

I really dont see a need for wolf hunting do you? Unless your in an area where there is an actual population. There have been a few wolves killed by people/ranchers who thought they were coyotes.
Yes they are rembrersed for thier losses.
There are very few wolves in most of this country. They are needed in my opinon to keep the exploding amount of coyotes in check. When they introduced wolves back into yellowstone it brought down the # of cyotes back to a managable level it also killed quite a few elk.

Yes most ranchers are dirt poor. Most have thier places by the tip of thier fingers and colud be forclosed on if they didnt pay thier massive loans. That is because Of a Shitty cattle market not because thier are suddenly wolves everywhere. And Im damn sure if the animals are targeting someones animals they will be shot right or wrong you just wont hear about it. Ive seen hawks and bald egles shot for coming after chickens. If you want do do somthing good for nature go shoot a coyote and stop bitching about wolves.

I live in Idaho and we have had a large introduction of Canadian Timber Wolves, over 40 pairs have been planted over the past 8 years and the numbers have grown to over 400 known wolves. Around here farmers go by the "shoot,shovel and shutup" method. Any problem wolves are killed by Conservation Officers. I have seen 1 wolf and have heard several more.

Am I scared of them?? No. Should I be?? Maybe. Elk hunting here is not what it used to be, the heards are thinned down and you do not see as many yearling elk. On a 30 mile backpacking trip through Idaho's largest designated wilderness we found an average of 3 elk or deer carcauses that had been killed by wolves for every mile of the trail. They ARE decimating our wildlife populations. There have been rumors by the Idaho Fish and Game that a permit system for wolves may be opened in 2005. Wyoming did a small permit hunt for wolves this year.

I welcome the wolves, it save me from having to go to alaska to hunt one :)
