Wolves continue Hoback rampage

Posted: Thursday, Mar 10th, 2016 BY: Joy Ufford

BONDURANT Wolves killed a fifth beef calf in Hoback Basin Wednesday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) confirmed Thursday.

The protected wolves also continue to target elk, killing about 50 wintering on Bondurant's two feedgrounds under Wyoming Game and Fish (G&F) management.

FWS wolf program manager Mike Jimenez confirmed the recent livestock kills, and FWS with the USDA Wildlife Services (WS) has targeted the Dell Creek pack, which in February Jimenez estimated at 10 to 12 wolves and the basin's Rim Pack at seven to eight animals.
However, WS spotted 16 wolves in the western pack last week and killed five total as of Thursday in the general area of the cattle, leaving 11, he said in an email updating the count.

Those 5 are a good start. They need to kill the whole pack as they are all cattle killers. Maybe a new pack that isn't preying on livestock will move in.

Another boondoggle (work or activity that is wasteful or pointless but gives the appearance of having value) that can be blamed on the Democrats. :cowboy:

Dave is dead on with his statement. Anything short of complete pack removal is a waste of time when dealing with cow killing wolves. Partial pack removal can cause packs to fragment, creating new packs and more wolves with a taste for beef.
The wolf is North America's most mismanaged animal.

That is, I believe, exactly what the liberals want.

There was a fella that came up here to do mitigation that claimed you only needed to get the alpha wolf and the pack would leave you alone. Never saw any proof that that was the case :?
