750 - 1000 wolves planned in Az; meeting planned this weekend

[111]

The future of hunting in Arizona will soon be gone if Wolves are reintroduced to the current plan. There's environmentalist out there that don't like hunting at all, and they know they aren't going to take our guns to stop hunting.....so they might as well try another way. It all started in 1998 and was a plan to re-introduce a small amount of Wolves to see how they do. Of course they're going to do well with plenty of elk and deer to thrive on....and were not suppost to shoot them until our life is threatened! It's a long term plan for these groups to start with a small number of Wolves so basically the public gets used to them being part of the Wild. Then once we're used to their recovery they'll increase the population and expand throughout all of Arizona. After they get 1,000 Wolves, in a few years they'll be asking for 2,000. It's going to be like Idaho and Wyoming shortly if something is not done soon! I know Arizona has a dedicated group of Sportsman, maybe the strongest out West. I also feel that 99% of hunters do not want to see Wolves expand throughout Arizona and New Mexico! There has to be someway to combine our efforts as a group of hunters to fight against any Wolf introduction plan that ever hits Arizona!

My inlaws live in Alpine. They claim to have seen a wolf the length of a truck bed recently.

I guess I'm confused. Are we simply still confused as to just how hard we need to get on the trigger???

 

 

 

Take care, Willie

$60,000 dollar reward! Really? How good of friends do people have? How come nobody has ever been prosecuted? My understanding is that the USFWS knows that it would never hold up in court if DNA test results were shown. The genetics are muddled with domestic dog, all of the mexican wolves. The result would be admittance to what can now be dismissed as public speculation.

Took this picture off the sign in Williams Valley. Tears me up.
