Ya, they have names. They're called pests. Just like the rabbits and squirrels that were around my house were called.

CO's made the news a lot lately, and not for anything good...

All just another way to get the next generation to be emotionally attached to a killing machine

Those are some weak azz names...

When a wolf kills an elk calf, be sure and give the calf a name. “Look Sadie, River just ripped the hamstring out of Mr. Fumbles and left him to lay there and die.”

Im im Casper now waiting out the storm/ wind to go chase some geese. Sitting here drinking coffee and shaking my head at two things.

1) I just wasted 30 min reading that other wolf thread that got started by some newb who is from DC.
2) Why am I not moving to Wyoming or Alaska? I fear the state I love and live in is going to hell real quick.

Ugh...disappointing does not even begin to explain how I feel.

Look forward to seeing this site all over the winter range. Colorado needs better names, like “add more wind” or “come down 1 mil.”

Makes for a real juicy story when a named wolf crosses into WY and gets smoke checked at the door.

You open a whole bunch of issues when you anthropomorphize animals in general, and it becomes particularly acute when you do so with predators like wolves, cougars, hawks, etc., etc., etc. Needless to say, it adds a potentially overly emotional element that can complicate scientifically based wildlife management practices. Nature is cruel. Predator and prey balance is essential to a healthy ecosystem. Political ideologies getting in the way usually don`t benefit anything in nature.

Exactly why they name those wolves. They’re not interested in scientific based wildlife management. They’re interested in an agenda. Those of us who live near YNP have already seen this cycle. Many people fell for it then. Many have had their eyes opened since. Wait until a named wolf crosses into WY and gets shot. There will be people literally bawling on national TV. Want to stoke emotions and get the city slickers to sign your anti hunting petition? What better way…

"So, you're telling us you gave the wolves French names?"
"Yah, that one over there. Its name is spelled T-A-R-G-E-T"
"You mean, TARGET???"
"No, Tar-Jay. It's French...."

Did they name one of them 'Winston'?

You all are going to trigger all the whitetail hunters that name every buck that happens to walk past a trail cam.

If I could tolerate the cold even a little bit, we would have moved to WY years ago. I was back to strongly considering it even recently, and then this cold spell came in and brought me back to reality. There is no way I can spend the entire winter indoors. It's either that, or be a snow bird every winter. But can I keep WY residency if I'm only living there part year?

 

[cnelk]

A person can live in Wyo 181 days (after becoming a resident) and still be a resident

Of coarse they do, it elevates their status in the minds of these dumb asses ..........
