shoot,shovel,shut up is the key.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions here, which is what makes it the great place that it is.
However, I would like to point out not only the potential penalties such as fines, jailtime, and/or loss of hunting priveledges and property, I would urge fellow sportsmen to consider what damage that does to our public image. I would also remind folks that such posts are incriminating should one ever be implicated with such a shooting.
Whether we like it or not, hunting, fishing, and gun-control will likely be topics that are ultimately settled by a primarily non-hunting public. Not to mention, it severely damages the possibility of us actually being able to hunt this population of wolves responsibly as Ruger pointed out.
As many of you know, I’m an avid turkey hunter that curses deer up and down all spring. How would most of you feel if I shot, shoveled, and shutup to suit my immediate needs as a turkey hunter?
Whether we feel wolves evolved to deserve a place on this planet or not, hopefully we can agree that taking fish/game laws into our own hands makes us no better than lawbreakers that selectively pick/choose which regulations they intend to follow on a particular day.
Thanks for listening,
Joel
