Hunting & Fishing YNP Wolf 30 Day Study

[CoCaDoRi]

So last night on the Bozeman news.... The ying yangs in the park are finishing up their 30 Day Wolf study. They say there are only 120 Wolves in the park. HA! They also said that they are looking into other reasons why the Elk population is down from 20,000 Elk to 6000 Elk. Reasons other than the wolf? Well they are right in a way. See the Wolves kill off most of the young breeding Elk early in the cycle. Then all that is left are older non breeding Elk. Which is why you see very low Cow/Calf ratio's. Hence why the numbers are down. Great people we have working the park... Glad to see my tax dollars are wasted...errr I mean well spent.

rant over....

Breaking news.... Washington state just adopted a Wolf Management Plan (meaning, "Fuck yah let's have some wolves!") and in the publicity announced that we have a breeding pair in the Teanaway, which is ~35 air miles from where I'm sitting.
Couple guys I know have the late elk tags in that area. One ran over 35 miles of good elk country on his sled, saw zero elk, zero tracks but LOTS of wolf tracks; the other actually saw the damn things.... right next to the highway.
I can't believe our state gubmint. After watching Idaho, Montana, and other states have wolf problems, they went ahead with adoption of the program, so we're gonna have the fuckers here in bigger numbers than we do now.
On the bright side, an established pack north of here has somehow disappeared over the last few months. Biologists are baffled. I bet the locals aren't.
I can't wait until the reintroduced cute fuzzy wolfies start killing livestock and pets locally, too... And the first human casualty oughta have the lawyers lining up to sue the state.
