MT_Sourdough Report post Posted September 12, 2015 How that wolf ended up in the Grande Canyon is extremely suspicious. Wolf reintroduction folk were outspoken about how they wanted a reintroduction of wolves into the Grande Canyon. Then whammo, all of a sudden a female wolf appears in the Grande Canyon. The wolf reintroduction folk said their biggest concern was that if the wolf escaped the park, it might get shot. So a wolf supposedly travels almost a thousand miles across an unlikely path and is never seen, yet the reintroduction folk biggest concern is it leaving the sanctuary of the park. Plus it has a collar on it, but they never fallowed its progress. Sorry, I do no buy it. Well, the wolf left the park and got shot. Good riddance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Sparky Report post Posted September 12, 2015 Sounds to me like they are trying to stop coyote hunting through the accidental wolf killing. This was never a "confirmed sighting" as they had a picture but could not pick up a radio collar signal. As known by all a picture can be altered to show what you want. I mean a 200 mile radius from a wolf sighting at my house means no coyote hunting from Las Cruces,NM to Las Vegas,NM and the AZ line to the TX line. I call BS on this one.

billrquimby Report post Posted September 12, 2015 A cousin of one of my friends claims his brother-in-law's mother overheard someone at a grocery store say she had it on good authority that the wolf at the Grand Canyon arrived there in a Prius. Incidentally, a few feral camels left over from a failed experiment to use them as pack animals were mostly history by the turn of the 20th century. (I used to have a copy of Arizona's game laws from that era, and feral camels were listed as protected animals.) It's a good thing they didn't survive here. The hundreds of thousands of feral camels in Australia's outback are a huge problem. Bill Quimby 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted September 12, 2015 ooooh, and it was named echo.............how sweet. anytime they start naming wild animals you've got problems. anyone with any sense know the endangered species folks, usfw, center for biologic perversity, etc are all just high paid clowns that lie for a living anyway. simply a crime they have so much authority and the ear of every lib in dc. bill, a friend of mine showed me video of a herd of camels by portal a few years ago. said they were walking down the road. one came up and stuck it's head in the window and slobbered all over him and the steering wheel and then tried to bite the mirror off his truck. don't know what the deal was there, but he had video proof. seems like one of em had a halter on it tho, so probly got loose from someone. Lark. ps-maybe they will clone some neanderthals so casey won't feel so alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted September 13, 2015 Lark: When SCI opened its museum years ago, they hired a couple of guys to wear French Foreign Legion uniforms and ride camels (they furnished them) around the parking lot. I never knew where they came from, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone near Portal had them. People keep all kinds of exotics. I saw elk in a high wire enclosure near Willcox a few years ago, and south of Tucson in the early 1990s we were driving a 4x4 two-track to see where it went and wound up at a pen with four or five large dog-like critters that looked like wolves to me in it. I've forgotten exactly where it was. The house and outbuildings looked like they belonged in Dogpatch. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattys281 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 There was some people that lived in the forest south of Williams that used to have buffalo on their property years ago. I have no idea if they still keep them now or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
