out to wipe another species off the face of the world???? I don't get it!!!

why did you wanna destroy this species you are destroing the wild life.

Since when is it acceptable to kill a majestic animal just because its not endangered. The wolf is the predecessor of the dog, man;s best friend.
You going to hunt dogs tomorrow?
Sick,sick,sick.

Grow up . I do not hunt , I don't care if anyone does . I eat animals , wear leather , kill and eat marine life , etc . I am not " sick " .
They are not " being wiped out " .
Did you even bother to read the story or bother getting any education about it before commenting ?

Finally!! This is the best thing the that's happened to the wolves in a long time.

Why would anybody want to hunt wolves? There's absolutely no reason to do it. It's not like they're hunting for for food or something. This is just a bunch of sadists looking to satisfy their sick impulse to hurt other creatures.

This is terrible! Hunting wolves is unecessary and SICK. We should be trying to solve problems that humans have created and make not up stuff just because we are ashamed of what we have done to the world.

that is dumb it sick

Last month, a small pack of wolves in southwestern Montana killed 120 sheep in a single incident - one of the largest such attacks to date.

Franz i think you need to grow up.

Respect other peoples opinions.

What a childish statement to write that its the best thing that happeneds to the wolfs.
God help any pets in your home.

I feel sorry for the pain they will go through, anyone with feelings would.

I think this not right at all! I just don't get these people are thinking! you konw these hunters are going to over do it and the wolves are going to go back to being in danger again! Wake up!

This is ridiculous,what have they done? We have taken over their territory,we, humans are destroing the wild life.Hunting? Make it fair: no rifle o special weapon.

Another idiot judge probably taken care of by the NRA. Humans are so stupid.

Hellow,I have lived in three different States. I have never had any trouble with the wolves. A dog may try to follow the pack. Usually the dog is lost and lucky if found before being hit by a car.

Its to Bad so many of you are so uneducated. Where do you think the money came from to bring the wolves back and reintroduce them to their native territory; It Came from Hunters and sportsman. Not a single "animal rights group" gives money to government fish and wildlife organisations that do all the hard work to conserve and maintain these animals. Hunters and sportsman are the ones who provide the funds necessary through the sale of Hunting and fishing licenses. We as hunters don't want to "kill off" all the animals quite the opposite we want them to be around so our kids and their kids can enjoy them; and that will only happen through conservation. Look up how many Millions of acres have been established by hunters for wildlife. A simple Google search will show you this.

It takes a man suffering from gross insecurity, to desire to shoot an animal, just for the sake of killing. I understand hunting, in order to eat an animal, but this is a classic example of small dick syndrome.

Small dick huh have you ever seen what a wolf does to an animal when it takes it down? Now that is animal cruelty the animal is still alive when the wolves start eating it.

This occurs in nearly every facet of predatory life, from mammals and insects, to marine animals.It is how the food chain functions, with or without humans. I suggest you open a book more often.

So the fact that humans kill an animal almost instantly isn't part of the food chain?

It's disgusting, sick an cruel. Just to kill a fine creature because it follows its instinct and hunts for survival. It's a majestic creature and the predecessor of our dog!! What will follow after the kull of Whales, dolphins, elephants and many more. Humans are shameless creatures who think they own this planet for their single use. Get real we are not the only ones

The last time that I checked, wolves weren't part of our food chain. That is what we are discussing here. People kill them for no reason, other than insecurity. It makes them feel more like a man to shoot a helpless animal from long distance, with a high powered rifle.

YOU all so called hunters are big wimps. "Oh" the wolves are eating all our elk and deer. NATURE takes care of itself morons. Leave them the puck alone. YOU are the ones that ALWAYS screw things UP! Will you ever learn. NO! WIMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The indians are the only ones that took care of this planet. I wish they were ALL here to kick your butts back to reality.

And we think a judge is a fair and a wise person..... sad.

What? many saying that people killing wolves is part of the food chain? jesus, what a chunk of ignorant people! Food chain is call food chain, because what you hunt will become your food, or you can become food. They'll kill the wolves just to feel they're cool with a wolf head on the wall. Sick people! I hope all the bad they're doing now comes back to them in a very horrible way!

sounds just like an idiot environmentalist attitude that is influenced by stupidity. Oh yes , lets hug a tree, a homo and a wolf but lets legalize the killing of humans babies in the mothers womb. reprobate minds given over to believe their own lies; when somebody pursues lies in their life, pretty soon they lose touch with reality and start beliveing their own lies. sad

Wolves are sacred, why would anyone want to hunt them....this is awful.

