What you talking about Willis? I don't get to see too many documentaries but I was able to hunt with a rancher from the original roof reintroduction committee.

I'll say what were all thinking......Lets hope a pack of wolves attacks and kills lots of liberals, voters and politicians who voted this in.
Flame away! - Bunch of ignorant false bravado. Not the way to fix things. "They cannot complete with gray wolves which are bound to move south." That's what everyone thought when Ed Bangs and his group thought when the reintroduced them farther west. Not what happened. Pretty much, the moved north, back to what they were bred for. They will primarily move north. My point was this....Why do you think Congress passes laws that effects everyday people but hardly them? Would the president of the US do something if his/her kid got ran over and killed by a drunk driver? Would Senators get serious about crime if their child was murdered? Not enough BAD things happen to people who are decision makers in our country. And my point is still valid to me if but for my own personal wishes....I hope a pack of wolves does something very bad to someone who wanted the wolf mess the west has now.

One of the items that doesn't get much attention in this proposition is the actual cost. CPW cost estimates for the reintroduction effort ranged from $5 million to $6 million over six years. CPW wildlife conservation funding comes almost entirely from hunters and anglers who buy licenses and habitat stamps. These are the very same people who vehemently oppose the proposition. So all of us who hunt and fish annually in Colorado (including my whole family) get to foot the bill for this terrible idea, which was passed by urban majorities on the Front Range, most of whom do not buy hunting/fishing licenses. Only in America can the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund get what they wanted against heavy opposition and not have to pay for it.

It doesn’t get much attention because it was silenced, the state government gagged the CPW biologists from top down. 100% political

Question...all these wolf re-intro's, Who was behind it? Anti hunters? Liberal tree huggers? State biologist? Republic of Boulder, and out of state anti-hunting org. They outraised anti-forced introduction 2x1. State biologist don’t want the wolf for the most part but have a gage order.

Not state biologists in CO. It was an out of state group.
