[QUOTE="dgarrett, post: 774302, member: 58686"] Harpec hit the nail on the head. Gun Hunting has little to NO effect on Wolf Populations. 10/80 was the only way that Wolves were controlled and eventually removed from the landscape. One of the arguements used to bring the wolf back was to control the Bison populations in Yellowstone. As we can see from the News just this week that was total BS just like all the rest of the lies they used. The Wolves just like any wild predator will always chose the less dangerous game to prey on. In many areas entire local populations of Elk are extinct now. If I was in a State where Wolves were just getting started I would fight to have the Legislature keep the Feds from any reintroduction measures. Requiring a 50 year Environmental Impact Study is required to cut firewood but its OK to turn loose a wolf. With many Western States again the Feds right now over gun control. Its a good time to have States fight the Feds over the Endangered Species Act. States supposably own the Wildlife within its borders. There is lots of info on what Wolves have done to our game populations. Our State was complicit with the Feds on Wolf Reintroduction to receive just a few extra jobs and study money.
