A wild wolf beloved by wolf watchers and biologists who visit Yellowstone National Park has been shot dead by a hunter.
The 7-year-old female wolf, known to scientists as Lamar Canyon Wolf Pack member 926F, had wandered just outside Yellowstone last weekend and was legally killed by a trophy hunter.
I support hunting. We have a term for hunters like this up here: slob hunters. Most are not like this.
Trophy hunting, for which the hunter paid an enhanced fee, is now slob hunting? I usually reserve that for those who road hunt, litter, overshoot their limit, etc.
The problem is this: Montana has a cull season, tightly monitored, for wolves so their are two choices: allow people to pay a high fee to participate with the money offsetting other costs or do like some states do, which is to pay professionals to do it. The end result is the same for the wolves, X are removed from the population. One way generates revenue the other incurs costs.
In most cases, trophy hunters do more for animal habitat preservation than everyone in PETA combined.
