I’m not complaining. I think he’s an idiot and don’t want to be associated with hunters who behave like that.I mean, they wrote him a ticket so what's there to complain about then?

I don't disagree, but do we know his intent? Did he accidentally run it over with the snow machine and haul it back to the bar to ask people what the heck is he supposed to do with it? I've probably missed an article somewhere that lays it out, so asking honestly. Intent is absolutely important.It all boils down to intent. There are some sick psycho’s that get a kick out of injuring animals intentionally, but that to me isn’t the same as a guy who accidentally makes a bad shot or accidentally hit an elk and is trying to handle it quickly and legally.
Come on, in reality if he did all that “accidentally” or out of ignorance then that guy has some bigger problems than that citation ha!I don't disagree, but do we know his intent?

And some hunters on this forum and similar other forums thought it immoral when a Minnesota dentist shot an African lion, when a potential ODFW game commissioner killed a giraffe, when an IDFG commissioner shot baboons.You know what they say: I can’t define what it is but I know it when I see it.
We don't know his age or abilities, maybe he borrowed somebody's gun, etc. I could see a young man out riding, hits a wolf that's still alive and he's unsure what do do with it. That's not the point though, point is as far as I can tell we're all assuming all sorts of things without a whole lot of information. Both articles linked seem to heavily lean into how terrible things are without actually telling us what happened.Come on, in reality if he did all that “accidentally” or out of ignorance then that guy has some bigger problems than that citation ha!
What’s your alibi for the night this all went down?

No. Not at all.This is more like hitting an Elk with your vehicle, then allowing it to lay there while you call wildlife/gw to approve shooting it, no?
If you think all that legal hunting in Africa is the same as this guy hitting a wolf, taping its mouth, hanging out with it for a few hours and then taking it to a local bar to show it off and shoot it then I can’t help you.And some hunters on this forum and similar other forums thought it immoral when a Minnesota dentist shot an African lion, when a potential ODFW game commissioner killed a giraffe, when an IDFG commissioner shot baboons.
We all like killing animals, but we have no moral authority on it.
This is definitely also woke outrage, just dressed in camo. We're talking about a f%#*&#@ wolf, lol.If you think all that legal hunting in Africa is the same as this guy hitting a wolf, taping its mouth, hanging out with it for a few hours and then taking it to a local bar to show it off and shoot it then I can’t help you.
I appreciate you playing devils advocate but there’s a difference between woke outrage and grounded respect.
I don’t know about you but watching a buck heave and moan as blood pours out his chest, or listening to a bear wail with an arrow through its body isn’t my favorite part of hunting, nor is it necessarily a part I “like”. It’s a genuine part of the process so I appreciate and accept it, but I don’t like it. Maybe I’m just a big softie, so be it.We all like killing animals, but we have no moral authority on it.
It’s been said above, but it doesn’t matter what animal it is, have some respect. They aren’t play things, if you’re going to kill it kill it as fast and smoothly as you can, if you’re not going to kill it then don’t mess with it.This is definitely also woke outrage, just dressed in camo. We're talking about a f%#*&#@ wolf, lol.
Lol busted! Wasn't my intent to paint it innocently, just trying to point out that since the linked articles didn't lay it out we're all just making assumptions and then basing arguments on the assumptions which is never a great idea.What’s your alibi for the night this all went down? Haha!
You’re putting an awful lot of work in to paint this as an understandable mistake. The guy screwed up and maybe he has some issues who knows, let a spade be a spade.
Haha knew it! That’s fair, I agree. We all know the saying about assumptionsLol busted!

Well, my hunting hero as a youngster was Peter Hathaway Capstick. Still is, really. And way before woke, he seemed to opine that what makes Africa worthwhile is that things there try to eat you.This is definitely also woke outrage, just dressed in camo. We're talking about a f%#*&#@ wolf, lol.
It's a Game and Fish charge. It's what they had that fit. Animal cruelty is a state charge that Wyoming Game and Fish likely won't get into. The county sheriff's office would have to cite for that.Charged with "Possession of a live wolf".
I've heard of people being charged with "possession of" a lot of things. This is a first.
Yep. I wonder if "some" animals are exempted from this "live" regulation? Like fish? Live holds on a boat are now banned.....LOL.Charged with "Possession of a live wolf".
