While wolves generate passionate polarized responses from people who love or hate them, it’s pretty clear that most people don’t give a damn. Speaking before several service clubs in recent months, I’ve noted the top news stories dominating the Outdoors beat. Wolf reintroduction, of course, continues to be at the head of the list. General audiences tend to know little or nothing about wolf reintroduction. What’s more startling is that many people who seem to care about the subject know little more than the myths perpetuated by hearsay. In one Q&A session, a man said his rancher friend in Montana couldn’t kill a wolf even if he caught it chewing on one of his cows. That’s not true, I told him. Montana ranchers can defend their stock. They can even buy hunting or trapping licenses and kill wolves regardless of whether they’re bothering livestock/Rich Landers, SR. More here. (AP file photo)

Question: Do you care one way or the other about wolves?
