[QUOTE="Edge Guy, post: 602781, member: 33683"] I have wasted a lot of my time reading a lot of this thread and I will say that I have had quite a few laughs. I am not going to say that I entirely disagree with Swamprat as a few guys have dubbed him here. I would have no problem with a bunch of 70 lb. timber wolves hunting in packs of 2 or 3 here in North Idaho. I think the part of the argument that was missed was the fact that he was defending the introduction (not reintroduction) of a foreign species that is a superior predator that our ecosystem is not capable of handling. So to maybe cut the guy some slack maybe he meant the Timber wolves were cool and he wants to wipe out all of the grey wolves because they are not native to the lower 48 and were mistakenly introduced by treehuggers. It's no different than the small mouth bass issues we had on a local lake here that were supposed to bring in big tourist dollars with fishing tournaments and guide services. Oops, they ate all the Kokanee and took bag limits from 50 a day to 3 a day in a matter of 5 yrs. Who did the fish and game blame for the low numbers....over fishing! never mind that until a few years ago the bag limit had been 50-100 since regulation have been enforced. What about the Japanese beetles, bark beetles, etc. They introduce species with the guise of helping the ecosystem and then point the finger at everyone else when the species doesn't die following the first frost. That's my two cents, kill all the grey wolves and leave the native species (the timber wolf) alone!
