Ice fishing I pretty much chase wallyes and perch, open water, I'm after the macs in the 8-10 pound range, anything smaller or larger goes back. Backpacking in the WR range, Honey and I take a few small trout for at least one dinner. You? LT (I already miss my though!)
hey LT. Iwill look into your request. HIMO MFF Moderator
Wow.......nothing like reading 3 pages of pure ignorance before bed. And you guys wonder why organizations like PETA want to take our guns away. Way to go fellas!
I remember about 20 years ago reading an article in Outdoorlife or Bowhunter Magazine about the coyote problems in Maine. They were killing all of the fawn deer. It was a real serious problem. I felt sorry for the deer and the hunters in Maine. I remember thinking just how good we had had it out here in Wyoming. Well then they forced the wolves on us and protected them. Then we were in the same boat as the guys in Maine...The only difference is you guys could do something about it. They are, as I have said before, just a predator. On a parting shot, I wonder how you would feel if coyotes were suddenly protected. You had to sit by and watch your deer herds either move or be wiped out. It does suck. And sorry that you stayed up to read about our real problem out here in the West... Wyoming Ice
Nice point Troutaddict33, but wolf-coyote numbers won't mean much to this thread about wolves when you consider the vast size difference and prey base of each critter. Coyotes are generally unable to take a healthy elk, although I've seen where a small pack has caught a deer on slick ice and was able to bring it down. Had wolf de-listing occurred when it should have some considerable time back, we wouldn't have had the huge proliferation into what is known as the predatory area...but it didn't, now we have this problem
