Don't know if any of ya'll have heard about this yet, but the owner of Buffalo Bore Ammunition, Tim Sundles, had federal charges filed against him last week. They're accusing him of attempting to poison wolves, all this stems from his self defense shooting of a wolf in Idaho about 4 years ago I guess. Check out his website at http://www.natureswolves.com for details of the case and his legal defense fund. Personally, it seems to me like the feds are trying to railroad him, but that's just my personal opinion of course.

You have to understand where the feds come from. Liberal, gay loving, tree hugging, rainbow flag flying, envro whackos!

I am on his side. If they can't beat him legally you can bet on what they will try to beat him. He did nothing wrong, and if he killed some wolves, whoop ti shitin do!

...what kudu said.

I don't know the details of his case but just looking at his website it looks like the guy is a complete WHACK JOB!

He seems just as far out there as the left wing extremists like ALF or PETA. But here's to free speech I guess!

Whatever happened to the 3 S rule?

Several years ago someone set out poison, apparently intended for wolves, and ended up killing several pet dogs. The dog owners made a big stink about it, making sure it got reported and investigated.

Regardless of where you stand on the wolf issue, you probably wouldn't like it if someone were setting out poison in your neighborhood.

If someone shot a wolf in self defense, it's unlikely that an Idaho jury would find him guilty, but even an Idaho jury is not going to feel sympathy for someone who poisons pets.

...my feelings on dogs and poison. If the dogs were out walking with their owners and got into it that is one thing. But if the dog was out by himself just having a good old time at some deers expense and found it that's his problem...and that goes for my dog also. Neither dogs or cats have any business off the property of their owner nor out of their owners control when walking off thier property. I've lost livestock, chickens, had my pets killed or raped...all because of jerks who think their animals have the right to run free...

I'll run off a stray animal the first time I see them on my property and contact the owner if I can find them...the next time they come uninvited they are staying...as fertilizer.

Wolves...should be treated just like a coyote.

dont wanna sound like a jack ass but ummmmmm how the heck did your pet get raped .......... i now you huys love animals but hey ummmmmm thats going to far ........

If wolves are treated just like the coyote we will have a bigger problem (if you believe wolves are a problem) than we have now. Coyotes seem to have a physiological mechanism in the female which increases litter size as density decreases. Also, as the number of wolves increase, the number of coyotes decrease, all of the wolf mortality is not necessarily additive.....

This guy is full of shit, a freaking whacko if you ask me. From the sounds of things, he is a freeman type, and his story about the attack sounds like a bunch of bullshit. There is a reason why this guy wouldn't agree to take a polygraph test...HE WOULD FAIL!!!

As for the whole poisoning deal, it was all on PUBLIC land. I used to take my dog with me all the time, but after all this poison was left out that doesn't happen anymore. My dog doesn't chase deer or elk either, just runs around me as I go through the woods. Who knows how much other stuff this guy poisoned besides the wolves.

Your pet got raped? I assume it was a dog?
That's one of the stupidest statements I've ever heard. Ever see a female dog not in heat, fight a male dog off?
Rape is not an option. If the female is not in heat, the male gets the message real quick and goes somewhere to piss on a tree, with his tail between his legs.
Damn, that's a terrible thing.
My little FiFi got "raped" by this big ol German Shepard. The little puppies are all "bastards", they don't know who their Daddy is!

i think everyone who thinks the same way and especialy those who use his ammo should consider donating to his legal defense fund imho

RJM said it all... I second that!

Poorly put to say the least but when an interloper comes onto my property breaks into a secure pen and has a great time with my bitch in heat, whether she likes it or not, I've been raped.
As to shooting wolves vs. coyotes...as I recall there is a difference in the breeding habbits of the two which is why man was able blow the wolf off the face of the lower 48 and the coyote just kept expanding. Anyone remember anything about this.
As to poisoning....I don't believe in it even on my own property (except for ants) and think that anyone who does so needs to go to jail, good intentions or not. If this guy did it then I hope he gets what he deserves.
