The 3 S's needs to be expanded, DO NOT TAKE A SELFIE WITH THE DEAD WOLF! Yes we all carry cameras on our smartphones but they don't have to document everything you do. You will show "trusted" friends the pic of you and the wolf and they may be less trustworthy than you thought and then sooner or later the federal squirrel cops come knocking on your door and lend you the use of some silver bracelets.Guy broke the third rule in "SSS".
The longterm goals of the left is multi-fold. Decimation of prey will lower hunter numbers. Lower hunter numbers probably mean a lot fewer people will become familiar with guns at a young age. Fewer guns = easier to pass gun control. All of this leads to more control over the people.They do not give a darn about the existing natural resources in terms of the numbers of the deer and elk herd.
Much of this wolf/coyote introduction is funded by the insurance companies. Less claims from animal collisions equals more profit, this is no BS.
The belief is the predator brings herd population stability. Sure does, they wipe them out thus stable. I wish these idiots would watch how a pack takes down an animal and eats it alive.As a long time predator hunter, not living in Wolf infested states, I have wondered why wolf hunting, calling, has not become more of a "Sport"?
I am sure that there are some very accomplished wolf hunter/callers out there, but you never hear anything on techniques, etc that are used.
I have talked to some of the people that fund reintroduction of wolves, it is hard to believe their mind set. They also would never believe the decline of the deer and elk herds that wolves cause...never....
I didn't even know that there was a "lower peninsula" until reading this thread. But if you have several shovels and know what to do with them, you're on the right track. I am allowed to shoot them on sight where I live. Yea that was just a little braggin".Seems like a lot of you guys say you're from one location but know a lot about mine ! Looks like I should be studying up on other states ! They would have to migrate through my area first . Let me just say that I have several shovels and a bucket on the tractor !