Its is quite amazing to read some of the ignorant comments. Ben has it down. Hunters are the only conservationists. Without us hunters, people, you wouldnt see a deer, elk, or even a wolf. Its my money and my fellow hunters money that conserves these species, not the terrorist groups that we call animal rights groups. Everyone kills something everyday. If you drive a car, you kill bugs on the window. If you eat plants, you are killing something that lives. Just because I and other hunters have the courage, tenasity and heart to feed ourselves while still conserving and YES get a "HEAD FOR OUR WALL", doesnt mean you are in anyway correct. I get off my butt and do my part for wildlife. Do you? We as humans have drastically changed the ecosystem of the world. Not hunters, HUMANS. Now it is our part to conserve what is left. Hunting is the only way to do that. If you dont belive me, google caraying capacity. Please just do your part to get EDUCATED on something before making comments that only hurt your cause.

oh, yes lets worship the sacred wolf..... get a life

oh, yes lets worship the sacred wolf..... get a life

oh, yes lets worship the sacred wolf..... get a life

the wolves in this area aren't even native to this area, they're a hybrid that was placed in our region by the federal government and they're sick animals. they are destroying the elk population by killing the calves of the herds. the worst part about it is they don't eat any of the meat of the animal, just the intestines and leave the rest of the carcass. get your facts straight before saying a wolf hunt is a just a way to feel powerful or just to put one on the wall. by eliminating some of the wolves we conserve the rest of the big game species.

For those of you who don't do the research or live in the areas that have been taken over by wolves you should go to www.saveelk.com and see for yourself what pack mentality can do to game heards. And where has the money come from to help remove the wolves? It comes from Hunters tags and NOT from enviro groups. Don't believe me look at the Pittman-Robertson Act that taxes firearms and ammunition that goes right back to conservation. Do the research before you post and investigate for yourself to learn the facts

If you would save the wolf bring them to your state parks and public lands. No seriously,people in Montana,Idaho, Wyoming would like you to lobby your legislature to place them in or near your living space.The Feds brought them into the Bozeman Montana airport under Armed guard by 2 U.S. Marshalls (m-16) at 3 A.M. can't say what they where expecting but probably would have arrested me if I had asked.These critters a overunning Alaska If you have watched them kill you would think twice about reintroduceing them to the lower 48. first they kill the coyotes and fox because they are competition. Then any farm dog or cat, then they started on the deer, elk, buffalo, and moose. Like a pack of bloody buzzsaws they scour the country side. They are not like little puppies all warm and cuddly

Just know this we human took away wolves right to live in their nature home. And now We get to kill them again? No way I'm not buying it.

CANNOT ACCEPT THIS ILLOGICAL CONCEPT IN SHOOTING THESE MAJESTIC ANIMALS - WHETHER DUE TO OVERALL EXISTENCE, WHETHER IN MULTIPLE NUMBERS OR INSECURITY, THIS IS NOT A REASON TO GET RID OF THEM - THERE ARE LOTS OF HUMANS WHO ARE WORTHLESS EVEN TO BREATH THE AIR IE: CRIMINALS, CHEATS, RAPISTS, CHARLATANS, YOU NAME IT; SHOULD THEY BE SHOT? (MY PERSONAL OPINION, THEY OUGHT TO BE ERRADICATED & NOT THE ANIMALS) - YOU HUMANS KEEP FORGETTING THAT "GOD" HAS CREATED NATURE + ANIMALS 1ST THEN HUMANS (THAT SHOULD NOT HAD TO OCCUR; HUGE IRREVOCABLE MISTAKE)- IF HUMANITY HAD THE GREY MATERIAL INSIDE THEIR SKULL (WHICH I BELIEVE DOES NOT EXIST IN MOST {PITY}) SHOULD REALIZE THAT DESTRUCTION OF THE PLANET + THE OZONE'S UNSTABILITY ARE TO BE PUT ON HUMANITY'S SHOULDERS ... NOT THE ANIMALS - I HONESTLY DO NOT GIVE THE BLOODY DAMN WHICH JUDGE MAKES SUCH DECISION AS SHOOTING/ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN ANIMALS; FEW YEARS AGO, IT WAS THE BEARS; NOW IT'S THE WOLVES; THEY'RE NOT THE "SUPREME BEING"; THEY SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON MORE JUDICIARY MATTERS THAN SUCH AS THIS; AND THEN THE FACT IS, THERE IS "NO LAW" - ANIMALS LIVE BY THEIR CODE OF HONORS; NOW THE QUESTION IS ... DO YOU? I PRAY EACH BULLET TO KILL A WOLF, IT SHALL RICOCHET AGAINST A TREE TRUNK, THEN HIT BACK ITS OWN SHOOTER - THE WAY YOU HUMANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET, SO ARE EVERY EACH & SINGLE ANIMAL, IF NOT MORE ...

