[Vision2020] Shooting Wolves

[lfalen]

I am not a hunter. I would rather do my hunting with a camara. We have a lot of quail and pheasants runing around  our yard. I do not want anyone shooting them. We have enjoyed a cottontail in our yard all winter, there are  now two of them. On this beautiful day there is a bunch of orioles here. I enjoy the wildlife. Where I was raised in Owyhee County the hunters spent most of their time drinking and taking sound shots. It was the most dangerous time to be out.  Having said all that wolves  are a major problem for cattlemen.  In the Riggins area a lot of calves are being lost. The payment plan to reimburse cattlemen for their lose is not working. Some sort of controlled hunt is needed as a management tool.I now must go  check on a goat that is about to kid. What a beautiful day to be born.

Regardless, of one’s position in this ongoing argument, I am repulsed by the following statement. “ Aerial gunning of wolves in the Lolo Zone could begin "with all due haste," if the animals are delisted by the end of this week, said Idaho Fish and Game Director Virgil Moore at Lewiston this morning.”  This is crackpottery and blood lust of the first degree.  Shooting animals from a helicopter – I can’t imagine any genuine sportsman or woman who would want to be connected in any way with these despicable antics.  Shades of the half-term governor Sarah Palin.
