Man Claims He Ran Over Wolves

Montana, Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials say they are investigating a Missoula man's anti-wolf claim that he purposefully ran down a pair of wolves near the Idaho-Montana border. Toby Bridges posted on Facebook last week, bragging that he killed two wolves in his wife's van. Capt. Joseph Jaquith said he is trying to determine if the Montana's wildlife law enforcement can do anything since Bridges used social media and he doesn't have any physical evidence. Bridges did not respond to an email seeking comment. "It's very unsporting, regardless of how you feel about wolves or lawful means for harvest of wolves, certainly running them down on the highway is not what we would accept," Jaquith said. Jaquith added that it is illegal to intentionally run over animals in a vehicle in Montana/Associated Press. More here.

Question: This guy is not only unsportsmanlike. But he isn't very bright either (using social media to brag about his actions). Thoughts?
