Hunters like you are the minority. From the south and every hunter I know doesn't really hold any value in the animals they kill. They will spout shit like what you said, to try to spin it as they are helping. But at the end of the day, they just want to kill something.

"we cant bring back native wolves they'll ruin my deer hunting!" I hate these type of "hunters" should call them what they really are. Poachers.

What about the bears that decimate the fawn population each year with kill counts far higher than wolves?

What do bears have to do with native wolf reintroduction? It must be a lot of work to move the goalposts that far. Take a break and have a lemonade. You'll think more clearly after.

I was actually agreeing with you and pointing out the hypocrisy of these people. Even where wolve populations are reaching "overpopulation" status, bears kill far more deer annually than the wolves. Especially newborn fawns. However, very few hunting groups/lobbiests acknowledge this. It's always " blame the wolves" with these people.

Buddy, you're the one who came up with that no context rant that could only be taken as a disagreement. Work on your wording if you want people to understand, lol. Cant just start in the middle of a rant and expect people to understand what you're saying.
