Wolves!

Just look how patient that wolf is. Perfect killer!! He will harrass that group untill finally one lets its gaurd down and then he will kill one of the cubs.. Also look how big that wolf is. If we dont do something about this there will be no elk or deer left to hunt.. Introducing a foreign species into an eco system is an absolute travesty..
Now before you say wolves were native to the area let me explain the facts. Canis lupus lycaon were native to the yellowstone region. They are about the size of a german shepard dog. Males average 55-75 pounds. They naturally predated on deer and sick weak animals. Then the Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery team in all its wisdom found 4 wolves in Glacier national park and transplanted them into the yellow stone region. The only problem is that the wolves in Glacier were genus canis lupus occidentalis. The canadian grey wolf. With these wolves the males average between 100- 145 pounds. (Wolves of this genus have been recorded up to 250 pounds) In there natural habitat they hunt moose, cariboou, dall sheep, and musk oxen. There natural prey is mainly from the endless caribou herds. These wolves are natural born killers. They hunt in large packs and are just about a perfect predator. They even pushe the grizzly bear around.

We had a DUSTING of snow right before sunlight...found a lone track right after that. He made his tracks after the snow...I got on his tracks about an hour after sun-up...
He was pretty close by from what we gathered..we made a big circle around him and he was in the canyon the whole time.

I just read a guest editorial in my local paper agruing in favor of rapid, expanded introduction of wolves into washington state. The author's name is David Graves. I googled his name and found that he has donated at least $3500 dollars to democratic politicions the last several years. The title of his editorial was "wolf plan needs more science". The only science he mentioned in his article was something to do with wolves leading to cleaner water and healthier ungulate populations. Seems like quite the stretch to me. I can't imagine very clean water with all the rotting partially eaten elk corpses floating in it.

Don't let them get started, if you have heard of it in a paper then it has aready been going on. Oregon had been reintroducing them for two yrs. while the fish and game said there are no wolfes in Or. Then all at once North east Or. had a population of 600. Now there eating the ranchers sheep, calfs, dogs, whats next?
Just my two penny's
We already have them too. I am not sure if they have been planting any yet, but there has been a confirmed pack of wolves in the north Cascades for a few years now, and I am hearing of more and more sightings farther south down the crest of the cascades. They are also in the North East part of the state, migrating from Idaho. The liberal who wrote that article wants to introduce them in the far west and the south central parts of the state. He must have forgot to mention the Blue Mountains in the South East, that would mean wolf populations in every mountain range in the state.

Yes definitely, are in the blue Mts. About 8 to 9 years ago the was a group of people that where planting them in the Blues. Plus coming in from Idaho.
These people have no idea what they ask for buy reintroducing the WOLF. My great grampa Told me many years ago that they killed those bastards off for a reason!!!! I will never forget that Quote from him. We already have problems here in EO with the small population, competing for food, the Alpha males are running off the younger dogs, and they are forced to come into the valley and strart on the sheep, calfs, and pet dogs.
