cramerhunts Report post Posted August 6, 2014 The following are groups which are currently supporting the expansion of wolves. I for the life of me dont understand it and have communicated with some of the groups representatives. After looking into this it appears they are giving concessions in order to have greater local control including removing wolves which are causing problems. It seems, in my opinion, they are giving up on ever getting rid of the wolves and are trying to seem like they are helping so they can gain some local control. In theory this may seem intellectual to some but I see it as weakness and will just allow these animal rights activist to gain momentum. I have told them I am in utter disbelief they would support anything regarding more wolves and will never support them or their groups/clubs again. In my opinion if you disagree with this you should let these people know and stop supporting their organizations until they do.

They are supporting the State's position to regulate it and not have the Fed's shove it down our throats. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Report post Posted August 6, 2014 The following are groups which are currently supporting the expansion of wolves. .... You must be confused. Just by reading the list and knowing how much at the forefront many have been against wolf expansion shows that you are misinformed. I tell you candidly, these groups support an alternative plan to what the Feds want to shove down our throat. With every groups newsletter and magazine printing information against wolves in the state, I don't know how you just made the above comment. I am on the road, but can be reached via email. It's in my profile. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueshunter Report post Posted August 6, 2014 Wdenike and others. you guys Getting involved is our only hope. Getting informed and either leading a group or assiting in efforts to prevent things like this wolf issue is how hunters can save your lands and maintain control. The federal gov is so huge and there are so many special lobbyists, that our collective voices can only be heard if we band together. All the Arizona conservation groups have joined together to fight with AZGFD against the federal government. Volunteer with any of our local conservation groups to help the cause in Arizona. It is not enough to just post your thoughts on CW or monstermuleys, try and get involved, your time will be very much appreciated by these groups and your grandchildren.

huntlines Report post Posted August 7, 2014 Cramerhunts- I understand what you are saying. However if getting control from the feds means expanding the population and range of these half bred wild dogs then I can't see how they are not supporting wolves? If they think once they get control from the feds they can slowly do away with the wolf program they are sadly mistaken. The feds will just step back in and retake control with more wolves and expanded territory. Chef- Ok you may be right that I am confused. I know these groups have been against wolves, however they are listed in the news release by the Game and Fish Department supporting the proposal G&F is submitting. The proposal is to increase wolf numbers and their territory. I don't see where I'm confused..... I know this proposal is an attempted step in the right direction in trying to get control away from the feds and give it to the state but we all know that will never happen. I see this as a game of give and take to try to have a bigger voice but all it is going to do is backfire. The only way to truly stop this is to get representatives in congress who will put an end to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murfys69law Report post Posted August 10, 2014 I posted a comment a few months back about my rancher friend who was attacked by wolves released down north of Safford. I saw pictures of the so called wolves released and I guarantee you without a doubt they are not purebred. They are dog cross and they need to be killed. They were hand fed by the wolf experts for quite some time to try to get them adjusted to their surroundings. WELL..it didn't work. All they did was kill cattle and Dean was told before they could do anything he would have to prove it was a wolf kill and not bear or lion as there were multiple track around the kills. My friend, Dean Warren of the four drag ranch lost numerous cattle from theses pests. He was told many times that he couldn't shoot them if he saw it happening. Finally they changed the law but by this time his ranch had been sold and he never was compensated for them as far as I know. I even had 1 of the so called WOLF recovery ladies admit at our campfire one night while she was trying to catch them, that they were mixed breeds and were raised in the Minnesota zoo before being released here. Good luck to the ranchers in Prescott if they release them. I dang sure will help control the population if they need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brian390 Report post Posted August 10, 2014 Like already said, wolves are the way that anti hunters see as a way to get rid of hunting. It seems like this country is getting more idiots than people with logic, and its sad to see it happen. Hunters need to keep speaking out against these destructive agendas of the anti hunters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, I did. I'm against the geographical expansion of the wolf recovery program, and 2 things I've come to realize. 1. The wolves are here to stay, the Feds don't care what we think or what we want, they will be here. 2. The only way to combat this to let the States have management over the wolves. That is why many others and myself support the game and fish proposal. Which is another sore spot. The Feds didn't even consider the AZ game and fish Proposal, basically thumbed their noses at that proposal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
