Bayview Herb:
just learned today, that a breeding pair of Wolves was frequently seen in Hidden Valley, which lies north of Hwy 53 and south of Hauser lake, last winter. I guess the next step will be shooting them off porches in a tract. While I realize I am going to enrage a few Sierra club types, the west was won by ranches, both cattle and sheep. They felt it necessary, and so did the federal government to eradicate them because you can’t teadch a wolf to discriminate between wild game and domestic herds of animals.
Question: Are you nervous that wolves are moving closer and closer to North Idaho urban areas?

Yes, it seems that the west was won by killing many things, some of them were even human. Doesn't mean that we should start that practice again.

Yep, probably the same reason they nearly eradicated the bison: cuz they could.

Yes, I am worried about the wolves moving closer and closer, the wolves in “government” that is!

I've no problem with wolves moving in closer. Let them. We need to learn to live with wolves, not the other way around.

I keep waiting for one to pop into the back yard. The coyotes certainly do regularly.
