Hey wolves give you a reason to argue for open carry in your state. A good thing.
AKA: Agenda 21.
There is a reason dangerous predators were hunted and eliminated from populated areas.
Either we remain the apex predator, or we become prey.
Consider the Tueller Drill is based on the need to be able to successfully draw and hit a human target that is within 21 feet based on the reality that said target can kill with a knife BECAUSE A MAN CAN COVER @! FEET IN 1.5 SECONDS.
Those wolves could cover the lesser distance in less time.
Can you successfully place buckshot in both wolves in under 1.5 seconds?
If not, you were taking a potentially lethal risk posed by the wolves hostile behavior and their proximity to you.
A wolf snarling is analogous to an Urban Feral waving a knife at you and threatening to use it on you. In many states, were those wolves Urban Ferals making lethal threats, you could justifiably have used lethal force to prevent what a “reasoned and prudent person” would consider an threat of serious injury or death.
Time for you, IMHO, to talk to a lawyer.
Seems to be a lot of that lately.
“Hey wolves give you a reason to argue for open carry in your state. A good thing.
FLorida has plenty of Urban Ferals to justify our presnet gun laws. While I like Open Carry, I prefer Constitutional Carry.
Having said that, I think Open Carry allows the criminal warning and opens a greater likelihood of ambush by said criminals.
oh no problem- We hillbillies have been dealing with wolves before here up in the high mountains. If you are in a group of at least 5-6 armed people they do not bother you. We have had experience already with a wolf jumping at us from 15 feet and were able to get off a shot from a 44 before came by us. So we are also expert shots here from our youth from 8 years old shooting with rifles. Only second time in memory the wolves have come down to an elevation of under 1000 feet.
Why, yes, of course. All those large windows covered only with heavy wire would be terrific at keeping the snow out.
Or lets put it up to a vote.
Public lands should be used to produce whatever they can, be it beef, timber, minerals, oil, hydroelectric power, whatever.
None of those things prevent you tree huggers from using same for whatever it is you do.
best way to make land productive is to make it not public
“Public lands should be used to produce whatever they can, be it beef, timber, minerals, oil, hydroelectric power, whatever.”
Yup, gotta love that corporate welfare.
I'm sure that if private enterprise was able to buy it instead of lease it, they would.
What we have is not corporate welfare, but statism - which you apparently like.
Do you realize how much land in the western states is controlled by the federal government?
Yup. Too late, though.
never too late
You sure that you are on the right forum?
I live not far from this area, and I can assure you, they’re back. I now hear them across the road from me and my neighbor had two in her yard. I’m starting to get moose in my pasture and my neighbor had 16 elk in his field, so they’re moving down from the mountains. Another thing is the ranchers were supposed to get paid for lost cattle, now fish and game is saying they can’t tell if it’s a coyote or wolf attack, even when the rancher saw them. The wolves around here are Canadian wolves who weigh up to 180 lbs. not the grey wolf who weighs about 65.
Totally inadequate.
You sir don’t know what you’re talking about. Since they stopped hunting cougars with dogs, they have multiplied, going so far as to attack kids waiting for the school bus, in fact, it’s gotten so bad that hunting with dogs is now allowed in parts of the county. No one wants it soft, and it isn’t being soft living in these part, we respect wildlife, but we’re not stupid enough to go into the forest with less than a .44.
Bull, and I know some of these folks personally. My guess is that you're another graduate of the Farley Mowat School of Wild-Lie Biology. That means you have no idea what you are talking about. But there is a way to fix that.
Totally agree. But it’s a start . . .
