Skeet, the reintroduction of wolves wasn't a bad idea. The subsequent managing of the wolf population has been bad. Same thing goes for canada geese in Maryland. Yeah, it is great to have them around here and to provide waterfowlers with a great opportunity, but the management has been pretty bad. They should have upped the bag limits years ago. Problem is that the situation has to get pretty bad before people/DNR start figuring it out. Same thing with deer in Maryland. When I first started hunting them, people were appaulled. Now, I hunt near a mountain bike trail and the bikers usually point me to where the deer are when they see me wearing blaze orange. I have heard comments from these bikers such as "Hope you get all of them." Mind you, most of these mountain bike people are the nature loving freaks. Of course, I am a mountain biker myself. Personally, I believe there is room for everybody on this Earth if Man does his/her job to control population growth of himself and the animals. Your moving to Wyoming is part of the problem. My wanting to move further north in Maryland and buy a 5 acre lot is part of the problem. Humans are moving into these rural areas where the wolves and other animals live. There just needs to be better management of all the wildlife.
By the way, congrats on the move out to Wyoming. You should have let me know when you were moving so that we could get together for another clay shooting extravaganza.
What do you have to shoot on your new place? Might have to come over there this winter.