ricochet against a tree trunk ??? you ARE a brilliant one.

One thing we all have to relize is that these animals have been here alot longer than we have. We are the ones that came into thier territory and started biulding and tearing down thier homes. And now we are upset because they come onto our so called land that we own and kiil our livestock for food, what the hell do you expect them to do when we invaded them and took thier homes away form them. The native americans learned to live in piece and harmony with these sane animals we are now trying to hunt for really no reason other than that they are eating our livestock. We all need to get together and figure out a way to save our nature. How about if we stop tearing down all the forests to build shopping malls that will eventualy go bankrupt anyway. Wolves became endangered for a reason, We endangered them. why dont we ask ourselves why, i personally think it was because we are greedy and have to destroy everything to make a buck.

Please have someone read this report that can actually read and not mumble!!!

watchout for that bug OH NO IT HIT THE WINSHIELD lets have a funeral.... sad

idiot hunters ...

It is beyond me how someone can kill a deffensless animal why don't you dumb hunters hunt youreselfs that way you can realy call youself a hunter with a equal that shoots back.Killing a defensless animal is not hunting its killing they should be called as such killers.

yes it is beyond you

Idahoans are getting rid of the wolves one way or another legal or not. In our area the problem is being taken care of by many

Send the so called hunters to afganistan to hunt the taliban then they can be called hunters not shooting a defensless animal go to a sycologist get youresefs checked out something is missing up their I hope you all get to be wolves in you're next life probably will, what goes around comes around people they will get theirs.

The money we spend on amo goes to conserve the wolves what moronic thinking, prity soon their will be nothing left to conserve with people like you guys that have nothing better to do with their lives but to kill a poor animal, PS sign up to the army I hear they need hunters thats if you got the you know what to go.

Hunting and trapping doesn't have near the affect on the population as habitat does. It's hunters on the ground providing the habitat that allows them to florish. By providing an opportunity to hunt them it keeps the population in check and brings money into the community to allow the habitat to be in place. Get a clue.

How can a judge decide to allow sick, gun toting, egotistical hunters that get off on murdering a creature that our creator put on this earth to live just like any other life form on this planet. Who gives him the right to call gods shots. They do not hunt man, they have no defense. This is morally wrong. An evil act. Have we come so far but not yet evolved from our barbaric acts that we have practiced since the dawn of time. This at the core fundamentally wrong. Our leaders can incoprate all the moral changes they want, so they can say we are making changes for all the right reasons only to mask all the evil and murder we committ at the core of our souls. This is a crime against creation and murder against a living, breathing creature that was put on this planet with no less right than mankind. God must be hurting.

What population are you going to keep in check after the wolves people do you actualy believe youre lies does it help you sleep better at night making something that so bad good in you're mind like I said the army is looking for cream puffs such as youreselfs sign up please.

Professing themselves wise they became fools, because they recieved not a love for they truth, God turned them over to a reprobate mind that they should believe a lie, because they worshiped the creation (wolves, trees, nature) more than the creator. When God turns your mind over to belive a lie, you dont know it and will think what you believe is true. The problem is, people won't live by Gods word in their personal life, so they try to make up for it by jumping on some cause to save the planet ( Gods word addressed this coming mindset in people, in his word)

The majority of people in the military fighting for our safety are hunters.

