Dang J.Jarvis, That breaks my heart about the Basin Butte pack. 12/01/09 - 08:25
50 miles in 12 hours between sightings. The pack in silver creek was all light colored. The wolf in the big desert was black and much larger. I surmise that the wolves in silver creek are there to stay, why would they leave? Just like the pack up greenhorn and the pack up east fork that was sighted yesterday morning. They are setting up to camp on the residual elk herds that never leave those areas and are always seen lounging and feeding on the south facing slopes near those locations. Go ahead and reason wolflover. 12/01/09 - 07:33
Ok I was out in the big desert south of Craters of the moon yesterday and spotted A large grey wolf 3 or 4 miles southeast of Laidlaw Butte in south park just A mile or so southeast of south park well. 12/01/09 - 07:37
That makes 10 wolves seen and many more heard in the last two days. You people say that there are not "too many" wolves in southern idaho should get out more. These were entirely seperate and distinctly different wolves, two packs in fairly close proximity to each other and livestock. 12/01/09 - 08:12
Ten wolves is a lot? I guess I should try to tell you packs move and change. except why should I reason with you? 11/30/09 - 12:02
Hey everyone I saw 3 wolves eating cheesburgers at Jack in the box in Twin Falls, so if you like.. you know...... Or you can just grab lunch if they already left. God you are lame Timber. 11/30/09 - 12:40
Tyler, I work at Jack in the Box in Twin and have never seen a wolf at our location. I've been an associate manager here for the last 6 years and am offended by your comments. Although we work at a "Fast Food" restaurant, we are still hard-working Americans who are trying to provide for our families with the opportunities that are available. I also like eating poop in my trailer because I live in Twin Falls. 11/29/09 - 13:43
Saw nine wolves this morning chasing geese in the silver creek area. Saw them from the old railroad tracks between Hayspur fish hatchery and gannet in the fields to the south. I imagine they will be there with the Elk that should be calling it home soon. In case anyone wants to ..... well you know. 11/28/09 - 08:15
Of wolves and worms 11/29/09 - 08:12
This one is a threat to humans, although rare. The Echinococcus Granulosus is relegated to the areas where dogs or wolves or foxes are eating the intestinal remains of infected herbivores and then passing it on the eggs in feces which, in turn, the herbivores eat inadvertently… Man gets into the picture when dog or wolf feces are infected and wind up in his food, OR when he eats infected herbivores…. Big problem is when deer wind up with it, or elk as well. Evidently, the wolf is passing it on to elk and deer…….Hunters, doesn’t this make you concerned about not only is the wolf decimating the deer and elk….they are also infecting them with a parasitic host that is deadly to man. Of course, this does not concern most of the non-venison eaters who are the wolf’s bed-mates, and would like all hunters out of the woods. 11/28/09 - 01:15
Great NEWS!!!! 11/28/09 - 07:55
That is the Misconception, preconceived, and assumed blog site. There science data is as accurate as the global warmers math.. 11/28/09 - 19:54
Just like I said. Donations are the first thing you see on his blog. Money is king isn't it Ralph? What A load of crap. 11/29/09 - 00:31
jj, 11/29/09 - 20:04
Don'thold your breath fed....Ariel gunning and the hunts will continue...If anything it may become more liberal....Poison may enter the picture again soon....but thanks for the seatle liberal rag info... 11/30/09 - 16:24
This was news that ticked me off. Thanks for your great idea for my project. It is titled "Save the Wolves from aerial hunting in Alaska" You will see results by April........ 12/01/09 - 15:23
WolfHumper...are you serious...you think your 8th grade wolfie project is going to get national attention....what color s the sky in your world>>? 12/01/09 - 15:54
Acutually, it will. I have many friends with the same view as me. I wish Idaho wasn't as neive as to believe everything is imposible. Today well lived and worshiped, makes tommorow better. I may only be in the eigth grade but I have more the mind of a scholar than you. I will make this global, because in order to help wolves I need money for a plane ticket. I will begin my career as a singer. Any money earned will go to the wolves. Ask anyone I know. I have one heck of a voice! glad to see you are still acting the smart one. Only the weak call others names. I haven't for a while unless you count my cussing. I WILL try to stop wolf hunting. It will happen. Good luck trying to stop me!!!! 12/01/09 - 21:09
