Public Hearing On Idaho Emergency Wolf Bill HCR043

We need to gather supporters who can come and testify.

Hearing will be Tuesday, March 2, 2010, at the Boise State Capitol Building, Room EW40 {East Wing 40} at 8:30 AM.

Please attend and give your testimony to support the Legislature in defining the current population and status of wolves in Idaho, a condition of emergency.

If passed, this Bill will equip the Governor with Legislative support to stand with the people of the State of Idaho to preserve our big game, secure our livestock producers and protect our people.

Thanks and we hope to see you there.

Sincerely,
Tony Mayer
Rick Mayer

Rex Rammell, candidate for Idaho Governor, in an email exchange about this bill, told me, “I would love to have this resolution in hand as Idaho’s governor. I would declare an emergency and order wolves killed!”

Plan to attend this meeting. It sounds like it could be very interesting, in addition that it is an extremely important bill that relates to many, many Idaho citizens.

A Warning To Outdoor Users About Echinococcus, From Worms

by

Tom Remington

This is a warning to outdoor users about a potentially deadly biological event that could result from one’s curiosity to poke at and kick through scat from wolves, coyotes and foxes. Of course not everyone knowingly does this but many hunters, trappers and simply the curious, want to know what these animals have been eating.

All I need is a digital picture in any PC compatible format and a description of the picture.  You can make the description as long or short as you would like.  If there is a story behind the picture we would love to hear about it.

Wolf Protectors Uncloak Greed, Reveal Irrational Behavior

Sportsmen across Idaho this morning are claiming some sort of victory in the ongoing wolf debate, as hunters will take to the field with the hopes of bagging a wolf. Yesterday’s hearing in federal court, aimed at putting an emergency halt to the wolf hunt, ended without a decision from Judge Donald Molloy. He promised a quick ruling. While people wait, hunters are taking advantage of the situation and heading afield.

But in the court room yesterday, the plaintiffs, a group of 13 environmentalists fighting against the wolf hunts, openly displayed their greed when the lawyer for Earthjustice told Judge Molloy that there needed to be 3,000 to 5,000 wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains region before they would consider the reintroduction a success. He didn’t say they would deem it a success. He said they would consider it a success. This has been part of the problem from the onset. 3,000 to 5,000 wolves is a far cry from the original claim that 300 wolves would do the trick. The environmentalists just keep moving the goal posts further away. Read more

Idaho Elk Industry Wants Clarification Of Support From Safari Club International

Since 2006 I have spent countless hours researching and writing, seeking the truth behind efforts in Idaho to destroy a perfectly good domestic elk industry. The effort is ongoing and very unfortunate.

There have been two issues used by those determined to end raising elk for livestock – high-fence hunting and disease. One thing is for sure. There is never a resolve when a discussion comes up about fair chase and hunting ethics. There are those who have determined that hunting inside a fenced-in area, regardless of its size, is wrong and violates their standards of fair chase hunting ethics. On the other side, there are those who take no issue with it, whether they do it themselves or not. Is this reason to destroy an industry? Some think so.

Disease is the second issue. In Idaho’s case, it’s really a non issue because in the 20 years the domestic elk industry has been in existence, there has never been a diseased animal. Guidelines are stringent as well as testing and the practices employed seem to have an incredible track record. Read more
