It's weird.
We've got wolves here - always have had them. Lots of them. Lots of game too. We also have farmers, domestic animals and all the rest also. Up here - they all co-exist.
But the minute they get south of the 49th parallel - it's as if they turned into vampires or werewolves or something. They transform into these wicked demon-like creatures that destroy nature, kill all the game animals, destroy hunting opportunities and put farmers and ranchers out of work.
It must be something in the DNA.
North of the 49th parallel - they act like just one more cog in nature's tool-box - but south of it - they transform into the wicked beast of myth, fable and nightmares.
Weird how that transformation works....
Here's the deal.
Let's use Utah as an example.
Arguably the best trophy elk hunting in the world.
Extremely limited opportunity for the nonresident hunter.
Only 1-4 nonresident tags in the best units.
You let the "Yellowstone" wolves continue their migration south and what do you think that is going to do those precious few nonresident tags?
Exactly.
