Wolves are a huge mistake and CO wildlife is going to pay dearly. Sad some people live in fantasy land and are not grounded in reality. There is a reason they were poisoned/extermintated from the west years ago.

There is a reason they were poisoned/extermintated from the west years ago. the reality is actually well planned. Bulk of CPW budget is NR tag sales. if they can severally cut tag numbers from CO, it leaves the resident hunters not wanting to share whats left with NR, and CPW underfunded. Once the Non Resident hunters are gone, what was left of NR conservation and legislative influence will be gone also. Then the anti hunting populous of the state will rail road hunting closures through legislative ballot vote.

And the woofs that are being introduced are a different critter than what they are "replacing". Reintroduction sounds like a noble and worthwhile endeavor to city dwelling soccer moms. It's definitely a long game, and if there's no hunting nobody needs a gun.

The best places I've hunted were loaded with wolves. Maybe we can load some up and dump them in your favorite hunting spot in Texas with no legal way to control them, sound good?
hold on Newt, we got a runaway

For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Exact same loons that “want to pet the bison” in Yellowstone. It does make for great entertainment and supports Darwinism!! So maybe they are right!😂 .

Just saw this posted at a transmission repair shop. Was told it’s real. Not sure how old.

The rural vs urban culture war in a nutshell. At some point hunters need to realize there’s no basis for compromise with these lunatics.

I’ve hunted most Western states for deer, elk, antelope and mountain lions. Now too damn old to tackle the mountains. Also hunted managed game in Africa.
My thoughts.
Every predator needs prey and the prey needs predators to keep them from over breeding. Coyotes and rabbits need each other. That’s the balance of nature. And Mama Nature can be a cruel bitch. Refilling a niche is a tough job. I agree that man has to be a factor.
I do not believe in the elimination of a species for man’s benefit. Nor, do I care much about what those with no skin in the game think. I think man has to manage wildlife to assure the balance of nature that WE have sometimes screwed up. In other ways, hunters have directly, both positively and negatively, affected those species.
I remember reading Teddy Roosevelt’s autobiography. He was proud to have killed one of the very few remaining mountain buffalo. Maybe the last one. I’ve always questioned that.
Bottom line?
I don’t much care for game management for purely economic reasons like getting me to come and and kill something. And I have very little use for uneducated tree huggers.

Things have been great for many, many, years without wolves. They offer nothing to livestock, ranchers, or game animals. There is no upside to wolves. Ranchers will practice the three S's to control them. If the wolf has a collar, attach it to the nearest semi passing through.

Have you seen how all this wolf stuff came about in CO?
ballot biology. They voted it in. They will do the same thing on wolf management. There will never be legal hunting in CO of wolves unless its scientifically proven Wolves are Racist, Trans targeting Conservative voters. Yup Exactly right CO = the new California pretty much. They will not give two chits what the cost to the ranchers are one damn bit. Until their pets start getting munched on and chit out then maybe they will see a problem and by that time it'll be way, way too late
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!
