Interesting Scent Smoker Customer

If you were a rancher in MT, WY, or ID and were suffering losses, would you just handle the situation as best you could? I don't think I'd worry about anyone getting upset - I'm pretty sure I'd cut lose on 'em. Then again, I suppose there is a reason they have not already been exterminated... probably pretty closely monitored with a lot of radio collars and such. I just have a hard time believing those ranchers aren't shooting everyone they see on sight.

Radio collars would tie nicely under a semi trailer......just saying.
 
Pretty cool this contact has passed on some incredible info like that. Will be interesting to hear how the Scent Smoker works in his situation. I have been wondering too if you have many bear hunters who have tried it and how things turned out. Often thought smelling like hickory might give a bear the idea there is some BBQ up in the tree LOL!

From what i read collars don't stop them. I read a thing once where they said they released 20 something Mexican wolves in Colorado or somewhere and in one year all but two were shot.
 
This is very interesting stuff. The fact that they eat the bears in the winter just blows my mind and the fact they can destroy a bison does TOO.

I was reading on another site where they had said that about the bears. They said when things got really desperate the wolves would actually dig them out of their dens and kill them. I know it sounded crazy to me TOO.
