Federal Sharpshooters to Start Aerial Wolf Killing in Idaho

[red dog 1]

31. For some more perspective (which you seem to be lacking)

From your "Sun Journal" article by V. Paul Reynolds

Mr. Reynolds writes that "In 1989, according to Idaho wildlife officials, there was an elk population of 17,000"..
..According to WHICH Idaho officials?
Why doesn't he name them?

Mr Reynolds goes on to say:
"Biologist David Cadwallader, who manages wildlife for the Lolo region, estimates today's elk population at just 2200."
Who does David Cadwallader work for?
Is he a biologist for the state of Idaho?
Is he a biologist working for the federal government?
Is he estimating the elk population for the Clearwater National Forest?

There is no way to verify any of this...go up on Google and all you get are references back to this "Sun Journal" article....No Other Sources!

Also, you seem to forget that this isn't just some large remote area in Idaho, with cattle & sheep ranches etc, this is a National Forest, and whatever the elk population is there. it does not come under the regulations and purview of the state of Idaho anyway.

You might want to get yourself more informed.
