For those of you who might be wondering how the great little experiment of re-introducing wolves into Yellowstone National Park, Idaho, and Montana is progressing, here is a letter to the editor from the Dec. 2, 2002 Casper Star-Tribune.
Editor:
I see that the Game and Fish (Dept.) wants to raise the cost of elk permits, and I wondered if it is to pay for the equipment they had to use to bury all of those elk carcasses that the wolves kill but don’t eat.
Our hunting party now shares our hunting area with the Gros Ventre pack, and this was the first year we were skunked. We’re not your average road hunters, we spend 6 to 10 hours each day on foot, going where even men on horseback won’t go: 14 tags, nine days, no elk.
Please, at least put those oversized coyotes on the big game list. If we’re supposed to sit back and watch them wipe out our herds that put food on my table, please give me one shot at them. –
