If you watch a wolf kill your livestock and you don’t shoot the wolf because of some law, you’re a pussyy Agree. I couldn't care less about what the feds or state say on the issue. Or really any issue as it may relate to my farm. I'll kill, grow, make, hire and do whatever I want. ? Who is this really? Osky

Mac, you really need to edit the title of this thread.
The article clearly shows $160,000 which is $160K, not $160M, big difference there.
I thought some Cali nut had fell down and bumped their head when I saw $160M caused by one wolf. But $160K is a lot more believable over the lifetime of the wolf.

I felt shame for my comment, it was out of line. Sat in the sin bin for 2 and came out with a new look on things. God bless all his children.

Once they’re habituated, they gotta be killed, relocation won’t work. Same with losing livestock. I’ve said it before, but if there’s wolves in the area and you haven’t lost livestock, best to leave ‘em be. Kill them off and the new ones may not be so nice. Once you lose one animal, they generally all have to go. I’m pretty good at armchair quarterbacking, but my fall back when I’m wrong is “every wolf/pack is different”…….. Which is true, nothings written in stone. Here’s a warning put out up in Yellowknife earlier this year…. https://cabinradio.ca/217436/news/e...-warns-of-wolf-sightings-in-yellowknife/

They ranch in wild country?? Maybe they should ranch in the suburbs or parks and golf courses and the wolf promoters go live wild and free in the wild country I find it funny when the wildlife agencies are supposed to count every animal in an area to set hunting quota's but the self promoters dont have to come up with any population studies or impact statements

However "M" is the Roman numeral for 1000. I'm rather simple minded so I'll stick with 160M is One Hundred Sixty Thousands.

However "M" is the Roman numeral for 1000. I'm rather simple minded so I'll stick with 160M is One Hundred Sixty Thousands. Well, you are technically correct but that is not the way most folks think so it is confusing. The most common abbreviation for 1000 is "K". This abbreviation comes from the Greek word "kilo", which means thousand. It's commonly used in financial and statistical contexts to represent large numbers. For example, instead of writing "1,000", you can write "1K". The most common abbreviation for 1,000,000 (one million) is "M".

I got kicked twice this week working cows. Cows aren't that lethal lol Did you get kicked in the head twice? A kick to a wolf from a cow is head high, if you got kicked anywhere else it's two entirely different things. And a "stop bothering me man" kick is different from a survival kick defending its life A a cattle guy I'm sure you're well aware of the difference.
Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand

Only in CA. Have read or even seen on TV where bicyclists were attacked by mountain lions in the hills of CA. Funny how the blame is always the bicyclist's fault, never the animal. The people were invading the animal's territory, or they startled the animal into attacking. One said the attack was a young male who had never encountered humans before. They place the life of an animal over that of a human. The solution is if they had a hunting season on these lions, they would become more wary of humans and stay away from them.
More and more when I go anywhere I find myself keeping track of where the nearest rest room is.

The old saying, sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you. We're fooling around on their turf. Now I've got this thief sporting an earring to deal with. I'm going to start packing a little more heat next time. I sent this to the sergeant in my area asking why they didn't just whack this jerk.....lol. Whatever, he's trying to find a new home and I'll do my best to keep him at bay, but between me and the local farmers around, he's gonna be a dead bear in short order. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/04/full-56418-256383-bear.jpg)
