Hunter parks with wolf on the roof at Square

By Mike Koshmrl, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
October 18, 2013

Bill Addeo swears he didn’t park an SUV with a dead wolf strapped to the roof on the Town Square just for the attention.

Addeo sat on a bench next to his Ford Excursion across the street from the Cowboy bar Thursday afternoon, eager to answer questions posed by folks passing by.

“It’s a neck shot,” Addeo said. “The bottom of the neck is blown apart and there’s blood everywhere, so I didn’t want to put him in the back.”

<snip>

Because Addeo was hunting in Wyoming’s wolf predator zone, where there are virtually no rules, a license was not necessary. The free-fire zone encompasses about 85 percent of the state. The southern edge of the zone starts in Wilson, just south of Highway 22, for about half the year.

Addeo could have shot all five wolves if he had the opportunity. The other four packmates, however, scampered off.

1. There have been and still should be

laws about public display of dead wildlife. As for wolves, state and federal wildlife agencies should have the authority to issue permits and manage wildlife populations...it isn't the 19th century and there are actual scientists who study these things now days..

2. What a sickening man!

I've been donating to help save wolves...you can or should try to do the same if possible. It's a good cause. We need wolves to keep an ecological balance. They are shooting the Alpha Males and females too...destroying the hierarchy of the whole pack...killing females with babies...killing the babies too. DISGUSTING! Makes me sick!

3. the packmates "scampered" off? like children playing a game?

Who writes this shit, anyway. How about, "bolted for their lives?"

4. If the delisting happens it would be another of this administration's spectacular failures

5. They will do NOTHING

unfortunately. Look at the appointment of Salazar as an example. His replacement has also been a great disappointment.

6. As with all corporate politicians, the concepts of "wilderness" and "wildness" elude them...
