Poachers are running amuck in the West’s “oil patches,” and all we hear about are loser hunters who blame wolves.
What the hell is wrong with these peabrains? They never see the real threat. It might also be that the media facilitates their tales, but I’m only half convinced of that argument

And they take the wolf to court. Over and over… Now whin about poachers that have been doing this for years. Hello, have they ever had a clue. Oh, yes and the numbers.
We can control the wildlife.
That’s it! Just whin about the poachers…
Its what I’ve said a number of times, if we could cut poaching by half we would have to chase deer and elk off our front porches with a broom. And contrary to what the article says the black market in meat is probably bigger than the horn industry, its just harder to track.