Wow, you are all so angry, hunting is not bad if done with in the law. Hunting has been going on for many many centuries. The wolves are not bad, and yes they are a part of our eco system. So people remember this, there are hunters, there are tree huggers. We all have opinions and that is ok. To end all this fighting among ourselves remember this...If you hunt, do it right and only to protect or to eat. If a wolf or any other animal is not hurting you, try to just enjoy the beautiful creature and watch it, learn from it. If hundreds of sheep are being killed then yes something must be done, but just do not go out on a hunt to specifically wipe out a part of our world. And tree huggers, do not act like all hunters are bad, there are good and bad in all people, groups and races. Stop putting all hunters into the same category. And look at all these comments, shame on you all, this is why there is so much hate in the world, we can not accept difference. Yes I hunt, yes I love wolves and do not want to see them wiped out. There is a balance in life, the problem is not many humans understand that balance.

The majority of people in the military putting themselves in harms way for your safety are hunters

First I don't believe in wars two wrongs don't make a right war has no winers and the ones that pay the price is our young generation fighting the poloticians war when asked they don't even know what constatutes a victory gee that why we can't achieve victory.

No anger here, just amusement

your the one who said send the hunters to afganistan now your saying you dont believe in wars? sorry I dont have time I gotta go

I don't belive in wars and I don't believe in hunters sorry.

reading all you idiot's complain about the wolves make me want to become a wolf hunter

First off how can you say that indians would not of killed the wolf?lol
And yes there are still indians on the planet, have you ever left new york?
and defenseless? wolves are one of the most efficient predators in the world, with more gray matter then any taliban.
It is disgusting that fellew humans would rather see a human hit with a bullet then a damn animal.
wake up enviros and work with hunters and get something done, besides picketing and spreading propaganda

Wolves kill to eat. Humans kill for joy. do you enjoy killing babies? do you eat wolves? So why the desire to kill,kill,kill?

Opening up a wolf season is nothing more than game management. The wolves are devastating the deer and elk herds and the pack needs to be trimmed down. Its called game management.For those of you who want to crucify hunters. Let me say this. If you have ever seen the cruelty in which a wolf kills, you would think differently. Not just that, but wolves kill for sport. They don't eat everything they kill. They kill other animals and leave them to rot. Its disturbs even hunters to see animals killed in the manner that a wolf kills.

It is beyond me how someone can kill a deffensless animal why don't you dumb hunters hunt youreselfs that way you can realy call youself a hunter with a equal that shoots back.Killing a defensless animal is not hunting its killing they should be called as such killers.An animal hunts to survive they were not blessed like humans to have hands and higher intelligence yet we are no better than they are at least some of us aren't specialy the so called hunters that like to see an animal suffer that is called crualty ignorance is bliss.

are u serious???
WOW...like we need any more animals to go extinct..
i thought humans had evolved..
now i see humans are still barbaric....
and disgusting as usual...

Wolves kill to eat. Humans kill for joy. do you enjoy killing babies? do you eat wolves? So why the desire to kill,kill,kill?

Wolves kill to eat. Humans kill for joy. do you enjoy killing babies? do you eat wolves? So why the desire to kill,kill,kill?

I cant beleive people could hunt such a beautiful animal. Wolves do nothing wrong, they kill because they need to eat. Humans kill for sport and insecurity. No other reason.
And whoever *Anomonously* said wolves don't eat anything they kill, then what DO they eat? Grass?
No. Wolves hunt deer and elk because it's part of the food chain. Besides, deer aren't near endangered, and while I love deer, I would hate to see wolves going extint because humans kill half of them and destroy the rest of their homes.
Peopel just need to leave wolves alone.

killing for fun ,is a sin.....i would understand if you were hungry, if you had to defend youre family but just becouse the rich friend of the judge want to go at it with wolves is sad and its a sin. May the most high forgive you judge.(name not worthy of mention.)

hunting is apparently the only management allowed by law. We can't have everything(lots of wolves, lots of deer, lots of elk, lots of bunnies.) its called balance.

Send the so called hunters to afganistan to hunt the taliban then they can be called hunters not shooting a defensless animal go to a sycologist get youresefs checked out something is missing up their I hope you all get to be wolves in you're next life probably will, what goes around comes around people they will get theirs.

