If you read it that way, it wasn't my intention. I lay the blame on who you term the "bumbling federal bureaucrats". The feds had the full support of the “radical environmentalists”, though. I get your point that there are those who are self-described environmentalists who agree with my view. Many have documented their opposition to the introduction of this subspecies. I guess I don't view all environmentalists as radical. I many ways, I am an environmentalist myself. Thanks for sharing! SonomaOutfitters

I'd place the blame squarely on the bumbling of federal bureaucrats. This is one area where self-described radical environmentalists - who tend to be into deep ecology and pay very close attention to things like what is native to where - would be very much on your side.

You are right about elk herds barely surviving in some areas. The West Fork of the Bitterroot is one such area. I understand some areas in Idaho are in bad shape, as well. Keep up the fight! Thanks for stopping by. Bob kdub63

It is time we start shoving back as our deer and elk herds are barely surviving in some area's. This species was wrong from the beginning, as warned by professional wolf experts, and now is the time for it's removal from the lower 48. It's Illegal introduction and protections given under the ESA, where to say the least, underhanded and one of the lowest, terroristic, criminal events to happen to our wild lands in the history of conservation. Save a elk herd this year, shoot 1 'Canadian' wolf. Very well written Bob. It is time we start shoving back as our deer and elk herds are barely surviving in some area’s.
