A few good gems buried in here amongst the usual dark side clutter

Well said Sal and Todd!

Carry on Dogfish!

I for one like the idea of sharing the wilderness with wolves, grizzlies, wolverines etc.... and am glad that the concerned parties, mainly the state and wolf huggers are sticking to the states wolf management plan. I still think the WMP should not include any westside packs or a fixed number of packs before opening up a hunting season but should look at impacts on a case by case basis to determine hunting seasons/areas.

As for predator hunting. I'm not a predator hunter but may help a farmer out this winter by culling a few coyotes in hopes of being allowed to hunt geese/chucker on his property. Other then that I don't really plan on hunting predators but do carry a black bear and cougar tag just in case. If the opportunity arises and I feel at that time that it is a good representative of that species and it's not too far from the truck I'll pursue it. Or not. Well see. I did knock an arrow earlier this year and tried to circle around an ~150# black bear but he was sneaky and we never did see him again. If'n I happened to find him at 20 yards broadside I'd probably have taken him. Or not

I will add that I've been munching on bear jerky this year and it's pretty yummy.