I think hunting any animal is just plain unfair. Animals may not be human, but they have the right to live just as much as we do. You would have to wonder what type the of person the judge and the people that go out killing innocent animals that are here doing what they have been put on this earth to do. Pretty soon, i guess it will be alright to go and kill convicts just because they commited a crime just to say they are useless and don't serve any purpose in life(how sad). If some of you sick people out there just got to kill something then go and get you a playstation or xbox and get one of those animal hunt games, at least these are not real animals getting killed. I hate the thought of something like this being allowed.

most all animal rights people are perverts with animals and child molesters, shame on you, you are sick

There can only be so many of a species before problems arise. Hunting keeps that population in check. No sickness involved.

Remember the grizzly man, bear lover Timmothy treadwell who tried to play with a grizzlies private parts and got eaten alive by the grizzly bears he loved. What a bunch of sick perverted people, he ended up bear poop

OK while I do think this is retarded, some of you are going way overboard with your shitty answers and can tell some of you are eco-terorrists to begin with.

My problem with it is, why would you hunt a work? You can't eat them, so why do it? I can understand hunting anything you can eat, or if the population of a certain animal is actually harming the environment like some coyotes and wild boars...but this about wolves doesn't make any sense.

If the ones critizing hunting feel they are so holy then maybe they should give up Walmart, Costco, and any business laying pavement and concrete. The loss of habitat due the human expansion has caused more harm on wildlife than hunters ever have. You can bet everyone that posted something negative on hunters owns a car (probably 2) and is living in a nice cozy home which displaced some type of wildlife when it was built. Not to mention the thousands of miles of road their car drives on.

For Matt - Why did people trap beavers? Because there was a market for them. Similar for wolves. People are willing to pay money for a tag which in turn pays for Fish & Game of that state to manage the wildlife. If unchecked, wolves will destroy ranching communities and wildlife populations.

There is a huge difference between hunting deer, elk or any other animal that ia abundant and edible. The Grey wolf has been accused of so much damage that it does not do it is like you all believe in "Little Red Riding Hood" Educate yourselves!. I am a forest scientist and know a lot about wildlife management. The Grey Wolf is barelt off the endangered list and you want to kill it. For what? I have never hear of anyone eating wolf. Do you eat dogs as well? I bet you would like to shoot yourdelf a Bald Eagle too. All taxpayers pay for conservation not just hunters. I am embarrassed to be human based on the uneducated statements made by all of you that have to kill something to feel like a man. Make it even. give up your gun and hunt like an animal does. And don't give me a lecture on managing overpopulated species. Wolves are no where near that. Read a book or two (if you can) and learn the truth from a scientist not your local NRA rep.

Are you passionate because you are anti-gun or because you want to protect wildlife?

Lewis and Clark at dog due to a lack of wildlife. There were not many elk in Idaho until they were transplanted by hunters and elk have not been eliminated. Now wolves are in Idaho and are being hunted and I highly doubt they will be eliminated. In Alaska some areas have a limit of five wolves for the season and up to 10 wolves per day in other areas. An in Alaska wolves are no where near endangered.

Wow... from a logical viewpoint, you should not hunt any animal down to extinction. Which I am pretty sure that the hunters don't have in mind. Even if they were wiped out I am sure that it isn't anything that our cloning technology could not handle today. It shouldn't even come down to that though. The only ones that should be able to shoot a wolf are the farmers that are trying to protect their livestock or the people that are just out in the woods and have a hungry pack sneak up on them... then shoot(self defense)! I doubt this is how the big bucks NRA supported power hog judge sees it though. Hunting wolfs just for "sport" is pretty lame. Instead of all of that time spent hunting, why don't the rich white men (I am white myself) go work in a factory and/or do something more constructive with all of that time? I bet that in China there aren't thousands of hunters that are waiting to jump at some "opportunity" like this over there.
Now China is surpassing America in most areas because of the many libeling idiots like "Henry" from this blog.

If there are to many wolves, there is little else. Very simple

QUITE INTERESTING DISCUSSION....MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU....WHILE YOU ARE KILLING HIS CREATURES...IF A WOLF KILLS I THINK HE EATS HIS PREY..(THAT IS WHAT IT IS CALLED)...SO WHEN YOU HUNTERS KILL THE WOLF ARE WE HAVING WOLF STEW FOR DINNER? IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME A GOVERNMENT PERSON ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN....LOOK AT THE WORLD AND WHAT IS HAPPENING TO IT...SO SO SAD

"Steve" was the libeling idiot that went on about "most all animal rights people are perverts with animals and child molesters, shame on you, you are sick".

