Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire MI man charged with killing wolves & eagles

UP deer herd devastated. Not safe to take your dog into woods. They terrorize livestock. Snowflakes and tree huggers may want wolves,

LOL.

Careful. Your ignorance is showing.

Again.

Not surprising.

if you can anybody can

UP deer herd devastated. Not safe to take your dog into woods. They terrorize livestock. Snowflakes and tree huggers may want wolves, I would like to see them all dead.

I'm with those who say the guy should be locked up.

My issue with the suspect is that he killed these animals because he could and liked doing it. He was not killing to protect his livestock, pets, or family but because he found enjoyment doing so. Substitute "neighborhood dogs" or "kids" for Wolves or eagles and most here would accuse the suspect of being an up and coming serial killer and be clamoring for his head. Many would also sing a different tune if the suspect was killing game for the fun of it versus feeding their family due to economic hardships.

I am not anti-hunting of wolves, far from it. The biggest problem with the ESA is the absolute and total protection given to the organisms placed on it. I do try to consider motivations behind an individual's actions before praising or condemning that person. In this case, based on the info given, I am not going to jump on his bandwagon.

Do tell us son of your wolf encounters.

Funny how all the folks that I know that live in the UP don't have this problem. You seem to have a wolf-phobia issue. You probably could use a few good sessions with a shrink and quit reading Little Red Ridinghood stories. You get scared to easy and the stories are made up. You know - fantasy.

Where do I start?

The part where I was employed as one of only 2 wildlife specialists qualified to accurately investigate re-introduced wolf program incidents?

The part where as a govt hunter, It was part of my job description to eliminate any large predator deemed to be a threat to the public? Including wolves.



You are so ignorant you squeak when you walk.

Now.... How about you let us know YOUR qualifications? How about a photo?

We'll wait.

But you fail to understand that it is not actually poaching when one is killing the predators of actual edible game.

This nation has spent $millions over the last couple centuries in the attempt to eradicate apex predators to protect this nations food supply. Then they turn around and spend $millions more to reestablish the apex predators for no more good reason than the furtherance of the disarmament of American Citizens.

Wolves on the endangered species list????LMFAO!

Let's move a couple hundred of the bastards into Central Park NY. That was historical habitat.

I have killed 2 in Idaho, one is rugged in my house. I have called in 9. A pic in pressed Wranglers standing by a truck in a state with no grey wolves hardly makes your point. All hat and all,,,,

What proof do you have those are wolf kills? Big buckles and goofy jeans don't make you an expert. Wildlife services would have killed those wolves lets see the pics.

Eagles are predators the same as wolves.

Lots of old timers shot the fugk out of them.

I think protecting any animal on the verge of extinction is prudent, but I can't fathom why anybody gives a fugk about some guy popping a couple in 2020.

No wolves on the hi line either. Yet. Jim would spread 'em. Then he would brag about it here.

Bald eagles are as much if not more scavenger than they are predator.

But it is harder to engender warm and fuzzy feelings over a scavenger vs. what is perceived to be a predator.
