It’s now Sept 16,2009 And the gov. “head man” of Montana has passed a bill allowing 800 wolves to be open season Just like Sarah Pallin did in Alaska hunting them from helocopters planes shooting them from flying aircraft on the tundra of the snow with no place to run and hide .
Some sportman think this is hunting i say it just slaughter for their sick fun, puke puke.
Montana for profit just like Pallin for PROFIT IN ALASKA. THIS IS A CARRY OVER OF THE BUSCH ADMINISTRATIONS POLICIES.
This has been in the minds of Montana’s travel
industry and for profit cold blooded murder.
We have given up our duty to protest these creatures from sick hunger preditors that have had their fun at canned hunts and no are bored so they go after animals from the air and commit mass murder.
Sara Pallin we are waiting for you when you try to sneak in to the next G.O.P. running for the Whitehouse we won’t forget !!!!!!

ellie is really naive.

And so is anyone else who thinks there is a place in the settled regions along the Northern Rocky Mountain chain for an unchecked, unregulated population of killing machines like the gray wolf. These predators are now wiping out elk populations that took a hundred years of conservation efforts to build back from the brink of extinction. If you think otherwise, take your arguments to where only those who think the same way can read and share your thoughts. The impact wolves are now having on elk and other wildlife is being felt…and recognized. In the Bitterroot Mountains of Western Montana, biologist reported the spring 2009 cow-to-calf ratio the lowest ever…since the beginning of such record keeping. And next door in Idaho, the elk herds have already been dealt a lethal blow – with elk populations 30- to 40-percent below where they were just 8 to 10 years ago.

And in both of these areas, it would take 30 years for the herds to be rebuilt to late 1990s levels (before the impact of the wolf)…if every wolf were killed in those two states today. And that’s exactly where the sportsmen in these states will take it if the MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks; and the Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game; and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service continue to drag their feet and fail to get wolf management under way.

While wolf numbers continue to grow rapidly, elk numbers are in a serious nose dive. Coincidence? Only a fool would think so.

Here’s a simple solution…Those who love wolves should watch old Walt Disney films. Those who recognize the wolf for what it is, a pestilence forced upon us by an ego driven U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that’s now pulling down deer and elk populations, simply need to take up arms and start shooting wolves. It’s time to do what the settlers of this land did a hundred years ago, eradicate the gray wolf from the Rocky Mountains – and for the same reason…they don’t mix well with humans, pets, livestock and other wildlife. They didn’t then, and still don’t today.

Save An Elk Herd…Kill A Wolf!

To EMM:
“2. In most areas with low total predator to elk ratios, elk numbers have remained stable or have increased since wolf restoration began.” – Exactly, why are you talking about the elk populations being stable in areas that have LOW TOTAL PREDATOR TO ELK RATIOS?
“In my humble opinion, hunters have thousands of prey out there.” – I do not want to have a hunting season on wolves simply for the opportunity to hunt another species, I just don’t want the numbers of the other animals to suffer.
To Donna Beth Mitchell:
“Overpopulation-are you serious?” – Yes we are serious, if you have watched the PBS shows then you should have seen that certain packs are dying off. This is a result of too many wolves living close together and passing disease from one to the other.

To EMM
Kudos and God Bless you for defending well and defending with facts! If only there were more people like you…
To PCW and the rest:
Overpopulation-are you serious? You all are obviously the people who BELIEVED the wolf stories growing up, and have an unreasonable prejudice against a beautiful and necessary predator. Many prayers for your education and change of heart.