I stand corrected from me previous statement , as I tend to look up more often than I should. Up is a sign of hope... but in this day and age "hope", is very well seeming to be a false sense of security.

Are you serious steve? Have you even seen any documentaries on the History channel explaining how the hunting/gathering societies had a distinct disadvantage to the agricultural ones?? If the wolfs really are overpopulated (something that I highly doubt) let nature take its course. Either the game that is being hunted by the wolfs will become stronger and quicker, or the wolfs wont have anymore food to eat(this means no more easy kills for the human hunters as well) and they will be overcome by hunger and disease. Populations that rise sharply tend to fall sharply as well studies have shown. That is how evolution works. Without human intervention it is "survival of the fittest"... and with it more like "survival of the FATTEST".

-the many libeling idiots like "steve" it looks like at second glance... who wrote: "most all animal rights people are perverts with animals and child molesters, shame on you, you are sick"

Are you serious "steve"? Its great to see you stick up for the "hunters". Have you ever seen any documentary on the History Channel explaining how the hunting & gathering types of societies were at a distinct disadvantage to the agricultural ones? As the human race becomes more evolved, there will be less and less "hunting".

Actually statistics show that perverted serial rapists and killers, tortured house pets when they were young. Killing for fun is wrong, no, most animal rights people are not perverts and child molesters,.In our area the tree huggers have shut the timber industry down to a trickle so we grow gardens AND hunt for food. Wolves are not native to our area, why introduce them in to devour our elk,deer, and our livestock.We reserve the right to defend ourselves and ours.

Last month, a small pack of wolves in southwestern Montana killed 120 sheep in a single incident

C'mon. Some commons sense. You can't let them overpopulate until they eradicate their natural prey. If they are allowed to do so there will be tragedy on tap. Contrary to the lunatic fringe that says wolves have never preyed on humans, recorded history is full of stories about wolves doing just that. Ten years ago the same people were telling us mountain lions posed no threat to people. Now we see attacks every week. It's good to protect species as best we can, but let's not go overboard. As far as talking about the majesty of seeing a wolf in the wild, that is almost impossible. Wolves don't like to be seen and it is very rare to get even a glimpse. They are stealthy stalkers. A man who can hunt a wolf and protect his livestock successfully is deserving of his trophy.

Ever see what they do to a cow who is trying to calf? You'd shoot the wolves too.

Ever see what they do to a cow who is trying to calf? You'd shoot the wolves too.

yea, they start at the back of the cow and multiple wolves rip flesh and eat their way in and they devour the calf inside the cow along with the cows soft innards. They dont eat hardly any of the cow though apparently the wolf packs are developing a taste for just the softest flesh and leave whole carcasses hardly eaten. The same with elk they just eat the calf while it is being born and leave the mother dead without eating her;hundreds like this are found in our area alone

domestic dogs that are allowed to run wild and link up in packs become killers also.They kill anything just for fun. This is sad when the owners wont take responsibility for their animals and allow them to run wild. There are many cases of people and livestock being attacked by dogs and the solution is to destroy the dogs. The Idaho LAW has been for many years: If a dog is seen chasing deer or elk that Idaho law also provides that, Any dog found running, harassing, attacking, or killing deer or any other big game animal may be destroyed

Whats the difference : domestic dogs gone wild or wild dogs, they get in a pack and start killing for food but then start killing for fun ( many uneaten carcasses with just the calf eaten in our area) The law has been for years the domestic must be killed and now they are allowing the thinning of the wolves.Coyotes can be legally taken without a tag; why? because they are predators. like wolves and domestic dogs gone wild

The Good Book said that if a man had an animal that he knew had hurt a man on purpose... and he didnt kill it... and later it eventually killed someone, that the owner of that animal was to be put to death.

hunting will reinstill the fear of man to wolves. This will prove beneficial to both species.

when you kill a wolf your hurt the whole pack, and it makes no sense to hunt something that just came back from the endangered species list.. i mean its only what put them on it.
