Is that a serious comment?
Something tells me you have no clue what your talking about, and you got all your information from (insert your favorite influencer). Spend some time in the woods and form your own thoughts.
If a wolf was charging me lol. holy smokes. You sound like someone who has zero experience hunting in a habitat around wolves or grizzly's.

The wealthy anti-hunters want to stop hunting.
The wealthy hunters want to stop plebs from hunting, they want to privatize public lands, and build ridiculous trophy rooms full of sheep in homage to their fortunes.
So yeah it’s hard to drum up lots of funds for growing and protecting herds on public lands.
Probably gonna send this thread into the ditch so apologies but I was completely disappointed but not surprised by Donny T Jr. he was given the largest platform imaginable but instead of taking the Steve Rinella approach he appealed only to his base and quickly got written off for mud slinging and posting stupid crap on social media. What an opportunity squandered.
I keep saying it would help with some of our recreation impacts….

Wolves can’t go near pivots on private?

There's nothing wrong with "natural" migration...wolves, grizzlies, wild hogs etc. It's the nimrods that think they need to force the relocation by planting certain animals in an un-natural method. Let it occur in a natural way.

I think you're nailing a big part of the issue, not all for sure, but the majority of wealthy hunters live in a different world than the rest of us, they won't run out of opportunity in their lifetime because they can write the check for whatever experience they want, to some extent they are in direct opposition to the interest of the general hunting public because they can tilt regs and allocations in their favor, using money to generate more opportunity, more outfitter tags, more exclusive areas...
there really isn't an incentive for the wealthy hunter to help out the everyman at their own expense, and in a lot of cases the average public land DIY guy probably makes it even less appealing, taking every opportunity to sling mud at someone with more means using it to improve their hunting, when, in I would bet almost all cases, they would be doing the exact same thing if they could afford it...
In all honesty the hunting community looks like the current political situation, we have the ends of the bell curve shouting so loud about things like wolves and team Cam Hanes or team Matt Rinella that the much larger majority in the middle that just wants access to wild places and wild things is completely drowned out...
No, I think there is something wrong with the "natural" movements of wild hogs...
We (as humans) are the reason wolves were absent from CO in the first place. Their extirpation was anything but natural. Trying to reestablish populations in their native range with released animals + natural migration is probably an ideal scenario for long-term population persistence. Only speeding up the inevitable. My issues with it are the fact it was done through the legislature, largely by people who have no personal stake in the potential effects. Clearly neither of those concerns were enough to stop it.

They’re there. Seen em with my own two eyes on turners near Retard Point. And still, there’s a butt-ton of elk….
I’m glad Colorado reintroduced…

Why are you glad?They’re there. Seen em with my own two eyes on turners near Retard Point. And still, there’s a butt-ton of elk….

And where in the "mountains" do you hunt elk, where there are wolves and post-rut "rifle season" bull elk, much less a "butt ton"?
Retard point is private property.

I thought I pointed that part out last time!
I said near retard point, everyone hits that ag field bordering greycliff and watches across the highway, like you’ve pointed out. That’s where I saw the wolves, and the elk.As for the question, I’m unsure what you’re asking? Rifle season, post rut, butt tons of elk where there’s also wolves? Shoot, I’ve been up skunk creek and seen wolves, Jackson creek, even hyalite as far as “mountains”…
I don’t see how the “mountain” part has much merit… like I asked Art, what does elk hanging on private land near pivots have to do with wolves being present?
Edit: I’m glad because unlike the 385,000 people born every day across the world, they belong….
