I had heard about the north rim, but now along the rim?

I guess if they did that there will be no more reason to fight the shooting of does in the kaibab, why the studies if you are going to change the entire dynamic of the results. Plus I was told that aside from the kaibab herd that mule deer are struggling across the rest of the state (drought was the reason), why hurt a struggling deer herd with more predators, not to mention antelope that already have enough problems with coyotes.

 

"It's just part of a strategy to restore the ecosystem, and wolves are a key component of that," Crumbo said.

 

Well I guess humans haven't been a part of the ecosystem long enough to matter.

We already have a new predator in the eco system that has taken the place of the wolf.

It's the automobile.

It kills more animals than any pack of wolves could ever think about killing.

Sounds great! I'm all for it! Let's do it! Maybe we could train them to eat the cows in the National Forests!

 

 

 

OK, now you guys can start trashing me. I'll be gone for the next three days anyway to unit 22, helping my 11 year old on his first turkey hunt.

That is one of the silliest articles Ive read in a while. Just remember kids "in the wild wolves typically avoid people"

[BASS]

So when can we start hunting them like they plan to do in WI?

 

"There is historical precedence for wolves in this area,"

 

There is also historical accounts that there use to be grizzlies in central Az, should we reintroduce those too?

Now that's a great point. Where's the wolf hunting opportunity?

Looks like more hunting opportunity around Flagstaff. Closing roads on the Kaibab so a Wolf won't be killed by vehicles and to provide open habitat is rediculous. We thought the Kaibab deer hunting was bad now...a deer is a snack to a pack of wolves. Hmmmmmm wonder if they thought about why they haven't been seen around the mogollon rim since 1942....

The wolf is a tool to lock up and or restrict large portions of public land. - Have they noticed how many people are camped along the rim every summer weekend?

Im cool with it if the wolves have to put in for the draw too.

[mattys281]

If those wolves have the same impact that they "estimated" they would have in the Blue Range, I can gaurantee you'll see much few deer tags for you rifle guys & archery hunters will be applying to hunt that area in the very near future.

That's funny
