Oh boy another squirrel squeezer, you do know what PETA stands for right? People Eating Tasty Animals…. the man is a hard core hunter like alot of us, just like thousands of us red blooded americans he believes in predator control and keeping the canadian grey wolf (wich this species was never a native to the lower 48) in check by any means possible, and yes they do KILL for fun and KILL livestock on regular basis ive seen i first hand, ive also watched with my very clear and very good eyes as a pack of five wolves hamstringed a mature and very healthy bull moose and then leave him to bleed out and die a long and drawn out death, and youll also like to know they never returned to claim there glory killing…..EVER. The reason i know is cause i checked…. Every day! They also kill pets STEVE i know a man that had his best lion dog killed by two male wolves ON THE CHAIN in front of his house he has pics to prove it. Ive lived in northern Idaho for 34 years and hunted in Idaho for 22 of them and the wolf population is out of control and NO they were not native here, they are wiping out our elk, mule deer, and moose like crazy leaving alot of them to just lay and rot. Trying to stop, harass, or threaten hunters while there trying to harvest game or predators will land you in jail. Period…. Your probably against loggin too huh Steve, i would love to see you wipe your a** with a pine cone. Well i am a logger and i would love to see you come and try to stop me from running my skidder and doing my job. See ya later Steve you wont be missed, this hunting season just like others in the past me and my buddies will be packing out alot of tasty venison on our backs with our Mystery Ranch packs you can count on that. Probably a few big black bears too. Good job on the wolf hunt and great pics i love my crew cab

I´m not from the U.S. and I still require to get more knowledge on this wolf hunting topic, in order to render an opinion. It´s difficult for me to understand how is hunting permited, since I come from a background were all wilderness animals are protected from being hunted. Can you give me a heads up on this?

Steve, Steve, Steve… Marine here, and you sound about as ignorant as Al Qaeda. I really enjoy food… it keeps me going. If we shouldn’t kill animals, how will we keep going? I love wolves and every other creature out there. Hell, if I find a spider in my room I pick’em up and put’em outside! However, if that spider happened to be a brown recluse that could possibly harm me or my family, I’m not so sure I’d take the chance. If a pack of wolves grows too brave around my flock of sheep,which provides food for my family and me, I’m gonna thin that pack out. You think everything is meant to live forever? Why is it within nature to die? Shit happens, and sometimes good things come from that. I can assure you, that man hauling away the wolf will use it as if it were a gift from God, which it was. Besides that, how does Mystery Ranch have a say in what someone does with their packs? Their packs are top notch! Have a nice day. Cheers.

Bye bye Steve to you and your friends. Thanks for coming by, sorry it didnt work out with you and mystery ranch. Many of us will be continuing to use our mystery ranch packs to pack out animals that we have killed. Good luck trying to stop that from happening.

Wolves are a beautiful creature. I have a great deal of respect and experience with wolves and coyotes. The house I use to live in was surrounded by sheep farms.I can confirm the fact that wolves and coyotes do in deed kill livestock. My old friend Borden use to lose more then half his spring lambs and at least a half dozen full grown sheep every year. This does not mean we should wipe the wolf from the face of the earth. However they do breed just as quickly as domestic dogs and their population must be controled. You know what they say about getting into an arguement on the internet. That said just let me express that you can sit at home in your mother’s basement thinking your spirit guide is the wolf all you want. If you ever come face to face with a pack of wolves in wild with nothing at hand but a peta flyer…use it to clean yourself once you learn the truth about wolves. Cheers

There are two extremes to every situation. Hunting wolves is a touchy subject for many, but through smart wildlife management, ethical hunting (they deserve it like any big game animal) and the satisfaction that comes from a hard hunt, chasing wolves in the wild with a tag in hand is something that, due to the numbers being where they are, we will see again in 2012 and beyond.
I am not for wiping them out like some rant and rave about, nor am I for not hunting them, especially when we have a sustainable and hunt-able population. Go after it like any other hunt–work hard, put in the time, and honor the experience; very few of us hunters will get a chance like that in many years of trying. It is a rare wilderness experience. Congrats.
