    Another

    Wolves killed another cow for me last night, at least one calf bitten up. Trapper on his way and we'll set up tonight yet.

    When this pack is gone you can send donations for saving a few moose and caribou to yours truly. haha

    I would think that an innovative free thinker such as yourself would have a supplier of 1080..

    How many cattle have you lost over the last 5 years do you figure?

    348 head have not come home since 2003. Some have died of other causes for sure. 2007 saw them all come home. Last year was 25 calves and 8 cows, this year we are nearly in and short 16 calves and 5 cows so far. 10 pairs and 10 bulls still out. Most of our neighbors have the same kind of loss percentages. It will total in the neighborhood of 100 head in the Anahim Lake area this year. Cows come home and most of the wolves either die or go to live off moose and caribou til next year's buffet is set. Thinking they will be more of a winter problem over the next years as wildlife supplies dwindle.

    Traps work better in the right hands.

    Just curious have you found cows in the spring or the next year that you thought were lost? Could they survive the winter if there were no wolves? I'm assuming that cows left out in the dead of winter with the current population of wolves are pretty much sitting ducks?