Wolf lover...I apologize for the name...i didn't realize you were really in the 8th grade...I was being sarcastic....I don't make it a point to pick on kids...I really am sorry.... 12/02/09 - 07:54
Why thank you. LMAO... lolz. This makes me happy. Wolflover is smiling on the inside..... : ) 11/27/09 - 21:55
Boise State is ranked at an astonishing #5. Myopia can be cured, turn away from the obsessive need to feed your lust to win a war of words over the hunt. The wolf has a very good pup survival rate, it is a sure thing that they will make up there numbers in 2-3 years. If you can accept the fact of a wolf getting shot through the lung and all its writhing and convulsions and frothy blood staining its beautiful coat, then remember a new beginning will happen for the wolf and the wapiti. They and the others mulies, coyotes, moose will recover. Trust Idaho fish and game as you would your mother! 11/27/09 - 22:28
Sorry listeners but I made a slight error, The Broncos are ranked an awesome #6 just behind the Cincinnati Bearcats who are the rightful owners of #5. 11/28/09 - 07:36
That must be some good bud you been smokin dude.. Wolves never ever managed anything and never ever will.. 11/27/09 - 17:00
Another point which you seem to miss wolflover is that we don't aim to eradicate all the wolves from idaho but to merely control the population as it is growing out of control. One word, "BALANCE" period. 11/27/09 - 17:18
Didn't I know that already? But I believe that this "Quota" from the fish and game is total crap. 220 wolves is a lot. Way too many to be killed in the first year wolf hunting is REALLY reopened. 11/27/09 - 16:53
Ok this is for wolflover. I looked up Elk on Wikipedia and they supposedly crossed the land bridge in the early Pleistocene ice age period. The Canadian grey wolf just after. So what is your point about two toed animals? Please enlighten me. Feel free to call your 8th grade science teacher. 11/27/09 - 11:20
Where exactly are Deer and Elk native to? Do you expect people actually believe you lynne? Did you know it is illegal to haze game animals, and extremely dangerous to fire your pistol into the air? Somebody is going to get hurt because of your fervor. What goes up comes down somewhere. Just how much do you make A year in wages from donations to your non profit orginazation? Doesn't it pay to stir the pot? Must be great advertising for donations to expand your monetary and overzealous agenda? What do you think people? Anybody given any thought to the real agenda of some people like this? Think about it. I have personally seen native american pictographs in our immediate area that are dated to 8000+years showing Elk, Deer, and Antelope not to mention Big horn sheep. Not native????? 11/27/09 - 14:46
Environmentalism is religion..And their kooks. 11/27/09 - 16:10
I am NOT lynne stone. You should do some research, then you might find I am right. I learned this from my eighth grade science teacher who has more wilderness experience from his hunting trips than your butt is worth. Google it. I am NOT your mom so just do it if you want. It is a fact but you don't have to believe me.... 11/27/09 - 16:29
I don't believe everything that is in the cyber world. Do you? I certainly do not believe fanatical statements meant to roust up all the animal rights activists that view this comment forum to action. You should have stayed for ninth grade you might have been enlightened. There is plenty of archeological and fossil evidence to support my claim. Google this! History is changing everyday with new discoveries and scientists still do not know the whole story. True there were some type of wolves on the north american continent for the last several thousand years. I do not dispute this. There were also Mastadon and Mammoth. Heck let's bring in elephants to replace them. Just as ludicrous as introducing the canadian grey wolf where the north american timberwolf was native. I have seen native american pictographs within A few miles of Bellevue which show large horned elk looking animals. There are extensive studies done by the BLM and USFS proving the age of these. What makes you think that europeans placed all these animals here for their hunting pleasures. Lots of people have opinions and I would say that yours is unsupported. Why don't you just use your real name if you are not lynne stone or are you? 11/27/09 - 16:42
No, there was already a population of deer and elk growing. I believe the bridge of land theory. The land bridge connected North america to basicly, Russia. I believe my science teacher over you. Why? because of the fact he is a TRUE environmentalist. He hunts, and I trust his facts over ever last one of yours! 11/28/09 - 08:54
