The Outcast Loc: NE Michigan

Federal judge cancelled Wisconsins wolf season after hunters have already bought tags. Put the wolf back on endangered list. It is illegal to use lethal force to protect what is yours, live stock pets and/or hunting dogs. In Michigan you could use lethal means, but no longer, legally anyway.

How about that? I was not a fan of them reintroducing them, but I haven’t hunted them. They are beautiful animals, but if the State wants us to buy deer licenses why bring back something else for us to compete with when we help stimulate the economy?

I believe the limit last season was set at 200 animals and it was filled in 2 1/2 days. They don’t appear to have any idea how many we actually have roaming the State.

What I would like to know is why aren’t they out there counting them NOW, when they contrast with the snow? They may miss a few white ones, but just add 1/2% to the count!

Glad to hear this decision, I have been a Michigan resident that has hunted and fished for 60 yrs. here, and these beautiful animals were not only here before Michigan was a state, but God put these natural predators here for a reason. Once if at all, these wolves over populate their territory, then I have no problem with hunting them. But for now the No Kill is a great ruling.

I wonder if they are afraid of you like coyotes are, if not that could be a problem.

So what is the wolves natural predator? Man or starvation after they kill all other wild animals off and go for the domestic livestock. All I have to say about this is if 200 were killed in 2 1/2 days it says they are overpopulated.

And the coyotes have been getting pretty brave lately. You shoot a deer and are field dressing it at night they get pretty damn close sometimes. You can’t see em but you can hear them and they’re close. I shot a doe last December in the morning and after blood trailing it I had my grandson stand watch while I went back to the truck. I hadn’t been gone 5 minutes and a coyote showed up not 10 yards from him but took off before he could get a shot on it.

If it would have been a wolf your grandson might have been its dinner.

Hunt more than likely.

I wish all the tree huggers /animal rights people would just once start looking at there own. Maybe they need to have these wolves put in there yards .Maybe put a few around schools and stores ,maybe then they could see the damage these top killer do. just my though.

Wisconsin has about 1,200 wolves. Estimates are made by public observations and reports, Winter carnivore snow tracking, Summer howl surveys, wolf radio GPS collaring, and Snapshot Wisconsin photos. Snapshot Wisconsin is a state wide network of volunteers (I am one) who host trail cameras provided by the program to monitor wildlife.

My favorite thought Catfish! Ran across one laying dead up on a ridge in Montana that had a collar on it. Looked like a pretty nasty caliber hole from what I could see at a distance. What caliber rifle do you shoot😝😝

If you were educated on the story behind these planted wolves you might have a different opinion. These are not wolves designed by “God” for the area they’re in. Timber wolves are one thing. Gray wolves are an, entirely, different breed of character. See my aviator. A friend of mine killed that wolf after it slaughtered 6 horses in one night and didn’t take a bite out a one of them. Just killed them to be killing. The “super wolf” program is not known by many people yet. It’s a gigantic wolf, trapped, from the flat lands of Mexico, all males.. Well over 200 pounds. Those wolves are trapped, transported to designated gray wolf areas and turned loose. They dominate the, planted, northern gray wolf packs and breed the females. The results of these breedings are monster “gray wolves”, many exceeding 200 pounds and bred killers. It’s not the docile free ranging timber wolves we once had that followed large wild animal herds to forage on the weak of the herd. These INTRODUCED, not “reintroduced” wolves are planted for a reason and it’s all done by the federal government. Not sure what the reason is but it’s not good. We have a gray wolf season here in Idaho and residents are encouraged to buy 5 tags and fill them all every year. If they close the season I’d guarantee we’d just be saving the cost of the tag. They’re very smart and difficult to hunt but sly and attack at night. A friend of mine here had a golden retriever killed right on his front porch and shredded all over his front yard and didn’t hear it happen. That, particular, wolf will sit out at 600 yards and howl at the guy because he knows he can only shoot 500 yards. I told him I’d come by the next time he sees him and take care of it. I can, confidently, shoot 800 yards with my 300 win mag with no wind. He’s lost cattle, sheep, two dogs and 3 horses to that wolf in 5 years. All within 100 yards of his house. His kids are not allowed to play out in the yard by themselves. Wouldn’t happen at my place. 5 of them killed 18 elk one night, 6 miles north of our place and didn’t eat an ounce of meat. Just killed them all and left them.
