Just wait until the enviro-whackadoodles get their way and introduce wolves back in Georgia!
Read an article in the doctor's office (I think it was the Sierra Club Magazine) about the "success stories" regarding the re-introduction of wolves in Idaho and Wyoming. Now, these same folks responsible for that debacle want to ensure that all areas of the South that used to be habitat for the red wolf, are again saturated with the canids. Of course, we know about the wolf sanctuary in eastern North Carolina, but imagine if the Oconee National Forest, Okefenokee Swamp and large forts, like Benning, Stewart and Gordon, were to become home to packs of these deer killing machines. Do you think they will stay on their "assigned areas?" (hint: ask Idaho elk and deer hunters)
There is a huge fight going on in Colorado right now between sportsmen's groups and wolf proponents. Fish and Wildlife, with support from numerous vocal environmental groups, is determined to introduce wolves into the Rocky Mountain National Park to control the burgeoning elk heard. They claim that there are so many elk that they may have to resort to HUNTING (horrors) to reduce the population. Of course Colorado's hunters believe, with justification, that the wolves won't stay in the park, and will soon have a negative effect on the state's famous elk heard (again, see Idaho).
This fight is just beginning. It will soon spread to all areas to the country that at one time in history had a population of wolves -- which means all areas of the country!
Frankly, I think ranchers in Wyoming have the best idea for wolf management in that state: shoot, shovel and shut up!