LMAO, " I believe my public indoctrinator over all else." Who controls what they teach in those classes ? government does. Who just flew around Stanley air gunning the basin pack killing seven wolves, your government did.. 11/26/09 - 10:44
For the sake of everyone else on this forum, let me see if I understand Wolflover: Deer and elk are not native to Idaho, even humans are not natives -- but the larger Canadian wolves are. (she doesn't understand that the reason for the larger wolves in Canada is due to the big populations of moose and huge bears that they've adapted to killing. This is why in Idaho they have a smorgasboard of relatively smaller game, so they just kill and eat a snack of the choicer morsals and move on to the next pregnant deer for more choice snacks of unborn fawn hearts. Don't you just love it Wolflover?) So since none of we humans or the deer and elk are natives, Wolflover doesn't have any feelings or concern for our survival. She has reserved ALL her caring feelings for the wolf only, while telling the rest of us -- including the deer, elk, cattle, pets, and even US to -- drop dead. Nice to know you Wolflover. 11/26/09 - 09:39
Come on Wolflover -- ease up on the Fish & Game. Maybe they're beginning to wise up and feel sorry for all the elk, deer, and other "poor creatures" that are being killed by out-of-place monsters from Canada. Even the Canadians asked why in the world would we do such a thing as import their varity of larger wolves into Idaho. Too bad Fish & Game didn't have an answer at the time. 11/26/09 - 10:22
Out-of-place monsters? Wolves aren't exactly bound to the canadian border but too bad. You talk like you know something... We are out-of-place monsters no human is truly "native" to america because we didn't evolve here. Deer/elk aren't "native" either. Do you know why? Deer and elk both have two toes. All "native" creatures to north america only have one. Interesting fact, eh? 11/26/09 - 12:41
Some folks think the pro-wolf people have crossed the line as well. First they tell us 150 wolves and 10 breeding pairs in the wilderness. Now we are told we need over 2000 wolves. So who has crossed the line? Who has lied? Humans have never tolerated predators hanging around their villages. The wolves were either killed for fur and/or food, or habituated wolves were kept for hunting partners. Try reading something other than propaganda put out by the pro-wolf people. Wolves evolved in India, the Himalayan wolves are related to our North American gray wolves. Recently a wolf attacked 17 people in India. Not something we would like to have happen in Idaho. 11/26/09 - 14:06
Awww poor Wolflover and the rest of the wolf worshippers...having a tantrum because the Fish and Game is sticking with their management plan. You need to realize that science and management will not overrun by your misguided emotional adgenda. 11/27/09 - 15:25
Why don't you explain to everyone the difference between the canadian grey wolf and the north american timberwolf lynne? Different dogs lady! That is the problem. 11/27/09 - 16:31
Again, I am NOT lynne stone. 11/27/09 - 16:35
GOOD LUCK! 11/25/09 - 16:06
the United States occupies a land area of 3.79 million square miles. I converted this to square feet to get a more familiar idea of how big this really is. So: 1 mile = 5280 ft Let's set aside 2/3 of this area for purposes such as farming or institutions; that leaves us with 1/3 of this space to use for building homes. 105659136000000 sq ft / 3 = 35219712000000 sq ft That's 35.2 billion people we're talking about here just in the country of the United States!!! Imagine how many US there are in the world. Like a dozen or so! Given that half the world is uninhabitable, that would still be 35.2 billion times 6 = 211318272000 people! That's well over 200 BILLION PEOPLE maximum capacity that the Earth can support! Over population is propaganda ! 11/25/09 - 17:00
We could make the whole nation, shore to shore, one big Sweetwater. (It`s not wild without wolves) 11/25/09 - 19:29
Over population propaganda?? Perhaps you shouldn't have gotten off your medication! The resources to support the population are what you are completely ignoring -- and we are at the stress point now. Water, food production, trash management, timber for construction, precious metals, even rubber for tires -- are all entering a stage of real concern. But oh no -- don't figure all that; just count the available space and cram us all in that and we'll be just fine. Must have been some powerful medicine. 11/25/09 - 20:05
