View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Sounds like my interaction with them. I used to run a couple trap lines when I was in high school in the early '80s. We started noticing more of these grayish dogs, coyotes, and they were not too afraid of people. We let the local "wildlife biologist" know that there were coyotes around, their population was increasing, and could we trap them (they weren't on the fur-bearing list in IL back then). He told us that there are no coyotes in IL and we saw a dog. Next week, we threw one on his desk and told him he needs to find the owner. /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/Jennifer-Lawrence-ok-thumbs-up_zps5c0357b9_GIF-103.gif Yep, we didn't want to get caught with it since it was a non existent species in IL. Buyer wouldn't touch it either. We never said how it died or how it came into our possession. |

Dad trapped a wolf the first year it was allowed in Wisconsin. Thought that was the end of it. Guess not!

Quoted: Fuck wildlife biologists. They are the most brain dead people in the Government. Every interaction I have ever had with a wildlife biologist, except one, was a joke. My favorites were when I said I h=found Wolverine tracks in the middle of the Chequamegon forest. I told a WB about it and was told there were none in Wisconsin. So I set up a game game and got a picture of it. Was told I was pretty much lying. Just like the WBs telling everyone there was no way mountain lions were in WI, until game cams started showing them. My bro in law has a place in Montana and in his area, the elk are gone. Just gone due to wolves. Areas in WI were stripped of deer for years until the packs ate them all and moved on. It is quite depressing to walk up on a feeding area to dind bones and hair everywhere from multiple deer. Fuck wolves and fuck anyone who supports wolves. They should be eradicated everywhere in the wild. The only place wolves should exist is memories and a few select zoos. Don’t get me started on what they do to hunting dogs... View Quote I was in WI in 95 when they started introducing them in MN. It was all the tree huggers could do not to jerk off in public. |

Quoted: Saw my first Wi wolf back in 1974 outside Ashland,WI...reported it to the DNR they treated me like a criminal... View Quote I'm glad you brought this up. I was hunting deer near Ashland in the mid to late 90s. I distinctly remember some of the local hunters talking about wolves they had seen up there. They seemed like solid guys and not bullshitters. I was told by some others that this was impossible, but anyone who has seen those woods knows the location is perfect for them. |

Which is a bigger meaner version of the Native Timber wolves. They have decimated the moose population, which the DNR was swearing wasn't the case and blamed it on hoof and mouth and CWD. Which everyone but the true believers knew was bullshit. MN has paid out $150k a year for the last however many years to farmers to lost livestock. I expect a wolf hunt is coming. |

I've seen wolves up close. They freaking monsters in Wisconsin. Raised for generations on easy high protein diets of our big white tail deer. Paws bigger than the spread of a man's hand. 6' long. Absolute monsters as a pack. Killing a few will cause a protracted battle, because losing pack members brings them into heat and brings larger litters. Large cats are known to come into barns and kill everything too. Predators are raw. (I still admire wolves though.) |

So what do you do after killing a wolf... trophy hunting... sell them to a Korean restaurant?
Coyotes I understand... bringing children across from Mexico... what, wolfs bringing children over from Canada? |

Arnt these wolves not the species of wolf that was originally here, but imported from Canada? Like our wolves were smaller and their Canadian cousins are bigger?

They need 5-7 lbs of meat, per day, per wolf to successfully breed and raise pups. They can get by on half that, but life isn’t great.
They ain’t getting 5 lbs a day just eating field mice. . . |

I’ve been trapping in Alaska for forty some years. I’ve been a wolf trapper for most of those years and in order to be good at trapping wolves, you need to have a good understanding of their habits. I applaud the loosening up of restrictions regarding taking of wolves. As you are probably aware, wolves are extremely prolific animals that without some sort of management, they will decimate the ungulate population that inhabit their range.
Will they kill for fun? Probably not for what we call fun, but to train their pups, or have an abundance of food, yes, I’ve seen them kill things never to return. Does it make them bad or evil? No, it makes them wolves, a top predator in the ecosystem. I believe bears do as much damage as wolves do, especially during calve season. I can understand people who have developed a hatred for them having seen what an unregulated population will do to wildlife and and stock,and a rancher should have his God given right to protect what is his. I hope this legislation will permit people to do so. Without human control, nature can take care of its self in circles. Wolves kill all the ungulates, then the wolves starve and die. When that happens, the ungulates start to thrive until the process reversed itself. Sometimes this takes many, many years. Would I like to see wolves eradicated from the planet? No way, but a well regulated season on them with an aggressive means of take will allow people to see and appreciate what they truly are, a expert predator that that has a place in the wild. I do believe that if an animal has killed your stock or your dog you should legally be able to kill that animals or animals. I’ve kept track and to date I’ve trapped over 165 wolves, so I’m not a bleeding heart, just my observations. |

Are they wiping out elk populations? Yes and every other deer species..... Btw, these wolves are a different species than were here historically. They are bigger. |

Here is how it should work.
If you see a damn wolf you shoot it, then If you see another wolf, you shoot that one, then If you see another wolf, you freaking shoot it, then If you are at home having coffee and need to walk/ride the ranch or take a hike and you see one of those damn alpha predator mofos, you shoot it. |
