I'm a hunter, but also a conservationist, yes you can be both, and I live on the cumberland mtn area of Tenn. and I know what I'm talking about. We now have to many coyotes because we destroyed the other big predators. If we continue to second guess and toy with nature I fear nature will toy with us. Wolves and cougars and bears were originally here for a reason, it may not be a reason that fits our agenda, but its truly the right reason. People leave things alone for once, bring these treasures back and enjoy what GOD gave us to enjoy. Thank you very much.

I was told as a child that wolves could be as much as five hundred something pounds. To read that realistically this wolf (possibly largest) was only 235 pounds, actually doesn't shake my admiration for them whatsoever. I would rather let wolves live and compete with them for hunting haha, I read that wolves compete for prey with humans and usually don't succeed. But I don't feel such a beautiful creature deserves to be killed so easily. Especially since this article mentioned it being involved with a bear attack. Wolves are actually my favorite creatures.

And as for hungry or angry wolves, they stay away from humans if at all possible. also the only places you see wolves hunting cattle are in areas where the natural prey of wolves have been driven out or killed to protect the cattle feeding areas. Given a choice a wolf would eat a hare over some child's rabbit and they would much rather eat bison than beef. the animals everyone sees running around stealing children and pets aren't wolves, though many will report 'A wolf took my Dog'. In fact recently in my area someone claimed a wolf was eating her chickens, not only was it not a wolf, it wasn't even canine, it was one of her barn cats. Regardless of that fact, every coyote, fox, and dog that looked anything like a wolf was rounded up and killed. My own German Shepherd Husky mixes were supposed to be part of that. I hunt, and now I have a $1,500 fine for shooting at an animal control officer, my neighbor was more complacent than me and now he's facing jail time for having a wolf hybrid, even though his dog was an Alaskan Mal. I wonder how long it will be before this gets in the news. PS. Wolves have been seen in my area in over a hundred years.
