I just can’t understand someone that could shoot an animal from an aircraft. To me, it’s very distasteful and shows no respect for the animal.

Have you even been to Alaska?? Outside of the metropolitan areas, that is? If so, you wouldn't make such a totally dumb a$$, bleeding heart, PETA statement.

Maybe you don't understand that there is a higher small aircraft ownership per capita in Alaska than anywhere is else in the US. Because you can't even get there in all terrain vehicles!! You don't just get in your SUV and drive down the interstate to go wolf hunting, with your fancy Cabella's camo suit and hunters vest. In fact, you don't do that just about anywhere to go wolf hunting.

Talk about stupid, dumb$hit statements. Do some research besides reading PETA and Sierra Club press releases.

And if you actually did have some knowledge about the situation, you would know that it is not "sport" hunting that Alaska is doing. This is rather serious conservation measures to insure that the elk, moose and caribou herds aren't decimated by the over abundance of the wolf as predator.

Sheesh, whadda maroon!

Yes. I am a hunter from way back, and a carnivore.

I realise it is culling/animal control, not hunting. I don’t see why organised hunts cannot be conducted via aircraft to those locations, and expeditions sent out from a centralised landing zone.

If we do not want to continually hear from these anti-hunting/gun types, something must be done. Otherwise, I’m betting we will see the end of the wolf-control programs, completely.

Thank you for your most polite comments.
