If people will shoot every wolf they see, wolves won't ever be able to establish a population.

Wolves have long been a divisive species, particularly in rural areas where many farmers and ranchers consider them an unacceptable risk to both humans and livestock. But for many Americans, they evoke a powerful and meaningful emotional connection with wild places and the natural world.

In keeping with that divide, Colorado voters barely approved the wolves' reintroduction, and the law received most of its support from liberal urban residents living far from where the wolves will be released.
Those Americans happen to live in cities and suburbs. Most don't hunt. Practically none farm or ranch. The wolves won't be in THEIR back yards.

It's very much the same as the invasion along the southern border, people that are far removed from the consequences of the choice are calling the shots.

Ya'all want some griz we will send ya some.

And that's a serious problem for western democracies. Governments are elected by their big cities because that's where the majority of citizens live. And that's where WOKE germinates, thrives and takes over the minds of people, including the current younger generation and future prospects. Same here in Canada, There are three major cities, maybe four, that elect our federal government. And the government appoints officials that miror themselves with their far left ideologies.

So that's the problem with wolves in your back yards, and not theirs. It's not gonna get better barring a revolution, serious depression, war or (hopefully) a miracle from God (see: The Bible, book of Proverbs ch 3, verses 3 - 6)

Umm, no they won't. The federal charges would ruin them financially.
They already have wolves, wonder why they haven't all be shot ?

Now when they cross into Wyoming we will take care of them, legally.

Heard the same thing in Montana when the so called reintroduction happened almost 20 years ago, you will never shoot them all no matter how hard you try.
The most effective way is trapping and poison and the latter will never happen.

If I got a collar, I’d tie some sticks together with the collar on top and toss it in the nearest creek.

Doesn't work, they did that on Yellowstone and the collar still got traced back to Rip. smile

I’d never shoot a federally protected wolf in Colorado. We are however forced to buy small game license to apply for elk tags so my plan is always to shoot coyotes even though they get so much bigger in CO than back home. Wouldn’t bother to retrieve the pelt or come near a dead large coyote.
