Well now-- is that a new type of lead alloy or powder ?(Compound 1080) Maybe combination of both!

DJ,
1080 (aka, sodium monofluoracetate) is worth a google and you'll find it was used for years in drop baits for coyote control. One thing's for sure, it isn't naturally occuring. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but the LD50 for wolves has to be some astronomical amount of toxin and a single dose would pose quite a threat to just more than wolves. I guess someone up there just doesn't like wildlife. Imagine that.

This kind of stuff is only going to get worse, I think. Too many peoples livelyhoods at stake.

It's so simple, and of course, the Bureaucrats can't figure it out. Allow them to be hunted as a predator outside of sanctuaries. Same thing as the California lion issue. (don't get me started)
This country may yet be divided. There is such a chasm between liberals and conservatives, Dems and Republicans, that I don't see how we can co-exist much longer without them sanctimonious bastards voting away our rights and our way of life.
Hopefully, I won't live to see it.

Leonard,
I agree, Like a good friend of mine from Indiana, Dr. Bob Wendt, told me a couple months ago. " Steve, you and I are going to die just in time". I hate to say it, but he is right.

I hunted elk north of Yellow Pine in the Frank Church in 1999,wonderful elk habitat ruined by wolves.The few elk that were left stayed up in the rocks and wouldn't bugle in the best part of the rut.Also no spike elk. I figured the older bulls ran them off during the rut and made them easy kills for the wolves.Found 3 kills in one drainage alone.Locals told of 3 to 350 horse trailers before wolves during elk season .We counted 15 groups of hunters in 99.I'm surprised there isn't more wolves found dead.The west needs a wolf season.
