USFWS Ask Judge To Return Rocky Mountain Gray Wolf To ESA List
September 23, 2008
It became official yesterday when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service asked that their original proposal to remove the gray wolf from protection under the Endangered Species Act be withdrawn and the wolf permanently placed back on the list.
USFWS personnel gave no indication of any alternative plan or time tables.

We feature the latest news, events and politics effecting the sports of hunting, fishing, and all outdoor activities in North America.
Calculated from the start, FWS must love it when a plan comes together. It’s working, I know several people who will not go in the woods and spend the night any more. If you tell your friends your going elk hunting they Retort sarcastically ” good luck”. The wolf program fiasco is a failure just like Congressional borrowing from foreigners via the federal reserve has proven to be. u.s. papal government credibility what a laugh. Let the damn wolves starve them selves out of existence, SSS should do the trick for the ones that don’t.
SSS happens!
Did you actually think it would be any other way? We knew it would that actually legally hunting wolves would never happen and now they say the wolf population has stabilized. Bull, we are seeing them in places that we never have before and it seems like every week their in a new drainage. It’s a good thing that most sportsmen follow the rules, however if the elk herds really start going in the crapper more than they are you will see a increase in the sss crowd.
I am near Hailey Idaho, just got off the phone with a huntin fishin buddy in Dubois Wyoming, I told him Idaho controlled hunts had been cut back by 50%, He told me his hunts around the parks, Teton, Yellowstone, have been cut back more than 50%, and he is talking about resident tags. In 2003 I was fishing over there and the preserve north of Jackson had over 14,400 Elk, I seen it, last winter I was traveling over there to snow machine South Pass, there were 6,500 elk in the same place, and the wolves were 1 mile away from the herd playing around.
I’m outta here for a few days, got the packs packed up, mules an horses ready to load at light and were dustin it to the Sawtooth Wilderness to get up around 9,000′ an do some glassin for a buck, and hit a couple lakes. Doing 45 miles and counting wolves too. I don’t expect the wolf intensity in this unit like the Frank Church. We’ll see. I’m thinkin Venison and I’m drooolin…..
I’m sure the wolves are thinking venison and drooling too. I hope you get to that buck first.
