Wolf sighting on Santiam pass in Oregon
DanaM:
Was just reading the local newspaper and the DNR and Fish &Wildlife service are offering up a $3000 reward
for informationleading to the arrest and conviction of whoever shot a wolf. This is the second incident since October here in the UP.
In both incidents the wolves were wearing radio collars. If folks are taking matters into their own hands and are willing to shot a collared
wolf think how many uncollared wolves are being shot! Unfortunately their is no plan in place to control the population which is estimated at 520
wolves. Of course they are presently listed as an endangered species so the State can do nothing. Even when their delisted I really don't expect any
real control measures from the State, they may kill an occasional wolf and claim they are taking care of the problem but in reality the only real control will be
folks taking matters into their own hands. As in BANG dead wolf. The wolf issue will continue to be a political issue and not a management issue its just
the way the world is today :(

It seems to be the third S that they have a hard time with.
Dana, $3000 is cheap. the fine will cover that easily. I know 2 guys that got fined $15000 each for shooting a wild horse. Another guy here in town got fined $3000 for hitting a desert tortoise in his truck. They said he swerved and hit it on purpose.