The same propagandists pushing the global warming hoax are behind your "water shortage", as well the environmentalists are behind the ESA insanity which denied water to farmers in California over the smolt, which it turns out is being harmed more by the ESA agenda than helped, meanwhile farmers that feed 50% of this nation are watching that water dump into the pacific while centuries old farm lands die and wither into weed patches, including Almond trees..etc. etc. No where did i advise cramming this population onto this continent, you did that, I showed you how much space there really is. The World Bankers via Maurice Strong, ex U.N. president have purchased all water rights under North America, if there is a water shortage, (There in fact is Not) that sounds like a pretty stupid investment to me. But it's cool backpacker, lets just kill every one based on a lie so the elites can have it all to themselves. I don't eat poisonous products provided by the Medical Industrial Pharmaceutical Complex... 11/26/09 - 07:38
wow-No water shortage, people have been fighting and dying over water in the West since we got here. I can only use water (for my yard in Hailey) every other day. The Big Lost River (at the source of whats left of the biggest aquafer in the US) runs dry by mid-ssummer. Take a look at Trail Creek after Sun Valley gets done with it. 11/26/09 - 07:49
Are you for real?? Scary! 11/26/09 - 07:54
Your original comment -- ""That's 35.2 billion people we're talking about here just in the country of the United States!!!"" Then you replyed -- "No where did i advise cramming this population onto this continent--" So now everyone reading this forum is wondering -- well -- I'll leave that to them. No -- I don't buy into the global warming and other "activists" agendas either, but I am concerned about what I do know regarding the supply of natural resources necessary to support our country while the illegals keep flooding in. By the way, let's talk about the subject at hand -- wolves -- and the need to carefully regulate them for a lot of good reasons. 11/26/09 - 23:41
That is by far the stupidist reasoning I have ever read ever. 11/25/09 - 13:04
I agree with Steve. Perhaps not the lethal measures part. However, people need to stop having so many kids and overpopulating the planet. It can not sustain us all, forever. One kid per couple would be a nice place to start. Off spring are a major carbon foot print. The biggest. 11/25/09 - 11:51
I saw a wolf eat a million deer in one day. That means folks that there are only a billion left. If we don't do something Randy, Steve, live2hunt and all the other rednecks will only illegally get to shoot 3 deer a year instead 5. How will they eat.. Man this is a serious problem. We need to think. 11/25/09 - 12:10
Oh my gosh. You are allowed to vote, too, aren't you? 11/25/09 - 11:26
If anyone is interested, I'm selling a new wolf-hunting product that should turn the wolf-hunting industry on it's wolf-head. It's a full very life-like wolf suit. This will allow all wolf hunters to infiltrate the pack, gain the trust of the wolves and then pick them off, one by one. The wolf suit has many features, to name a few; real wolf fur, wolf eye holes (so you can stare down the other wolves, a show of dominance), wolf-paw finger holes (to help with eating), realistic wolf rear-end (this will allow the wolf to smell your rear end without raising suspicion). Also available but sold separately; realistic wolf poop, extra long wolf tail, puffy wolf fur jacket (for cold nights), Teen Wolf Too VHS. I'll be at the Snow Bunny parking lot tomorrow all day. There will be a demonstration of me eating a burger while wearing the wolf suit. Also, I'll be rollerblading in the skatepark while wearing the wolf suit to demonstrate the ease of movement. Hope to see you there! 11/25/09 - 09:22
jerry your perception is warped.. 11/25/09 - 09:26
sorry im not awake yet i ment to put STEVE not JERRY 11/25/09 - 09:26

These blood thirsty predators kill for sport. They are not native, and they damage the elk and deer populations. They are not normal predators. They kill and often do not eat the prey. They are not a harmonious part of the ecosystem. Their numbers need to be controlled and lethal measures are needed. They're pretty easy to spot. They drive around in their motorized vehicles, are usually overweight, and underwitted. Hunter season is wide open. Let's get rid of as many of these degenerates as possible. 11/25/09 - 12:15
Hey everybody: 11/26/09 - 10:28
makes me laugh. MWHAHAHAHAHAHA. Person above, did you know that a certain government official threatened the life of the president of the USA? THAT is a threatening coment! 11/25/09 - 07:34
I saw a black lobo wolf at the Greenhorn trailhead at 9am Monday morning. 11/25/09 - 08:40
Jerry, Thanks for the sighting info. Keep posting where we see them to help fill the quota! Leave a Comment
