Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Wolves kill more cattle in Colorado... 🤬

Same old rhetoric. MT has a 6 month season on elk and soon you will be able to kill 3. WY has a long season and you can kill multiple.

Not in favor of wolves but it’s not the doom and gloom guys try to make it out to be.

Guys that couldn’t kill elk before the wolf simply blame wolves for not being able to kill them after the wolf.

Almost everyone convicted of shooting a protected species either picked it up or handled it in some way or talked about it. Wolves do not generally hang around where there are lots of observers. Pick up your brass and walk off.

Something bad happened to some Wolves in an area up here, didn't take long for the law to start snooping around asking whodunnit, nobody seemed to know anything.
I don't see the difference from Wolves and Rats, they are similar.

I've been in plenty of places where that would be feasible. Not sure it is on your own ranch with a bunch of people there guarding your cattle. And no doubt some there to make sure nothing happens to the wolves.

Morning again my friend, we're part way out the door so I'll be uncharacteristically brief.

Without going into details because why would I?

The folks in the ranching and farming community that I know - for the most part - have either a backhoe or a track hoe on the place.

While I've heard rumors of some predator removal taking place, I cannot substantiate it, nor would I attempt to do so, again because why would I?

I'd be shocked down to my Canadian made Icelandic wool socks if the farmers and ranchers on the other side of the medicine line were substantially different, but I could be wrong.

Have a good one sir, we're off to the city for a grocery run.

The RMEF can eat a dick after that stunt. On a side note...I know they used to sell RMEF golf balls (might still?) I reached out to them and said it was ironic they supported golf, when golf courses and surrounding neighborhoods being built on winter range is a major contributor to declining deer and elk numbers in the west. Not to mention water usage. They are a piece of schit organization.

woof is just a big coyote in Utah.......

LOL

Shooting won't work boys, poison is your friend. Of course that's just what i've heard.

I'd say the wuffs reducing the North Yellowstone elk herd from 20,000+ to 4400 head is substantial, but maybe not to a POS bunnyhugger.

Eliminated the popular late cow hunts that helped families put good meat in their freezers.

That's pretty much doom and gloom to a lot of elk hunters.

I have been led to believe there is a method of reducing their numbers in a humane way, via baiting with a "poison" that simply sterilizes them. I like the idea although you aren't going to hear much about it.

I hope that is satire

The late season cow hunts eliminated the late season cow hunts.

An aging herd and liberal seasons were not sustainable. Anyone with just 2 firing brain cells saw it coming. Biology 101

Another thing, do not photograph. If you can help it do not get close enough to photograph. It has been surprising to me since I retired 11 years ago how many people put illegal stuff on Fakebook. Lots of cases made off of Fakebook admissions and cell phone videos and pictures.

I had a guy on face book ,who claimed to be a biologist ,and studied wolves . who claimed the very same thing .He told me wolves did not kill livestock or healthy wild game only the weak animals .I tried to tell him what y'all who live with wolves said ,he denied all of it ,so yes there are people that believe this

Practice the three S's. Shoot, shovel, and shut up. Wolves hunt in packs. They will rotate chasing a healthy animal until the animal can't run anymore, then the whole pack attacks the animal to kill and eat it. Doesn't matter how healthy the animal is. Wolves and bears were killed for two reasons. They were killing livestock and people might need the fur from either animal or the bear grease for cooking if they didn't have hogs. Most of the time they were killing livestock.

His last for 4 words are a good clue.

It was a number of years ago, but I knew a “rancher” that had a small outfit near Red Lodge. Wolves had been introduced and all was ok until the livestock losses started mounting up. Cowboys just started to shoot the wolves…. Some had sport targeting collared wolves then roping deer and putting the dead wolf collars on the deer. Wolves were almost eradicated in that area.

The powers that became to town to negotiate a truce. As related to me, the big beef was that filing a livestock loss claim was an administrative hassle and the poindexters reviewing the loss claims were denying or delaying many of them. So, the powers fixed it.

Suddenly, the livestock loss claims were processed promptly and paid. Last I heard most everybody ….except a few cows…..were ok with the arrangement.

The powers that be had to realize that it was part of their responsibility to come up with the money and prompt claim administration.

Congrats to BHA clowns like cal dumbed buzzh for getting wolves into the world's largest elk herd in Colorado. Since wolves have been introduced into Washington elk tags and seasons have been reduced over 50 per cent. .Oregon has hjsut gone to draw only non res archery tags because of the wolves. Used to be OTC tags over 50 yers

I never understand anti hunting, pro wolf trolls like you even bother posting on here.
