[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 406783, member: 983"] Even in WY, I'd not be surprised to see some change of law after this fiasco. The more I have seen (videos, etc.), the more it pisses me off. Do that with a deer, elk, antelope, heck even bear and I don't think it would be accepted like it was a wolf. I think after the fact, people are trying to say universally that it was not right. But in the moment, there would be a lot of folks saying "its just a wolf (or coyote)". While we've come a long ways as a hunting society, the shoot on sight attitude of past of predators still haunts us today. There are only 5 of 100 Americans that hunt today. This event resonates terribly beyond the antis......every single person who sees this thinks its pathetic and it reflects on all hunters. Was this guy a hunter? No, he was a moron. But he's connected to all of us. I'm too lazy to look up the exact quote, but someone said this is likely to significantly hinder wolf management in WY and other western states in the future. That will have lasting impact on big game hunting in all western states. I have no idea how stupid someone could be, but there is a special type out there I guess. [/QUOTE]
