Thread: Grizzly bears in Ontario???

It isn't about "Wolves" it is about the Introduction of a Non-Native Subspecies to the US where they never existed before

This was done for several reasons but now we are paying the price of not enough forethought


As to management,,, The agreement before ID accepted the introduction was that once the wolf population reached 200 wolves that limited hunting would be allowed
Of course, that was taken to court and the population way exceeded the 200 by more the 6x before hunting began
The Wolf groups tried to include the Introduced wolves under the Endangered Species Acts which was one of the reasons the Mackenzie subspecies was used so that it would not be protected

As you can see there is way more to the story

The wolves are flourishing way past the numbers expected, and now have moved into WA OR and CO they are apex predators and way better at killing then the original subspecies


We are also having a similar issue with the Griz in our area but that is totally caused by mismanagement and the over prosecution of laws.
There is actually talk of a hunting season for Griz in ID now
