Researching the goals of the wolf reintroduction, I stumbled on the reason for bringing the wolves to the lower 48. An Alaska study was done where no hunters were allowed. Quite an amazing study but the main point was wolves are so capable a predator they can cause a prey species population to crash. The following year without enough prey species to feed the wolves they died off from starvation. Now, here is the point every hunter must understand. After the crash, if man hunted any of the prey species, it would cause the prey species to become too low and not have the population to recover. The only solution was to close down hunting until the prey species recovered - a 17-year cycle. The animal rights people having read the study understood the best way to close down hunting was to use keystone predators. Every hunter must understand what the word keystone means. The key to removing the foundation stone of the hunting culture.

How did they convince the hunters that the wolf was needed? Ah, now you must understand the game is about money and power. Last year the Defenders of Wildlife budget was $35 million but they only have 500,000 members. Being highly educated, they understood the only way to convince America the wolf was an important species was to hire a high-dollar ad agency that had a psychologist to help manipulate the public opinion. You must understand this has nothing to do with truth and everything to do with money. That is why you always see the cute little wolf puppies with music playing. The music is picked to put your mind in alter state opening your sub conscience mind. This is a technique that corporations have learned to use over the years. Have you ever started singing a commercial song? People say, “I can’t get that song out of my head.” Now you know why.

Here are a few examples. Wolves mate for life. A complete myth. Why do I say it is myth? The alpha male mates with every single female in the pack that comes into heat, even his own daughter! But the truth is in DNA sampling of the pack. The daughter is related only to the alpha female. Unless you failed biology in high school you will understand that means the alpha female is breeding with other male wolves. Hunters are going to kill wolf puppies? This is hilarious how far removed from the natural order of life are people to fall for this one? Wolves have their puppies in the spring. The proposed hunting season is in the fall. The puppies are now almost full grown wolves.

Every hunter out there must understand that every single hunting forum on the web has pretenders acting as hunters. How did I find out about this? During making my film “Undue Burden the Real Price of Living with Wolves”, I interviewed Jim Beers, retired USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) biologist. Jim one year attended the annual Washington, D.C. animal rights conference. This tiny group of radicals get together and hold this meeting for a week. Normal attendance is less then 100 people. But what they teach these people is then taken back to their groups and spread across the land. One technique that is taught is to become members of hunting forums. Always stick up for predators, start straw man arguments to get the hunters fighting among themselves. Once you understand the tactic, they are very easy to spot. Straw man argument, such as I don’t know how you feel about scopes on muzzleloaders, but to me that is not primitive hunting. You see they are not taking a side they just get the fight started. The 4×4 associations have really done a great job standing up to the radicals that want to make huge parts of America into Wilderness. What is wrong with wilderness you ask? Ah, the devils are in the details. Roads are closed off. What is wrong with that? Ah, say you shoot an elk 10 miles back in, you can walk on perfectly good road but you can’t drive it to retrieve your elk. Therefore you have to pack the elk out. Wilderness area means it’s closed off to the public. It is real common to see these animal rights folks pretending to be hunters start the argument about 4 wheelers, snowmobiles and off-roading with the hunting community. Divide and Conquer works very well.

In a 1971 book called Rules for Radicals, Alinsky scolded the Sixties Left for scaring off potential converts in Middle America. True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within.

How to spot the pretenders. Post anything about wolves and you will see the ones saying this is all myths, disinformation, and fairy tales. They will demand links to prove everything. When you supply the links and the proof they will ignore it. They will then attack you and say you are afraid of the wolves. They will ignore the children being terrorized by wolves. They will ignore the ranchers forced out of business because of the wolves. They will ignore the human attacks by wolves. They will ignore the dog being killed right in front of children by wolves. You see the picture. Hunters must understand the true facts and what the real goal is. Until you understand your enemy’s battle plan, hunters will lose.

Hunters if you fail in your duty to expose the wolf propaganda you can tell your children to find another hobby. Why do I say that? Because the wolf hunting season for this fall was stopped in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho by a animal rights lawsuit. Dr. Charles Kay wrote a great article in Mulie Crazy Magazine about what the ruling means. The new number of wolves, before a hunting season can be open, must be over 6,000. The good Dr. Kay says it will be the end of deer and elk hunting in the west. Uncontrolled, the wolves will spread to all western states.

Wolves hunt 365 days a year. There favorite food is fresh hot fetuses ripped from the mother. The rest of the cow elk is left to rot. One study down in Yellowstone proved that wolves were killing the majority of the baby elk. In fact the study says, per 100 elk, that the survival rate for calves in high wolf areas was 0-10. For any population to survive as a species a minimum need is 20%. This so scared the USFWS they did another study the following year in area with few wolves but a lot of grizzlies and guess what the grizzly was? The main predator of the baby elk. Surprise, surprise, surprise. You must understand the USFWS is no longer standing up for hunters. The wolf biologists are only worried about their pet project and could care less about your hunting. The USFWS also uses Federal money to bribe state biologists to never blame the wolf for lower game numbers. Must be nice to have millions of dollars to bribe people with. The amount of misinformation about wolves is staggering. A complete book could be written on it. Are you, the hunting community, going to bow to a tiny radical group bent on destroying the hunting culture in America?

The other point every hunter in America needs to understand is how wolves are counted. The single, doubles and uncollared packs are not counted. Only packs with 3 or more animals are counted. This is another fraud to hide the true numbers of wolves in America. When you hide the truth, you are a fraud, USFWS. The true numbers of wolves in the wild are a lot higher than official reports. The wolf biologist that promote this fraud need to be fired or forced to retire early.

How you can fight back is get a copy of my film, “Undue Burden the Real Cost of Living with Wolves”. www.prosts.com/Documentary-Undue-Burden.htm Every single hunter in American needs a copy to show to their friends, wives, girlfriend, and hunting club. Any group like Rocky Mountain Elk foundation that supports wolves, cancel your membership and tell them why. If you think the hunting culture of America is worth fighting for then it is time to stand up and be counted. If you do nothing the animal rights folks are already talking about banning hunting to increase wolf population. Your choice hunters. There are 16 million hunters in America, a sleeping giant that needs to be awakened from their slumber and start fighting back.
