They are tough and smart as hell but there is dedicated hunters and trappers who get good at taking wolves
As a trapper you likely know of a few BC trappers that are really good with wolves

Yes, there are some that don't give a shit and some who try hard to find the loopholes in hunting and there are a few.
NOBODY I have seen/read on HBC wants wolves to be eradicated in BC, not one post have I ever seen saying that.
So, there are a few members who are out to lunch when they say that some here want that, and should be kicked off HBC for such false
claims.
As for the ETHICAL factor on wolves and hip shots, I agree and I think every hbc member also agrees it is NOT EHTICAL, but rather
PRACTICAL if one wants to do a proper job when taking wolves and not making the issue worse, thus it is brought up.
EVERY HBC MEMBER would like to see the Ministry to start doing the RIGHT THING, which is a full on cull of entire packs to "thin them out".
IT is a part of managing all wildlife in BC and without it, creates some real imbalances that take years to "naturally be rectified"!!
And that doesn't work when we had the human factor to these issues, and I am not just talking hunter, but everyone in BC playing a role
in the demise of game #'s.
And to say that a member is potentially unethical in one situation, does not mean they are unethical all across the board!
It just means they are frustrated with "one particular issue".
Some folks need to get their asses kicked off HBC and they can go F off to the Anti Sites!
Exactly, and I am with you, I don't want to see wolves eradicated, just controlled..right now they are out of control in this province...

Where has any one said they were worried about wolves been eradicated, or that some want that.
There is a few on here that continue to dream stuff up and do make hunting/hunters look bad with there talk
of illegal activity and un ethical methods, such as causing pain and suffering to animals, then they say its the
governments fault that thye are doing it, quit sad.
Some stuff may being done by the government in parts of the EK to do with predators they just dont like it
being known.

We are seeing that pic completely different
I would not call that a hero shot because he does not look like he is celebrating at all. Looks more like someone who is upset and sharing their experience as a warning of potential hazards with wolves and hounds
Re: Wolves Are Eating All Our Game Animals Up In BC..
I think Wayne is a very handsome man and he is very photogenetic. I would let him take a hero picture with me and my dog any day.
Wayne you are a gem. I love that many dummies on this forum eat out of your hand. Just like a good dog would do.
Goooooooood Boyyyyyyy
Re: Wolves Are Eating All Our Game Animals Up In BC..
For me, a picture of a dead wolf elicits a warm and fuzzy feeling. Very impressive creatures.
I wonder how long they can go without a meal???? Anybody know?
Re: Wolves Are Eating All Our Game Animals Up In BC..
In looking at the facebook page, I was a little confused. The only Pinkham Creek of which I am aware is down by Eureka, Montana.
Over the last few days, since we have had enough snow to see tracks, the lack of whitetail sign is notable. This is in an area which had a pretty large population. In fact, 10 years ago, the population was impressive. Now, not so much. The elk herd is also much reduced. This is not due to the presence of wolves. I have not seen a wolf track within five miles of the house for 6 years.
Another animal which is reduced in numbers is the coyote. Probably because there are not enough prey animals to keep them here. Over the winter, I'll start to cover different areas to the west of the house and see how things look.
Further south, wolves are reported more often (up from Montana) so it seems like a more likely area to hunt for some. GD
