No tag wolves

Anybody heard more on this? No more wolf permits required in Ontario.

I'm all for an open season on wolves but the notion that hunters can in any way impact wolf populations is a fantasy. Good to see new opportunity though.

No tags and offer bounty on them no matter how one kills them.

If given a enough incentive humans can have big impact on them

Skilled trappers, aerial gunning, poisoning can have a significant impact but casual hunters....not so much. Nothing wrong with opening it up though. Wolves are incredibly resilient and have pups in accordance with their population numbers. Number go down and number of pups increase. Wolves are wide open in Alberta...have been for decades and our provincial population is about twice what biologists figure it should be. Bounties need to be pretty high before anyone gets too serious about killing wolves. Not sure where the money would come from.

Sheephunterab what you say is true it is all about how bad one wants to reduce the population.

Sadly there is little political will to control any predators.

Sheephunter is right, I applaud the decision but in both BC and Alberta we're helicopter culling wolves. Little discernible impact in populations, except for pushing them nocturnal. Hunters can't touch the surface of what helicopters and bait piles do sadly. It's good for hunters but won't change much about wolves.
