i'm sure if ya'll wrote ol' roy a real nice letter he'd send ya some wolfies.
they'd take real quick care of that abundant deer herd you got there.
plus that the wolfies multiply like rabbits and the state of maryland could sell them to other states and make mucho bucks.
if you read the lewis and clark journals and listen closely, there were areas of montana and north dakota where there was no game to eat. now this was sometime before any white settlers explored the area. gee, now how could that be?
at the same time there were plenty of bear and wolf sightings. hummmmm. after the settlers came to the west and killed off most of the wolfies and bears game animals like mule deer, whitetails and elk flourished. again, hummmmmmmmm.
in 2002 there were many sightings of mountain lions here in north dakota. although our astute fish and game department denied it. so guess what happens last year? thats right, f&g decided we needed a season on them.
now what the hell are mountain lions doing in north dakota? the place is as flat as grandmas ironing board and if were not for the curvature of the earth we could see gt. falls, montana from here.
how'd they get here? near as anybody can tell they caught the shuttle flight out of denver headed for minneapolis.
no, they were pushed out of their habitat in wyoming and came through the black hills area. why? supposedly the reintroduction of wolves in wyoming that stole the cats easy pickings. those few wolves they turned loose in yellowstone now number almost 800 according to the last number i read. at reproductive rates like those get ready for a visit by wolves to a neighborhood near you. but they are soooooooo cute and lovable.
