This pisses me off to no end. How can one judge put the wolf back on the endangerd list. In the U.P. of Michigan. residence there are having it tough because there are so many wolves. For one, The deer population has gone to shit. So there are a lot less people going up there to deer hunt. Hurting local business. Bear hunters using dogs have had there dogs killed by wolves. Farmers loosing livestock to wolves. The much anticipated moose hunting opportunities have been all but forgotten because the moose numbers have crumbled because of the wolves.
What happens when theres nothing left but wolves?
Michigan had its first wolf hunt 2 years ago and killed 23 wolves. Last years hunt was canceled because of outside idiots.
Last year the MDNR radiao collard 15 does. In less the 4 months, All 15 does were killed by wolves.
Its hard to believe how fast they can populate. The MDNR says there are at least 700 wolves in the U.P. Local clubs say there are many more then that.
Populations need to be controlled by the state. Not some idiot sitting behind a desk that don't have a clue whats going on.
Wolves have been seen as far back as 2002 in lower Michigan. Soon they will be in Ohio, Breeding like cats.
What you guys think about wolves and there population control?

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Thursday reinstated protections under the federal Endangered Species Act for the gray wolf in Wisconsin and nearby states after a federal judged in December struck down the agency's decision to remove protections.
The agency's actions apply to Wyoming, as well as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and portions of North and South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
There are substantial populations of wolves in Wyoming, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.
The Fish and Wildlife Service removed federal protections for gray wolves in 2012 and turned over management — and decisions on how to control their burgeoning populations — to states.
But for years before the agency's action, wolves have been at the center of a debate about the appropriate level of protection for the animals.
In December, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., ruled that the removal by the agency was "arbitrary and capricious" and violates the Endangered Species Act.
Thursday's action by the agency officially reinstates protections for the wolf.
The state's wolf hunting season ended before the judge's ruling. The most recent wolf hunting and trapping season ended with 154 wolves registered, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
Last week, U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble, a Green Bay Republican, introduced legislation that would restore wolves to their former unprotected status.
