Here is a short read that I got from CP&W tonight concerning wolves here in Colorado.
The tree huggers hit a home run with this one, hunters are going to fund the destruction of their sport. I have been dealing with wolves all fall, I have 7 in one single trail camera picture. Have been finding deer carcasses regularly. I pray that somehow this doesn't ruin Colorado's hunting industry.I have to admit, when this topic was first discussed a few years ago, I was leaning a bit toward it. Wolves were always natural residents here and righting the wrong of their eradication appealed to the conservationist in me.
But this whole plan is a hot mess. It's hard to say what the worst part is, but tapping CPW funds to achieve it is right up there - that's an unfair burden to the group of people (hunters, the bulk of CPW's funding) most likely to OPPOSE it, and it's doubly bad that livestock restitution is paid out the same way. And it seems to me that everything we do to "help" Mother Nature over the years goes wrong in some way.
IT will but if your over 50 odds are you won't notice a huge hit in your lifetime. i merely base that on idaho. it's been 30 years and while there has been a lot of elk decimated by the lil puppies hunters who can adapt to the changes in the elks behaviors can still be pretty successful. hate to think what it's gonna be like another thirty years from now but THANKFULLY I will be dead.The tree huggers hit a home run with this one, hunters are going to fund the destruction of their sport.

Oh they understand, they want to replace us with wolves.What the tree huggers don't understand. We the hunters replaced the wolf. There is no need for them now, but it looks we will foot the bill. I am sure they will just increase non resident fees to cover the cost.
