A hunting controversy(wolves)

The Canadian Grey Wolf is under study by the Judge.
The wolf hunt is put on hold in Montana and Idaho until the Judge reviews the out come of last years hunt and the impact it had on the Canadian Grey Wolf that was introduced in the lower 48 states in the 1990's.
I might say that this wolf is not the same one that was here in the early days when the settlers first arrived in America.That wolf strain was much smaller and fit in with the environment much better.

Wolf hunt is over this year

The wolf hunting season is now over in the lower 48 states.

The wolf harvest in Idaho netted 185 wolves and left 35 more tags empty.Most of the wolves were bagged in the lower portion of the state.

Montana's wolf harvest ended quite a while back with 76 wolves harvested,and that was Montana's quota for this year.

You can purchase wolf tags for this year but hunters will not know if there will be a season,as it will be up to one Judge to determine after looking over the stats.

You will get a refund on the tag if they close season also.But in the mean time you may want to get into shape with the Extreme home fitness workout program below.The P90 X has multiple DVD's to help you get into fit shape for this years hunt.

Good luck hunting.

With today being the twenty seventh of March,which leaves only four more days of wolf season in Idaho.

I do not see the state meeting their quota on wolf kills as there have only been one hundred eighty five wolves harvested with a remaining thirty five to go.

The northern end of the state that borders Montana is the area that needed to be hunted the most but due to the snow pack,it makes it very hard to get into.

So it seems the wolf packs will extend their ranges farther into the north and east areas of Idaho this coming year.

As of today the wolf hunt in Idaho has produced 183 controversial dead wolves with a remainder of 37 left to harvest by the 31st.of March 2010.

Then the wait will be on for the courts to decide if there will be another wolf hunt in Idaho and Montana.

Idaho has a projected count of over 800 wolves in the forests at last count.

Human killed by wolves

Alaska;

It is presumed that a pack of wolves killed a school teacher,as she was jogging in rural Alaska.

This will not be the last incident of this type as wolves are getting closer to towns and farms.

March 12,2010

Update; As of this posting the new count of wolves living in Idaho and Montana has flourished to 1760.Many hunting zones in Montana have been closed to hunting Big Game animals this coming year due to the lack of animals to hunt.

I suppose you could say that the wolf is taking it's toll in a hurry now that they are out of control,and will never be harnessed again.

The wolf tally is at 164 wolves harvested with 56 remaining to be bagged by the end of season,which is March 31,2010.

It is time for all Montana's to buy their Hunting and Fishing licenses again.
There have been changes made to the taking of some species,mainly the White tailed Doe,which will not be harvested at all this year.
Montana had a bad winter kill a couple years ago along with the Wolf gaining new territory and taking their share of big game animals.
The Wolf has grown to a population of over 1000 animals in Idaho and Montana alone.
Wolves have also spread into Oregon and Washington.
The Mexican Government wants to introduce wolves there also,which means they will spread back into Arizona,New Mexico,California and Texas.
Keep this pace up and forget hunting Big Game all anymore,as the wolf will eventually wipe all game animals out,plus many Sheep and Cattle ranches.
Montana is having the problem of wolves killing cattle and the Fish and Wildlife cannot keep up with the problem wolf as they don't have enough Predation Officers to cover the vast expanses of the West.
By the time U.S.Fish and Wildlife Officers arrive the Wolf is 40 miles away in someone Else's herd.

Wolf harvest as of today 2/25/2010

The wolf tally is up to 159 harvested with 61 left to harvest by March 31,2010.

Idaho isn't going to meet the 220 wolf limit,I am sure.

From Idaho Fish and Game>>

Since 2003, confirmed wolf depredations on livestock have increased nearly threefold from 140 to 385 in 2009. In that time, the wolf population has gone from a minimum of just under 400 to a minimum of 850 wolves.

One of the goals of Idaho's wolf management plan is to allow wolves to persist in areas where they do not cause excessive conflict with human activities. But in areas where wolf depredation on livestock is chronic or losses are deemed unacceptable, sterner measures are used.

Today marks another score on the hunt of the big bad wolf.

145 wolves have been harvested in Idaho.This leaves 75 more to process before the close on March 31,2010.

Sometimes you need to purchase a game call,which helps to attract predators to you!

As of this posting Idaho has harvested 143 wolves with 77 left for the hunters to bag before the close of season on march 31,2010

Fewer North Idaho families will have elk steaks in their freezers this fall. Two severe winters, plus a growing wolf population, have dramatically reduced elk calf survival rates. To allow the herds to recover, wildlife managers shortened hunting seasons by seven to 14 days. The cutbacks affect archery, rifle and muzzleloader seasons.

Skinning a Wolf.

When skinning a wolf,always wear gloves (preferably the latex kind doctors wear)

Be aware that wolves can carry mange,and this ruins their coat,so do not skin them.

Do not transport the hide,without first putting it into a bag,as to keep from getting exposed to ticks,etc.

Just tag the animal and take it to the fish and game to be counted.

The fish and game will usually issue another tag.

If the wolf has a collar on it,you can still harvest the animal.

Turn the collar into the fish and game.

Don't cut the collar strap off,as it the collar can be used on other wolves for tracking.

Make sure to clean your knives and hands with soap and water after skinning and bagging the hide.
