So who has bough a Wolf Tag?

[HeadLever]

I for one will NOT give F&G one more red cent than is absolutely necessary, untill they grow a set and stand up for hunters/sportsmen, and our elk & deer herds in this state!!!

Our quota for my region is set at 5 wolves. Well......... 3 have already been trapped/shot in this region which counts against our quota, so.... hmmmm only 2 left to get here is gonna be slim to nill to get one. I will wait till they come on my property this winter stalking my horses or dogs and get one without paying for a tag.

I understand your frustration, but the issue of wolf management has been out of the F&G jurisdiction until they were delisted. It is hard to point the finger at them directly since there was nothing they could do concerning the direct management of wolves. They did conduct some studies to help prove their point that they were loosing millions and millions of dollars due to the introduction of wolves. I agree that they were way too quiet about the impact of wolves and they should have been more vocal in echoing the frustration by the hunters and the studies of wolf depredations on deer and elk.

Also, I do not believe that conrol action counts toward the quota of wolves. The quota was set specifically for hunters, not for F&G/USFWS control actions. Reducing the quota number based upon control action will significantly reduce the number avaliable to hunters. I belive that 40 or 50 wolves have been killed this year already due to livestock conflicts. That would seriously reduce the number avaliable to hunters. In addtion, the Nez Pierce have been granted something like 30 wolves and this is seperate from the 220 quota

Control quotas are so far off it's not even funny. They fly overhead and count what they see and multiply it by acreage for that section, then upward from there to get their count for the area. JOKE.

The good thing I think we have going for us on Monday is it's only a hearing.

The EarthJustice dirt bags have 3 hours to prove to Molloy that they might have a chance at winning this case if it were to go to court.

And the 3 additional hours for rebuttal should be enough to create doubt that they'd win....I hope.

What scares me is that it will be the goverment laywers arguing for the delisting. Goverment laywers are usually the ones that can't find work in the real world. Lets face it, the salaries of the lawers that are being paid for the environmental groups will be 2 to 3 times the amount of the goverment lawyers.

Also, I fear that folks in this position of defending the goverment's action may not necessarily be a fierce proponent of this cause. With the interweaving of many goverment officials with the environmentallist, sabotage of this case would be pretty easy.

*Keeping my fingers crosssed, however*

Malloy is very left leaning.... Always has been. He needs to go away.

 

[mcgyver]

the Idaho F&G estimat they will sell 70,000 tags when it is all done..........CASH COW!!!!!

That ^^^^ right there is what has me bent out of shape. The azzhats wouldn't stand up and state the REAL TRUTH about what damage the wolves were doing to our herds.


And McGyver nailed it!!!!! 70,000 tags in Idaho alone...... $805,000 to F&G for a measly 220 dogs At least they are doing their part to help the auto industry

 

[HeadLever]

Here is some good news: Gov Schweitzer had indicated that he is willing to conter-sue if Molloy decides to block the wolf hunts. He is probably doing this because he wants to keep his butt in the Goveror's Chair, but hey, I'll take it.

Pretty good shot across the bow for Molloy to consider.

So am I to understand that you guys are bit(hing about the money they are getting to put back into our resourse? How much do you think has been spent to date on the damn wolves without no recievables? Think about what your saying.

Personally, I am glad to see the revenue come in as it will help the ungulates and other Idaho species as well.

Here is a little irony the I love......The DOW and other pro wolf orgs thought that the tags were going to be cut off at 220 so in an effort to safe the wolves, they went and purchased a bunch of tags to keep them from the hunters!
It's about time they actually contributed to the conservation of wildlife instead of just bit(hing!!!

Well, Here is today's update. Ashley Judd and the Defenders of Wildlife have just issued a Youtube video and you know what that means - Environmental Wacko Buzzphrase Bingo. Lets see what we have in this installment.....

"Put the 'wild' in America's wild places"
"Their families are alot like ours"
"ultimate goal is to slash the population in half"
"unleashing this sensless killing spree"
"orphaned wolf pups"
"unleashed this assault on the wolves by rubber stamping a Bush Administration Policy"
"save Idaho's wolves"

I love it when someone that has never even been to Idaho feels like they know what is best for wildlife management. If some of you have Youtube accounts, it may be a good time to go drop off a few comments while this video is still new.

I will type up something for Ms Judd. LOL

 

[Boondockin800]

What a bunch of crap!! What the hell is it gonna take to make the dam hippies happy?!?!? As soon as the elk are down to nothing they're gonna sing the same song but scratch out the word wolf and replace it with elk. This gonna sound terrible but I hope more suburbians start loosing pets to wolves to force open peoples eyes.
