Hate to break it to you guys, pandering to the stinking feds will get us nowhere! The article clearly says that the helicopter crew was from the US, not the state. The USFW has the authority to shoot them. Got a buddy that is a fed gov trapper in Wyoming. He has the authority to kill any wolf he deems a threat. No questions asked.
Our governor needs to do exactly what the governor of Montana did, tell the feds to get bent! He grew a set and said that no one would be prosecuted for killing wolves in his state by the state system. He declared them a detriment to his state and its economy. This makes sense. Wolves have no place here. We as humans have taken up most of the winter range, so our big game animals have no refuge when being hunted all year long by these killers. It is much easier and cheaper to take care of the problem now than it will be to try to "manage" it in the future. Just like phragmites control. If the state would have been very aggressive early on, it wouldn't be such a big problem. Now it is expensive to fight, and is an impossible battle to win.
