sandymere 8,263 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 They are across a lot of europe and may be one answer to deer populations but there would be a lot of people against any introduction here. I was only 3 when this took place but heard the tales as I grew up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,263 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Dont sit well with me, rather watch em than shoot em apex predator an all that. This animal was an escaped wolf, no pack, no experience, limited prey species other than farm stock in the area and reduced fear of humans! I would love to see wolves in the UK, in appropriate areas, but there will always need to be control as there never will be a natural population. Well stocked prey species, red deer, in somewhere like scotland would lead to breeding success and increasing populations, these would expand their territories leading to problems as they moved into more urban areas. Especially as there would be the stupid twits feeding em. They would quickly lose their fear of humans and then it would be more than the occasional danger of fox attacks on babies! Alas we have changed the environment to the extent that without our management/intervention nature goes awry plus we are the apex predator so our intervention is part of the natural environment.

Im not picking that one out pal and i agree with stuff needin controlling i just mean in general like trophy hunting lions, tigers etc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 And as far as us being THE apex predator i couldnt agree more but the rifle tipped the scales to far in are favour less effective hunting methods should be pushed that help natural selection ie lurchers fastest hare to ever live cant outrun a bullet, anyhow im preaching to the converted.nice pic an sorry for going off topic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,159 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I personally like wolves a lot. I am not painting a romantic picture of them,as they are a very good predator, but don't forget, they are what out dogs once were. All dogs, come from wolves, from the tiny chichawa, to the irish wolf hound. I think its a shame they have been controlled to the verge of instinction.. They are different from foxes, not as adaptable, so suffer more from persecution. That wolf, could of easily been trapped alive and returned, unless of course it was attacking everyone ect, but i don't think it was? but in them days, hysteria and ignorance was common. wolfs all ways try and avoid humans. Just my take on it, for those who think different and hunt the wolf ect, fair enough, just not my thing and its funny, i hunt all sorts, but just draw a line when it comes to wolves.. I'm not sure about verge of extinction, in this country they're extinct, but North America, Canada, parts of Europe there are still healthy numbers and my guess is theyre numbers are controlled by Humans. Pest control for fox or wolf is no different, it just depends where you live. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
