I can’t believe these judges. When are they ever going to use common sense in these decisions.

Lord have mercy.
Honestly, this has gotten to the point of insanity with liberal judges making decisions based on emotions and I hope people just kill the Wolves anyhow.
Grey wolves wouldn't survive a deer season in GA. Send them all down here and see what happens.

The upper great lakes region should just tell their CPOs not to enforce the law. Seems to work for cannabis.

The Humane Society and the other groups that filed suit, looked for a Judge and area that they knew they would get the result they got. Judge in California ruling on wolves in the Great Lakes....give me a break!

IMHO this is why Wisconsin rushed their hunt last year. Michigan has sat on their butts and started a “Wolf Advisory Council “. Common sense will never come into to play with wolves in the Midwest because it doesn’t exist. The vast majority of the people wanting to protect the wolves live in places that will never be impacted by them.

This is a friggin joke. Anybody that has half of a brain that lives in Wisconsin knows that we can’t sustain the number of wolves we have! But like Dan Maule had mentioned, most of these yahoos are people living in Madison and Milwaukee. The northern deer herds are complete garbage due to this. Some of the best deer hunting areas were up there and are now just beautiful big woods deserts!!!!! In my honest opinion, we should get a fleet of dozers and just level Milwaukee and Madison! Push it all up into a burn pile!

Upper Michigan is in the exact same condition as Northern Wisconsin. At least you guys were able to kill a few last year, just scratched the surface but at least it’s something.

Wolves were always around in NE Minnesota, and we averaged 8-14 bucks at our hunting camp for over 50 years. We have had some tough winters before and rebounded quickly, but that no longer happens with 3,500+ wolves in our backyard. In the last 8 years we only shot 4 small bucks during one season 5 years ago, and nary a track ever since. A way of life has ended.
If I hadn't started hunting out west 16 years ago, I would likely have hung up my spurs.

and there you have the end goal for which the reintro occurred. means to an ends. that is all the wolf is .......means to an ends!!
I have no particular objection to wolves being reintroduced , IF locals have full power to manage as they see fit.
IDAHO finally has a year long season on them.

It really is a sad site to see! I knew people when I was growing up that hunted nw Wisconsin....superior, bayfield, Ashland, etc... I was always in amazement of how they always had really big bucks harvested and hanging every year. Great deer heard with great genetics. Then slowly, year by year, as the wolves gained ground, less and less of those deer were being shot or even being sighted! Then......no deer, no bucks, nothing but a void area of deer! It’s just sucks!
wonder how long it will be till we are hunting wolves and arguing against the reintroduction of deer and elk. lol.

Why do you think the Defenders of Wildlife filed suit in California. The 9th Circuit Federal Court is one of the most liberal federal courts in the nation.

No wolf is going to survive me or almost everyone of my friends. If we can't legally hunt them, than we will illegally kill them... every single one of them. Screw the courts and the wolf loving DNR. They have had their chances at regulated hunting. No more.
