[Stone Sheep Steve]

[Steeleco]

Wow there's a lot hugger that don't think much of the Boo!!

[Gunner]

It is absolutely spellbinding to see the kind of imbeciles that frequent the CBC!Wolves are cute,caribou are not so screw them.Besides it's all the fault of the oilsands anyways,shut them down and the balance of nature will be restored!Because like Walt Disney said so and that must be right dude. Gunner

[Spy]

We have lots of work to do! Wow those comments are out of touch, lets hit this poll hard

[bigslim]

A vast majority of those against a predator cull have less than 0% clue of the big picture. Amazing how loud the voice is of the uninformed!!!
We are fighting an uphill battle for sure

[one-shot-wonder]

No poll that I could see on the page.....just rediculous comments at the bottom???

It's about 6" below the purty woof picture, on the left hand side.

[RiverOtter]

Pretty good cross section of the world in general; f'n clueless....

[iwing]

Im working at the Oilsands right now and everyone sees alot more wolfs and wolf tracks than caribou. and the oil sands provide such huge economic returns that the huggers can get F****ed. Oil development will be here until there is no more oil in the ground.

[BlacktailStalker]

If everyone one on HBC voted, we would smash the poll.

[silvicon]

Every day I am surpriced on how f-ing stupid people are!
I read the first line of two comments on the wolf survey and am angery already.
It is a cbc survery. after all!

[Nait Hadya]

we are gaining on the yuppie facebook crowd.

[one-shot-wonder]

It's about 6" below the purty woof picture, on the left hand side.

[ratherbefishin]

With the recent court ruling giving orcas prior claim on chinook salmon-the precident has been set-preditors will take precidence.I expect the next step will be a demand for a moratorium on hunting moose, caribou, deer ,elk and moose while they ''study'' it

[Ridge-Runner]

And in Alberta it seems like the Outfitter's are against this "senseless slaughter" ..........what the

Don't forget you can vote from your smart phone as well esentially doubling your vote.

[walks with deer]

Kill the wolves ..

not all but you would never get them all

[guest]

Yet again another pathetic attempt by the media that for certain cannot provide any scientific information that will prove what part the wolf and G bear do to the Caribou Population.

Man has disrupted the enite eco system, be it housing, industry, hunting, development, etc etc the list goes on .

All wildlife needs to be managed to some degree, and what is showing is that what is present is not working ........ period. Hunting, wolves, disruption of habitat are not the sole reasons for the loss of Caribou. Man and predator alike are to blame ....... Predators must be managed more affectively,

This includes a more effective Wolf Kill Program in specific area's.

Thanks Swampcreek, I posted this on 2 ag forums I belong to and have a lot of support both here and in the US.

Looks like it isn't hard to find a nimrod behind just about any bush nowadays.

[moose2]

It is good to see some more yes votes on this one. The gap is definately getting smaller over the last couple days.

[arcadia]

Done. One more yes.

I've been pushing the cowboys on the other sites. It is only a menial poll but would be neat for us to whip the anti's for once.

[Spy]

Anyone put it on Alberta Outdoors?

[Singleshotneeded]

Yup, get your wolf cull "yes" vote recorded!

[hunter1947]

Sounds like oil is more important then the caribou ,as for lots of aunties I gave my vote..

[Scouter Bear]

The Wolves pictured on the site look so nice and cute. Yes I just voted. The poll right now are 41.22% for the Yes and 56.26% for the No. Yes I do believe the wolves should be culled to help the balance.

[hunter1947]

I once was told by an old trapper that I had a chance to trap with he James Hatter said to me wolves are like rodents we won't get rid of all but we can control them...

[bowhunterbruce]

x2 on that

[Rock Doctor]

Well, I put my 4 votes in for the good guys

RD

[uraarchr]

Definitely cull!Wolves are like vermin.They will always come back and rebound.32000 sounds like a lot of caribou but there are pockets where the caribou are almost all gone

[GoatGuy]

We have the same issues with declining caribou and exploding wolf populations and we have no oil in many of those places.

[olharley guy]

Howdy, I was checking out Gun Nutz on there poll line - seems there are a few misinformed people on that website about wolf problems - told them all to get busy and vote for the cull if they want their offsprings to be able to do a little hunting and enjoy the outdoors. Later

[Livewire322]

"I believe that if nothing else a cull should be introduced, I would however rather see longer open seasons on wolves with NBL (no bag limit) placed on them. Anyone who says wolves aren't a problem in this province is truly blind to what happens outside of their cosy city condiminums!"
is my comment
Don't be afraid to comment on the article as well boys

[magnumjeff]

maybe we should get the leaf lickers to guard the caribou from the wolves

[ve7iuq]

What is meant by cull?
I have an idea it means no, or few restrictions on hunters to shoot them. If this is the case, the wholle thing is meaningless, because hunters can not keep an over population of wolves in check.
The ultimate cull is a poisoning program, like the great one in BC in the 1950s, that lasted several years. But this will never happen again.

[sako_300]

all we need to do is ask our friends in Montana how much they like our BC wolves...

Are you saying there is a bag limit and season for wolves? ;-) ;-) news to me.

[bowhunterbruce]

getting closer guys,we are now at 45.75% of the vote to the yes. considering we came into this at 16% id say we are comming on strong but still behind.

Alberta is poisoning, aerial gunning and several counties have bounties on wolves. A friend of mine at Manning is getting $250 per wolf, the next county over is paying $500.
Our MOE so far thinks it is doing great by training a few trappers and opening a NCS-NBL in a small portion of the province. AS CS stated above, I wasn't aware of a limit before......

I was gong by BC, prior to the big wolf buildup that caused the poisning program, starting in 1951.
There was NCS NBL forever, and a bounty of $25 per wolf. This was more money in the pocket than $250 today. A man working in the bush was making about 8-10 dollars a day.

It looks like we made it SSS I just checked and we are a few percent ahead now. That was good to see.

[bowhunterbruce]

thats pretty cool that we got to 50.43% of the vote.
what seems really odd is the fact that now we are ahead they have closed down the ability to comment part of the poll.
now i wonder why that is, any idea guys and girls?

[OutWest]

I keep logging on and off the school computers here to keep racking up votes. 2 hour spare coming up and I know how I'll be spending it :)

Yea - Next they will close the poll because of too much YES vote !

[OutWest]

52% - Yes
46% - No
2% - Not sure

Nice work fellas.

[gcreek]

Think we can get it to 60%?

[olharley guy]

Think we can get it to 60%?

Howdy, put up another post on Gun Nutz on the poll part and tell them what they do to the cattle etc. I think there is a lot of people that don't quite understand what is going on. Lots of members-lots of votes. Later

[The Dude]

Anyone using Firefox, copy the link to the poll. (Right Click COPY, or CTRL C), then get the drop-down menu "Firefox", upper left.
Choose "Start Private Browsing"
It will have a message on a blank page. PASTE the link into the address window or click in it, and hit CTRL V.
Hit RETURN.
The CBC website doesn't know you've voted. Use this for voting for your Spouse, et from the same comp. Works once a day or so, as far as I can tell. I voted for me, my girl, and my son.

[bowhunterbruce]

Think we can get it to 60%?
i'd rather see 75%

[gcreek]

53.28 at 7 this morning.

[OutWest]

Done classes at 11 today. I can get 3 votes a minute in on the school computers. I'll pump a bunch more yes votes into the system.

Have fun almost 54% now

[steel_ram]

All this for a CBC poll? I'm sure a pole could be skewed either way. Just depends who has more time to waste.
