Elk, Wolves, Montanans, Oh My!

From Van (see article below)...

"How does this effect elk toss? Does this mean people seen tossing elk could also be shot? We may want to make a disclaimer in future emails that anyone tossing an elk may be shot by a Montanan. That said, many people dream of one day being shot by a Montanan. I do."


Montana: Governor Approves Killing Wolves
February 16, 2011

(AP) Gov. Brian Schweitzer says the state will defy federal protections for gray wolves and kill packs that have been hurting elk herds. Mr. Schweitzer said Tuesday that he was encouraging livestock owners north of Interstate 90 to shoot wolves that harass their animals. The governor, who is fed up with litigation that has kept the wolves on the endangered list even as their population has swelled, says game wardens will stop investigating wolf shootings in that part of the state.
