Wonder how many go by way of the two legged variety that are indigenous to the region?

Right on, protect what is yours, its bad enough wolves kill a lot of wildlife but stock is a whole new issue. Tough animal to trap, but a good trapper will get them, wishin you good luck!! Let us know how it goes.

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

SOB's

[QUOTE=LBM;1945677]So what do you think was different in 2007.
You have mentioned before that your trapper gets the whole pack but you continue to have problems. So is it more just like one large mass of wolves in your area and just like sub packs or small groups that break off that are caught. How far are these new packs coming from that come into your area. Does any one else do any thing in surrounding areas.[QUOTE]

I have friends that successfully snare wolves in Alberta and they will clean out a pack, getting 20 - 30 each winter. by the following winter there are as many if not more back in the area. I have spoken to others who have the same experiences in Alberta. I think there are more wolves than deer and moose now where I hunt - at least there are more tracks.

Typical rancher, always with the hand out.

I hope you are a rancher with a wry sense of humour.

That must really put a dent in the family income... makes it hard to stay profitable.

I wonder if the costs of a full-time ranger rider and pack of guardian dogs would be less than your losses?

[RadHimself]

Start dumpin tainted bodies like they used to do in the 50’s and 60’s.... let’m burn

[Linksman313]

Terrible to hear about your losses Gcreek, buddies of mine down the road from you having issues as well, call up those "entitled" boys in their Tracker to help out maybe?

Hunting in Williams lake riski creek area 14 years back we took a massive brown phase blackie that was munching down on a farmers cow up the strouse road. I would imagine bears take a few cattle from you as well as wolves do they not?

If you think wolf numbers are affecting wild game numbers, then you would hopefully be smart enough to understand that Ranchers hold Ace. Hunters will never be listened too when we say wolf populations need to be managed, controlled, culled whatever because we are simply blood thirsty killers. Ranchers however are a huge industry in this province, they have the ear of the government no matter who is in power and if we can work with them we just might get somewhere.

348 cows/calves is a big pile of money lost, how big is your herd?

Oh Man ... there's somethings you just don't ask a rancher ...
