Colorado is adding wolves to the state. Idiots. Why doesn't California want them? I think California needs some grizz and wolves re-introduced. Berkeley Hills, California would be an ideal place. They would find their way to town. And put a huge fine and jail for killing one. If they start killing pets, well too bad.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

For Nebraska and neighboring states with "no official wolf population", be diligent in shooting those "large coyotes" whenever they show up. It only takes a wandering female wolf to meet up with a wandering male to establish a pack in your state, then government will protect the wolves for ever.

Did they really “wander in”. Or did the feds and state transplant them?
Years ago ND denied the existence of mountain lions, after several sightings (which they denied or spun as house cats...) and shootings of non existent lions, they had a season.
G&F has their own hidden agendas.

"The growth in wolf populations in the Upper Great Lakes in recent years is making it more likely that a young wolf might stray into nearby states like Nebraska, a state wildlife biologist said."
And also into the Lower Great Lakes like coyotes. Coyotes were nonexistent here 50 years ago.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Wolf packs control pack size by driving excess youngsters away at pain of death. These youngsters are the wanderers which meet up to form new packs, if territory is available. With no population control by hunting or trapping, there is an endless supply of wanderers.
BUT. It is very possible the state or feds are doing secret transplants. For example, the Michigan UP went from essentially zero wolves to a huge population wiping out the deer herd in about 25 years. The official story was that the wolves were excess youngsters from Northern Minnesota that crossed the big rivers by Duluth and wandered 400+ miles to the UP. Once here, all the excess pups quickly formed new packs.

I saw a color phase wolf last week that I hadn't seen before. reddish black. Big one, too - crossed the road about 200 yards in front of my truck when I was coming back from Anchorage. It was stretched out, moving fast!  . Pretty critter.

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

It might be better to have DNRs deny their existence; if they acknowledge them, they will protect them.
