The pictures you will see below are all taken in the Lolo Elk Management Zone 10 and 12. All that is except for 6 x 8 bull elk, which was taken 30 miles outside Libby, Montana in the Winter of 2008. I added it just to show that the wolves are also attacking and killing healthy adult bull elk for fun, and not for food. All these photos and and more were given to the Idaho Fish and Game officials (IFG) who refused to act upon the problem. You can bet that this problem is happening in every state that the government has released wolves into.
Like every other government bureaucracy, whether it be state or federal, the IFG has been infiltrated and taken over by leftist radicals who's aim is to ultimately stop hunting all together. These photos prove how bad the problem is in what was considered one of America's most prime elk hunting areas. Had the IFG been doing their job then they would have seen what these sportsmen saw in Lolo zone 10 & 12, the carnage was everywhere in plain site. One cannot help but ask how many hundreds of such carcasses are strewn about in the other elk management zones of Idaho. My guess is that hundreds more elk are being slaughtered in all the management areas of Idaho, they're just not being monitored by those who are paid to do so.
The IFG also claims that there are only about 1000 wolves in all of Idaho, but if they do not know about the carcasses laying about in plain site, how can they then claim.....

Gotta love the gentle mother nature news. mother nature is the religion of the left btw.
Ever wonder if wolves really do only kill the weak and small for food? Well now I have

it is nature’s control of population. I remember in my biology class the teacher talked about it. I can’t recall the term for it though..
Nature does not do this. They let loose Canadian grays into areas that have been properly managed by hunters and the wolves are destroying the elk herds. Read the article before spouting off about whats normal.
It is easy to see why ranchers one hundred years ago waged a war of extermination against wolves.
Seems like Washington D.C. would be a great place to loose a few breeding pairs. Lots of sheep, no one would miss a few, hell they could even eat one now and then!
“I cant recall the term for it though..”
Decimation? The wolves are wiping out herds. In some areas the number of calves is down approximately 80%.
Exactly. The only cute wolf is a dead wolf.
I agree. It is like those pythons in the ever glades. they are not native to the area and are killing off animals left and right.
>>I cant recall the term for it though..
Stupidity.... introduced by “environ”mentalists.
my apologies I did not read the whole article.
This is interesting, and not a subject that has captured any prior interest from me. My knowledge of wolves’ behavior comes from popular culture. It seems very odd for a predator to kill a non-competitive species without eating it. I could see a wolf killing another predator horning in on his territory, for example.
I wouldn’t put it past them to do it anyway.
Bald eagles also kill for fun.
I’m cool. But now you understand the dire situation. And it’s coming to a neighborhood near you..
Maybe the Elks diss’ed the wolves man ... Wolves are cool, leave them alone, they need to be in the eco system.
First, Hunters need not apply. This is not a wolf behavior program If the progressives can get the wolf to control the population of game species, there will be no need for hunters or their nasty guns.
Second, just because wolves take some “healthy animals” doesn’t necessarily cause a problem. Hunters aren’t known for taking the weak, lame, sick and injured. Many are hung up on rack size.
As a long time hunter, hunter educator and honest conservationist, I see wolves as nothing more than one more species, but you do need to understand that their introduction has nothing to do with their behavior. It’s a means to eliminate cattle ranching and hunting.
