Perhaps we can convince MSNBC to move their broadcasting headquarters to Yellowstone...

Excellent video. That bull did a heckuva job for having an injured hoof or leg.
No sh*t, Sherlock. Wolves hunt elk. Anyone that follows Isle Royale knows that.
2 winters back in my GMU, they had a secret emergency meeting over wolves. Palin found the funding for a week of heli time. They got 88 wolves in 3 days before the greenies caught wind of it and got an injunction, ha ha; too cool. By then the had got the dumb ones that had never been shot at before and needed new snow anyway. Bottom line, Palin once again did the right thing.
You watch, before long they'll be cutting back on elk hunting down there to feed the wolves.
I had wolves in my garbage cans about 2 months back at 3 am, nuts. The tracks were 5 1/2 inches long and single lope prints were close to 5 foot apart. They came in 2 different nights. I set up my game camera and moved junk around; taped a flashlight to the AR with acog and then they never came back. We had thrown some old salmon from freezer in the one can and that's what attracted them in. First time I have ever had wolves walking around nx to my shed.
We see falling deer and elk populations as the predator animal kill the young deer and elk in the spring time.
We had a spring bear hunting season until the liberal invasions. Bear numbers up as baby deer are killed off.
Wolves and bears have listened too much Rush Limbaugh’s radio and become unexpectedly violent. Rush’s fault!/sarc
Interesting video. We were there this past summer and loved it but were astonished at the devastation from the fires.
I don’t see one note on any study that might suggest that the Elk Population was unnaturally high in 1995 and that the natural predation is a return of the ecosystem to it’s more natural state.
Funny, the size and health of the game species population always is the final control on the predator population. BTW since these predators don’t know where the park boundary ends, predation on “other abundant species” outside the park will be the next natural occurrence.
One other note, look up the population changes in browsing animals that occurred following the Yellowstone Fire.
Wonder if Remington still make those .223 sabot rounds for .308 and 30.06 rifles....
Next , the wolf packs kill livestock, then the family ranchers.

Very good and informative video, George.

Very good video, C_O, didn’t realize you posted it before George.
Getting humans off the land is the real motive behind the reintroduction of wolves and other "native" species. The eco-communists want humans cooped up in high-rise row-houses in cities. It's a project involving many groups and organizations but at the center of it all is the Nature Conservancy.
It claims to deal in real science but trumpets the discredited notion of man-made "global warming/climate change" as the main reason for its actions. Have a look at its current initiatives:
Not discounting wolves and bear population effects on Elk Population. I was in Montana for work a few years ago and remember seeing articles about a disease that was hitting elk and deer populations.
Eventually you’ll even see the wolf population die off too, or you’ll see them spread out across a much larger region in search of food. Some of that food will undoubtedly be cows and other domestic animals.
Over time this will be a teachable lesson about what happens when you let the greenies go postal unchecked.
“This is just distracting us. We need to stop man-made global warming today!”
That second bull wanted no part of him...
I've seen whitetails and turkey's do the same...it's fun to watch.
Take care,
Smildons would work just as well and are more likely given their DNA is available... especially on slow moving pink things on wheels wearing stinky spandex.
That was a Carry_Okie video.
I borrowed it.
I missed the wolf season in Idaho due to work obligations in San Diego. The state issued around 1,000 permits. I think the end result was around 200 wolves taken. Evenly distributed around the state. Certainly not shooting fish in a barrel.
