Nice post Hillbilly, not much to add to that.

Well put Hillbilly, this has been a fun discussion.. it is cool to hear the opinions of other hunters from other areas..... although we may disagree concerning the reintroduction or what will fix the problem, it is always good to see fellow sportsmen standing up for what they believe in 8) Hawk

DanaM:
Here's a link to the website that has been studying the wolf and moose population on Isle Royal in Lake Superiorfor 50 years.
Its a unique situation as its an island and the only major prey is the moose. I guess you could say its a static ecosystem.

Titan_Bow:
 I really think there are some more sinister motives to these re-introductions.  Here in CO there has been a battle raging over what to do with the elk in Rocky Mountain National Park.  A bill was passed and a plan put forward, but it was put on hold because a lawsuit was brought forward because the idea of wolf re-introduction was not brought up.  Theres a group in Boulder that used to be called Sinapu, but seems they changed there name to WildEarth Guardians...  they have stated time and time again that they want to introduce wolves and grizzlies in CO with one motive to end sport hunting.  Their belief is that if enough wolves and other predators are there, we dont need hunting as a management tool. 
  I spend alot of time in the high country as well, and I do not have anything against wolves, but I think there is alot more motive to these introductions than just the warm fuzzy of bringing the wolf back....

we have been fighting that same battle for years... a rancher friend of mine saw a helicopter landing on his ranch.. the feds were releasing wolves on his private ground right in his calving area ::) when they were caught they denied knowing they were in the wrong.. Hawk
