Gardner MT special hunt licences DOWN !!!!!

[hnter]

Rocky Mountain News 02/19/06

Licences given out down over 80% in 10 years.
The world famous Gardner MT so called "fireingline" hunt is but a shadow of it's former glory. It is, according to the MT G&F in danger of disappearing within the next few years as the elk herd has decreased from a high of over 12,000 to under 4,000 in the last 10 years.

The herd decrease is attibuted to the re-introduction* (?) of Canadian Grey wolves* and a huge increase of bears within the Yellowstone eaco-system by Montana's Game & Fish agency.


WHAT HAVE I BEEN TELLING YA? BETTER YET, WHAT LIES HAVE THE GREENIES actually in control of the USPS, USFWS & USFS BEEN TELLIN YA?

* How do you "Re-introduce" (ie: Grey wolves), a species that wasn't ever there in the 1st place !!!! :confused: :mad:

There is nothing surprising about this at all. Many people state side tried to tell them and many of us Canadians.....where the US came to get the wolves to transplant........tried to tell them it was not a bright idea.

The park, which is federal, probably achieved what they wanted actually, but the state and the sportsmen are the loosers as usual. Less elk to hunt for the sportsmen and less licence revenue for the state..........the only side benefit would be less winter depredation problems for local landowners.

The last time I hunted in the Gardiner area, I saw one 6x6 Elk and 11 wolves. This was in broad daylight, along the Lamar river. We were visiting the Park, not hunting that day. Elk and Deer numbers have become a shell of what they once were. We used to see lots of game, now it's a shame. I have no desire to go there to hunt anymore. grayghost

I chose "they lied".

Also another hunter w/dogs (had treed two bear during training season lost at least one dog to wolves.

He tried to pull the dog aware from the wolf but the wolf "seemed to have gone for him" he let go of the dog which went after the wolf. He then booked it big time 300 yds to the truck.

BTW, that was his last hunt, he said. Not feeding any more of his hand raised dogs to wolves.

Article was in this morning's paper. It happened in north Idaho.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Also, there have been charges by those who should know, that elk on the Jackson Hole refuge were starved intentionally, this past winter. (also in local paper)

How about that! Less elk there, wolves will obey the pressure and move to wider area. Fewer elk, wider area and on and on and on.........

Hey guys; please keep us "east of the ol' Mississippi posted on this issue. It's serious and we can't depend on the "official word" for nothing anymore. This wolf business was a joke played on the hard working rancher and now it's a fiasco. I say let's have a wolf hunt. Tags alone would bring the tax grabbing blood suckers plenty of $$$ and help the guides stay in business. I'm all about that! grayghost

a.k.a. the "grey" wolf.


This non-Rocky Mountain wolf is not native to the lower 48 states!



And the goddamn Clintonistas (shazaam! Bubba!), shoved the reintroduction of the wolf down the throats of Western Americans who depend on making their living 'close to the land,' whether as farmers and ranchers, or big game guides, etc.

Wish we could round up a couple hundred wolves and release them in Central Park, New York, Connetticutt and Massachussetts!

How wopuld thoise goddamn do-gooder yankee easterers like lkiving with their cutsie animals!!?

Yup. The Canadians and Alaskans said "Don't do it!"

And they were 100% correct!


I recently called and talked to Elk Inc., located in Gardner Montana - looking for some Gordon Eastman movies.

Gal said that the elk herds that used to average around 24 to 28 thousand animals in the Gardner area and migration corridors, is less than a third or fourth as plentiful as it once was.

I hate hate the f**king wolf and everyone who supports the effort to use its introduction to rape the West.

Shoot, shovel and shut up. And to hell with "the wolf!"






Next time I'll tell everyone how I really feel. :rolleyes: :D

Prior to Bubba Klinton;s quislings and administration plundering the National Park system and American interior, there were rumors that isolated "rocky mountain" or western wolves sometimes still existed ....... As reported by gubmnt hunters, ranchers and other folks who'd know.

Also .......


Canadian Grey Wolf is not the same animal as the Rocky Mountain wolves!


The f**king Klintonista's and other liberals introduced a species that kills EVERYTHING it doesn't like! Inlcuding your family cat or dog or bear hound, your livestock, the indigenous foxes, coyotes, cougars, bobcats and other wolves!.




What does this all mean? If the Rocky Mountain wolf in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana (in the greater Yellowsrtone regions) wasn't totally extint before,


THEY ARE NOW!!!






**This is not speculation on my part.


I'm stating things I have read on the Internet, posted by folks from the Western states - namely Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
