Having guided on the edge of Yellowstone and having watched the decline of the elk herds and the complete obliteration of the moose and sheep herds, I can't say that I would agree with what this video portrays. Yes, wolves are an incredible animal. I enjoyed watching the native wolves before the new species of Canadian gray wolves were introduced and have to a point, enjoyed watching this new wolf. I am sure that on the Flying D Ranch, they can accept the "balance" of nature that they create.
However, when it comes to where the rest of society wants to venture and where we have been balancing "Mother Nature" and the animal populations with biological solutions that include hunting opportunities for the masses, without strict control over an incredible predator like the wolf, those of us that can't afford to buy a Flying D property and be able to decide that because of sagging numbers, we won't hunt this year, those of us "average Jacks and Jills" will be shut off from the opportunity and thrill of being able to feed ourselves and our families with some of the bounty of Mother Nature.
Is it awesome to see a wolf? Absolutely.
Is having wolves around the end of hunting? No BUT hunting will be less and less of a management tool and definitely only for the wealthy.
If and since we have these new Canadian wolves here among us, we now have to get to the point of balancing this new animal with the current (past and future) uses and management of wildlife and that's where we get into the Ford vs: GM debate. Unfortunately those of us on the hunting as the best management and use of a natural resource team..... don't have deep enough pockets.
