Those guys AND their adult kids are all using crossbows during bow season now
Wolf introduction began in the mid nineties, and how many boomers do you think were for it? Does this fathead look like a Boomer? Try looking at current events.

In the mid 90’s it would have been all boomers . Gen x was just 15 then so millennials were even younger. So to get the math to math boomers are the ones who got us the wolves . That guy you posted was still riding bikes when the wolf thing started or he has found the fountain of youthWolf introduction began in the mid nineties, and how many boomers do you think were for it?

Gen X is 1965-80 so the youngest gen X would have been 15.
I can say that I don’t have it. Too caught up trying to understand how you went from past tense to present tense and think everyone else are the stupid ones.
Interesting that you feel I brought up past tense? Someone else mentioned 1995. At that time wolves were a non issue. Now they chase the elk onto private property making them pretty much inaccessible. Present tense is the important tense. Each wolf eats 16-22 elk a year.

You asked how many boomers were for it. Were is past tense. I don’t feel like you brought past tense…you continued the past tense by using were.Interesting that you feel I brought up past tense?

How many elk do Yellowstone wolves eat? - WyoFile
Yellowstone National Park biologist Doug Smith’s research suggests wolves take thousands of elk each year.
You are missing the point. It is the younger generations that fought delisting and are fighting to keep as many wolves out there as possible. This is current tense. The main Biologist, a guy tasked with the reintroduction Doug Smith was a boomer and also a Clinton voter. You oddballs seem to think (ha ha) that Boomers are all alike. I can say that is more true of Gen Z than any other generation. Lazy and NOTHING is their fault.
This is where "past tense" started.
Yep that’s me but I was 16.
The numbers bear your comment out.My family started hunting out of state in the middle 1950’s. We are still making the pilgrimage every year, same place on national forest. Everyone in camp talks about how there’s less hunters than when they started going, from my Grandfather who started the tradition, to my dad and his brother and friends who started going in the 70’s, I even remember more camps when I started going in 2001.
The forest service road we camp on used to have a camp in every pullout and some of them were big camps with 8-10 guys when I was a kid. Now there’s usually 3-4 camps with no more than 2-3 guys each on average.
Dad says the opener used to sound like a gun battle and they’d see a dozen or more guys out walking throughout the day. I remember truckloads of Texans and Californians cruising the roads, the Cali guys would always ask if I’d seen any elk close to the roads.
In the 80’s they talk about seeing 200 does in a day and few or no bucks, a forkie was in mortal danger. Back in the 50’s and 60’s they’d kill 15-20 bucks in our camp when the limit was 3.
Now the roads I remember seeing the guys sneaking down in pickups and jeeps are closed. Deer haven’t been OtC in a long time and take 3 points to draw now, but you can kill a nice representative 3 or 4 point buck or at least have an opportunity if you put a little effort in. And we generally kill elk most years, usually back in the nasty places but it’s always been that way. And most guys still don’t like to hike way back off the road.
I talk to guys around home who used to go back 20-30 years ago and they all say they miss it but between fuel and tags and the cost of living they can’t make the trip like they used to. Younger guys who want to go but either won’t on their own or say they can’t afford it. When my dad worked civil service on our local military base when I was little there were several groups of a dozen or more guys who would take vacation time together and go west to make a big camp and hunt. I know there were two camps that took all the available leave for 2nd season and another for 3rd, none of them go anymore.
All that to say that I suppose things have never stopped changing and they probably won’t. We sure miss 1 or 0 point deer tags and we’re thankful for OTC bull tags as long as they last. If it weren’t for the internet and available data I don’t think that we’d think there was more demand. And no I won’t say where our spot is at.

That post was talking about what happened back in the nineties. You quoted it and asked how many boomers were for it. That would be a continuation of past tense. Then Kurt responded, also talking about the 90s. You responded back to him and jumped to present.
