I also heard that she’s upped the bounty on Sasquatches (plural?) by 50%.
Are you from Alaska?
Yes...it would appear that wolves are causing some kind of problem and the state put a bounty on them. They are not the cute or “MAJESTIC” creatures of myth, the are wolves.
Palin the Wolf Killah! goodness.. the MSM is pulling at straws.
I remember hearing the story in elementary school about how the inhabitants on my hometown EXTERMINATED the wolf population. I thought this was a GOOD thing.
Have you ever lived in an area where there were a lot of wolves?
I don’t know about the wolf thing but some liberal blogs are bent out of shape because she went inside a house once without wiping the snow off of her mukluks. I think it’s just another one of those wacky, moonbat conspiracy things though.
I used to bring Wolf skins to school for show and tell. It was cool.
I try to shoot every wolf I see during deer season, here.
They pack up and run the deer.
SSS.
A moose bit a wolf.
The program is designed to increase moose and caribou numbers by reducing the number of predators.
The more I hear about her, the more interested I become in relocating to Alaska
The media will attempt to ‘get her’ on polar bears. For the average suburbanite cable viewer, polar bears are cute and cuddly victims of Dick Cheney’s evil global warming plan. You know they are going to go down this road.
Little Red-state Riding Hood can rest easy tonight.
Maybe she can do something about the garbage and pet eating coyotes in my area.
Hunting wolves is nothing like deer hunting. Wolves do everything they can to stay away from humans, preferring to hunt along creek-beds for small animals such as rabbits. In the spring, during moose calving season, they kill a lot of newborn calves, homing in on them by the scent of the blood. Since wolves reproduce more quickly than moose it doesn’t take long for them to seriously deplete the moose population in a given area.
Wolf hunting is done with a light plane during the winter. The pilot flies low enough so a passenger (gunner) can shoot the animals with a shotgun. Once the wolf is down, the plane lands on a nearby frozen stream-bed and the wolf carcass is retreived on foot. The bounty is paid for the front foot and the hunter can sell the pelt to a fur dealer.
Considering the high price of fuel for the plane and the fact that the plane has to have one door totally removed, allowing the sub-zero wind to blow into the cockpit, it’s no picnic and there’s always the danger of clipping a tree with a wing-tip. Now THAT could ruin your whole day.
Bounties are often paid for predator deprecation hunts the hunt quota to keep predator population counts down is not met. Nothing unusual at all in large hunting States. Idaho for example used to pay bounties for Coyote tails.
Will only be an issue for anti-hunting peta people that never would have voted Palin...er I mean McCain...anyways.
We should raise the bounty maybe we could get the wolf population back into balance faster.
Don’t do that please.
The previous governor started the program, you are implying she started the program.
Wolves are hard on the other wildlife. I don’t have a problem keeping their numbers down.
Liberals love wolves because they look like doggies and they are “social,” in a communist sort of way. Wolves automatically regurgitate food when little wolves beg, like Big Government. Female wolves can be pack leaders if they are big husky bitches. There is an elite alpha class in wolf society that is allowed to breed while all others are not- lesser pack members end up raising the elite wolf’s pups. Wolves “cooperate” in mobbing and bringing down the innocent, and often begin feeding before killing their prey, just like liberals. Like liberals, wolves love sticking their noses in other animals’ business, and even in other wolves’ rear ends. Like liberals, they usually don’t do well on their own and need a pack with a big boss to tell them what to do because they are not impressive enough to intimidate others by themselves. They rudely howl in the late hours and wake up the neighbors.
So, even though liberals cannot bear to think about waterboarding a terrorist, they have no problem with wolves eating the organs out of a living victim. Even though libs advocate killing human babies because they believe in human population control, the thought of killing predators like wolves to keep their population in check enrages them.
