I grew up in Texas, and started hunting when I was 10 years old. But why let facts get in the way of your mis-informed opinions. Carry-on talking out your ass...

"well didnt you go off on a tangent in life then... suck on that..."
Que? I am not against wolf hunting, and I do not think anyone is saying their populations do not need control.
Ever think of just Shutting the f*#k up before repeatedly sticking your foot in your mouth? Or are you still trying to prove your point about african hunting based on your years of experience painting dead trout in your mom's basement?

Childress has a nice Nascar garage in NC, so you walk Dale's old cars, then you walk past Harvick's latest ride, then you see a giant grizz hunted by childress himself, weird juxtaposition, but them good ol boys be like that sometimes,

There are a bunch if ignorant liberal c*nts on this site.
It's a wolf. Most of you have never even seen a wolf in real life. Most of you never will.
You guys are just a bunch of pansies. I was trying to type out a nice paragraph explaining why this is justifiable, but even if I do, you guys are a bunch of pansies who just want to stir the sh#t to make others look bad.
The hunter was being a product of society. He was helping his community.
(Starving children!!!) Get the f*ck over it. That hunter killing a wolf has nothing to do with that starving child. If parents can't provide for the children, don't have them.
What the f*ck do you do for anyone but yourself?

Cabelas doesn't just have stuffed animals.
You can go to the restaurant and eat bison, moose, or elk.

People who kill for 'sport' are killing for fun. I've eaten a lot of wild game that I have killed. I only kill what I want to eat. I have no respect for hunters that kill for sport. NONE. Go ahead and call me a liberal, I've eaten more game than most of you pussy trophy hunters who end up wanting to give the meat to someone/anyone(O.K. Riley you can post me as one of your top five most impressive climbing partners now ).

Ron and Silver, I've been doing good on the chukar this year in one of my areas that holds water year round, limited last weekend, hunted from sun up to sun down though. Tore up a pair of boot on the steep, nasty terrain. I've wanted to get a chukar mounted but they always seem to be in such bad shape by the time i get back to the car. Got one fairly close by but his head was damaged pretty badly. Any tips on keeping it in good shape ? I've heard to stick it in nylons.
We should have a supertopo meat eaters hunting weekend, like sushifest.
While up on the mountain last weekend I heard what sounded like a BASE jumper coming by. When I turned to look above a golden eagle came ripping by in a power dive less than 100' away, talons extended like when you see them about to grab a fish. He grabbed a chukar out of mid air that was gliding down to the flats. When he cruised by my buddy below the chukar was making that "ptew ptew" chirp they do when they fly away from you. So he saw an eagle fly by sounding like a chukar. Incredible sight.

why can't we hunt humans, for either food or sport ? i mean, we sorta do it for sport already, but that's really about money (war) and not a true contest...seems like the population is pretty out of control, not being able to provide clean food and water for their children and all that...
why do we put animals down and call it mercy, but make people lay in beds for years ? isn't that the opposite of mercy ?

locker says In the meantime, kids are sick and starving to death all over this great world of ours...
It's not that great if kids are "sick and staving to death all over" it...

Childress mentioned upthread has a shack in Paradise Valley, Montana too--been there for a quick delivery, saw some taxidermy work that was just like every other "joe six pack hunter's" house around here (many of whom I call friends).
No big deal
I've also seen first hand many a wolf mount, and know folk that have standing "shoot upon sight" wolf permits--as I said...
...no big deal

I grew up hunting in the south; mostly small game. Quail, dove, duck, squirrel and rabbit. Someone ate all that we shot. I only really liked to eat the duck and quail.
Later, I got into deer hunting, killing one large buck and smaller bucks and does. I had my first buck mounted, a nice 10 point that field dressed around 180#'s. I really didn't want to mount it; but my pals insisted; so I gave in and did. At first I was proud of it; but later thought it was kind of weird. The biggest challenge in bagging a trophy buck is having a place to hunt and the time to sit and wait.
About that time I went to visit a man who had traveled all over the world killing exotic game and shipping home the trophy, to hang in his "safari" room. At that point I knew what I had done was not something I was proud of any longer. I am not ashamed of it; but I will never do it again.
To me there isn't much sport in it, sit and wait here for a big deer. In Africa, most people use guides. It seems ridiculous. Having someone take you within range of a rifle that would kill and elephant and take it's life so you can hang the head on your wall. No one does it to feed the villagers; that is just a part of the justification game. If they really wanted to help the villagers there are far more efficient ways to do so with the money spent on big game hunting. Take a picture. That is what I do if I go duck hunting now.
I have to admit if I was invited on a quail hunt I would have to go. I love to watch the bird dogs pick up a scent and lock down on point. It is a rare event these days to get to go; especially to place where the birds aren't pen raised and released. Wild coveys of quail are a thing of the past in the south, they disappeared with the fence rows of the small family farm.
I have nothing against the sport of hunting for food. I don't agree with not following the law (as taking more than the legal limit, poaching, etc.) as well people that don't hunt with any type of discrepancy.
To kill a collared wolf on the outskirts of a national park is absurd. A hunter would have to be aware that the collar represented research and he should have let it pass. From what I read today wolf meat is not generally eaten; but used in ceremony and for medicinal purposes. The article didn't say whether the hunter was a rancher and killing the wolf to protect his stock. The article did say the wolf pack rarely left the park proper and usually returned to the safety of its boundaries soon.
I have it in my mind that this was a trophy hunter, with no intention of protecting anything other than his pride and is no different than the people who live around here that kill any snake they see "because the only good snake is a dead snake".
↓How do you know what his motivations were? What community?
