Heard on the news Friday that Idaho hunters had taken 29 of the 250 wolves authorized in this year's wolf hunt. That number is bound to rise now that the general big game seasons are upon us. I've thought about buying a tag - don't know if there are any left, and don't know what I'd do with a wolf once I killed it.
So, thanks to out of state do-gooders (and over their vociferous objections) we now have a wolf season in Idaho. Now that the concept has been proven (i.e., reintroduction of a species to its former range eventually leads to huntable populations), I say we sportsmen get together and reintroduce the grizzly bear to its former range within the great state of California. Hell, they've got one on the flag there - might as well have the real thing roaming the lush hillsides of the wine country, ruling the trails and traces of the San Bernardino Mountians, prowling the Hollywood Hills. We owe it to those nobel bruins to give them back the land we drove them out of 150 years ago.
We have a fair number of grizz here in Idaho, and we're generous folks hereabouts. Let those granola-munching animal lovers from the Bay Area come on up here, catch a few breeding pairs from around the city dumps at Rexburg and Tetonia, and then set a couple loose up there around Monterey - maybe another pair in Topanga Canyon, and few in Mendocino County. Then all we have to do is sit back and let them feed and breed. Before you know it, California will be selling grizzly bear tags. Of course, you won't be able to hunt them with lead bullets, but hey - progress is progress.
