See how easy it is to miss the point on another great George report?
Don't try to cover tracks, Wolfgang, you are guilty too.

Living in MT, I know wolves won't attack humans, I feel honored when I
hear them howl while camping, and I know that no true wilderness is
truly wild without the howl of a wolf. However, I still see most of you
missed the beauty of George's post to jump at the chance to bicker.

Stop ruining it, dolts. Most of us know the science and nature of the
wolf. The beauty of his post (again) was the emotion he felt and the
great detail he went into to relay a great human experience with us.
Sorry you missed it.

Thanks again George.


George lives within a very few hundreds of miles of some places in
the U.S. where wolves never had to be re-introduced to get them back
in nature. They'd never gone away. MT can't say the same. They
killed all their wolves a long time ago and have only a few recent
decades of re-introduction and breeding up for their experience of
wolves.

The wolves he saw were almost certainly descended, in the wild, from
wolf packs that have always lived in the wild. They've just gotten a
bit of room to spread out now. His wolves don't have any funky Alaska
flown in by the DNR genes. If they've got, and they probably have,
some Minnesota genes, those genes got to his area the honest way. By
walking on four paws.

George knows that most of us appreciate him. The others just haven't
been paying attention or haven't met him and his very nice wife yet.
He also, sometimes for less than understandable reasons, seems to
appreciate many of us. It's a strange world, after all.... (betcha
someone will get an earworm out of that last sentence.)
