ARTrooper Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 lol. I would want the shots to be good and I would keep the pelts. I know the dnr around here and I think them being in my yard and threatening to my family is justification enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 lol. I have connections. I am not one of those people that just wants to shoot wolves because I think they are bad. everyone around here says to shoot them but I find them beautiful and don't mind them. But when they aren't afraid of humans and could harm my family, they got to go. just like a porcupine that was eating my stairs the other day, all I need is my son walking up and petting it. lol. and actually when my son did see the wolves, he pointed and said doggy... not good.

survivalshop Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Bad Doggie ! They serve a purpose to an extent , but getting too friendly is very dangerous , same with Coyote's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty creepy when you 30-40' up in a tree stand and they look right at you 50 yards away. My fear always was being elbow deep in gutting a deer and have them come up on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in PA & Bow Shot a Doe in the Neck & by the time we found her it was dark & gutting her I could hear the Bears grunting & sniffing , thats enough to make a quick drag out of there . Yote's or Wolfs , bad deal also at night . Edited November 5, 2016 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been reports out of Cali for awhile now, coyotes snatching toddlers on family outings to state parks and such. They are getting used to people everywhere but especially in the large metro areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has seen the maiming-game that wolves like to play would agree. Run down a prime big game animal like an elk, deer, or moose, just to take a few chomps out of its haunches and then leave it to die. No pack feeding on the carcass. They then transfer that behavior over to livestock. Cattle, sheep, anything on a ranch. 11 minutes ago, shepp said: Really? Is that why the piled up buffalo by the thousands sometimes only taking their tongues?? That's a pretty poor comparison, greed of making an easy buck compared to losing a herd or flock to a voracious predator. Every culture and every history around the world speaks of the struggle against wolves for thousands of years. We finally get wolves in check to a manageable point and Disney-born college-educated equalitarians want not only to protect the endangered wolves, but reintroduce the "cute huggly fluffy dogs". Can't find the original species? We'll introduce bigger wolves and wolf-hybrids. That'll teach those bad ranchers raising our burgers.

unforgiven Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The slaughter of the buffalo was more of a thrill kill than anything else. Just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they did that to remove the Indians food source and force them on to the reservations. Diabolical but not stupid. Stupid is reintroducing anything that will harm or kill my grandchildren. Lets just reintroduce smallpox to Europe, it was part of the natural environment at one time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I see this thread heading off in another direction, like usual. lol. Magwa, thanks for the information and article on the wolves/disease. but I still would probably keep the pelts, I have gloves and protective gear the state issues me for dealing with people that have diseases, so I will just use that gear. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
