Everybody listen.

Don't hold your breath waiting for your wolf tag in the mail. Believe me on this, I live in a state that has about 4,000 of them and they're not selling licenses yet. They've met the requirements to be removed from the endangered species list when they hit 1,500 animals, but between the Feds and a State Court judge, there is not even talk of a season on them anymore.

The wolves have a very, very strong lobby on their side and they will go to great lengths to preserve them (not harvest a resource at all) rather than conserve (use a resource wisely). There is a big difference.

My hat's off to the first state that sells wolf tags.

It's too bad the reintroduced wolves killed off any native wolves that were in the area. Now, the area really is void of it's original wolf. These big immigrants from Canada were bigger & more aggressive and took care of them.
