>>On the other hand, I like camping, hiking and kayaking in what’s left of “the wild.” . . . For those who are scared, they can just pack a 44 mag or better.

Not in a National Park, you can’t. Or many states, as far as that goes. Shoot that attacking wolf, and you’ll probably get prosecuted, in the many jurisdictions being run by Bambiists.

Yeah, Timmy was a retard just asking to get eaten by a bear, too bad his girl friend was with him when it happened.

These wolf lovers don’t quite understand why our ancestors practically wiped them out. Of course they don’t really mind wolves killing livestock, pets and even an occasional person because few of them are ever in wolf country.

I think wolves should be "reintroduced" to urban areas first. Like Central Park.

Let the urbanites who love the wolves see them up close.

Thanks g.

The book “White Fang” comes to mind.

Also, there was a pack of wolves that preyed upon young children in India. Saw the documentary on it a few years ago. The experts couldn’t figure out what was taking the children. Then they were shocked to trace it to a pack of wolves because, as the story goes, wolves are supposedly such timid creatures.

"Little Red Riding Hood" story.

I've heard so many conflicting stories about wolves that I don't know what to believe.....except that they're opportunists.

Add to the list wild dogs, wild cats, bears...... coyotes, raccoons and any other varmint with teeth.

In Central Europe and Central Asia, wolves prowled towns in winter waiting for someone to die and be buried in a shallow grave for a quick snack. Kids were munchable too. Happened during wars too. They've been long gone in America so people forget and yearn for the days of pristine forests and frolicking wildlife, happily scavenging carcasses and killing each other off to survive.

Thanks for thinking about me up here at the edge of the treeline, bud. Haven’t seen any wolves lately, but this is truly the year of voles and snowshoe hares - the tracks are everywhere. That means a lot of lynx pelts this winter, no doubt, and fox, too. (Those tracks mean we’ve had snow for two weeks already... nice to have bugs anymore... cold and fresh.)

Thanks again.

Hey, I meant NO BUGS anymore. Damn fingers.

Colorado has been getting regular snow for a while.

Two ski areas have opened recently.

The black bears are still entering homes and apartments all over the state. Often one attack per day that sends the resident to the hospital.

[george76]

We climbed mountains and hiked trails all over the state for decades with no problems.

With the recent hunting season eliminations and restrictions plus the forest service ‘vacating’ grazing alloments everywhere...the predator populations have exploded.

Even Canadian wolves released in Yellowstone are showing up in Colorado.

[george76]

We do, but the liberals do not understand the long term results of the family ranchers with free range cattle dying off.

Soon food supply will only be feed lot production.

Thanks for the post, George.

The other day, I picked up where I left off in ‘The Wolves of Alaska’ by Jim Rearden. I recall telling you about this one a while ago, but I haven’t touched it in a while and have been away from FR for too long!

Per your other post, Tim Treadwell probably takes the prize for ‘Biggest idiot in Alaska’.... beating out Chris McCandless!

I visited my brother in upstate NY in '98 and '01....75 miles from NYC....where I grew up. It was once dairy and farmland. Forests, swamps and gravel flats and pastures where once I was paid by farmers to keep the varmints down.

When I was there, I saw fox, chucks and raccoons ( who were particularly pesky since they developed a taste for dog food) in the backyard. Deer were there in the early morning and I was told coyotes had moved into the neighborhood too.

I suppose some of the folks that bought up the land to create suburbia think they're cute but rabies shots have taken a dramatic up tick. House cats disappear and backyard gardens have become impossible to keep.

Martha Steward Living is their ideal and they're in a losing battle with nature's reality.

“I hope that the wolves start eating the granola crunchers. The mountain lions have begun.”

LOL. Maybe the wolves like granola bars and the victims just had some bars in their pockets...

So the lesson is, never keep granola bars in your pockets while in the woods.

[JSteff]

LOL! That picture is just too funny. Is is a real picture or a photoshoped picture?

[JSteff]

“run off by rattlesnakes”

How fast are those things? Like 2, maybe 4 mph?

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I picture that “Rain Forest” South Park episode.

“I think wolves should be “reintroduced” to urban areas first. Like Central Park.”

Or along the Mexican border. Then we might win two ways.

Either the wolves got the illegal crossers or the greenies would press for a life sentence for any crossers who shot at the wolves.

I've always considered that to be total [P]BS.

There, fixed.
