very intresting read dave, i have done a ton of reading on wolves and have never read any where, wheer they like to eat fish, they must not like the types of salmon and trout we have in the upper, they are comeing in are yards to eat are pets off there chains, my neighbor had over 100 sheep killed by wolves last year and expects to have at least that many killed this yearfrom 1920 to the early 70's befor the bounty was removed from the wolves, the wolves had nothing to eat till after the clear cutting, the old growth timber didnt offer the habitat needed for large herds of deer and moose, are moose herd was all but gone, but they did rebound with some help after the wolves where removed, now that the wolves are back in big numbers, the moose again are dissapearing.
my self I could care less if the wolves ate all the deer moose and what every other wild animals there is, its when they come in my yard just to eat my dog, i say thats the line, I would never harm a protected grey wolf, but should it enter my lawn area of my property, it will not live long should I see it.
A wolf like unlike other wild peditory animals will not run from you, like a bear or coyote etc. a wolf will follow you, they have know fear of you, this behavior is prolly not historicly correct, but do to the large amount of habitated land they have lost the fear of human.
Ive been to the state wolf meetings and its not long till we do have some type of lottery system for harvest tags for the grey wolf, the dnr is saying they do need to be controlled by lethal means, but its up to the fedral goverment to delist them.
the feelings of the people that are liveing with in the high wolf population areas, are of are grand fathers, kill them all, offer bountys, some say the state could make good money selling hunting licences for them and the way I see the feelings of those who dont have to live with the carnage of the modern grey wolf, it makes me sick to talk to one who could love a modern grey wolf, are ecosystem did so well for so long with out wolves, that it will never be able to adapt to the modern wolf.
the wolf no longer hunts or breeds as its ansestors they roam free and breed free, they no longer hunt in packs and there is no longer alfa males and females, they all just breed, its the reason for the population explosion.
well any how davetclown, I am going to spend a lot of time this year on the rivers where the salmon run in heavly wolf populated ares and see if I can get some pictures of wolves feeding on salmon, that was very intresting to hear, I will be asking around and see where the best times of day/night for viewing wolves feeding on fish, if you have any more info on this please give me the links to where i can study up on it, have a great day Y'all.
