In a recent article ketchum@cs.montana.edu (Steve White) gave a pretty good summary of the current opinions in the Yellowstone area about this subjects. BTW Steve, my intent *was* to open the can of worms.:> Best way to get spirited discussions . :> Anyway, I happen to agree with your view, it is a shame we can't have our wild areas *and* housing developments too. If any real geniuses in the real estate development business ever figures out how to do this they will make more money than the gov't can print! I can appreciate the ranchers view, the article I mentioned answers their concerns by saying that animals that prey on livestock are rare, and can either be culled, or relocated. I suspect there is some truth to this but I have a hard time beleiving its that simple. Predators have to survive, and any time they can get an easy meal, (less energy expended) they will do that. However, having said that, I also feel we have too many ranchers grazing, and over grazing on public land. So, ok ranchers, flame me, but I've seen deer herds "controlled" simply by an overly generous US Forest Svc. Well, I would also like to here from the wildlife biologists who are no doubt listening in. PLEASE lets try to keep this within the context of the group. Any animal rights flames should go to t.p.a. :> I would also like to know if anyone here would like to see the wolf population large enough to hunt? Personally, I don't waste ammo on anything I won't be eating, or using to survive. But I don't condemn others who hunt non edibles. I beleive it is instinctive for humans to hunt.

Use it free of charge. Make underground dwellings built into the side of a mound or hill. Then reforest over top of it. mike

I don't know if wolves are behaviorally much different from coyotes, but where I'm from, there were some places where wildlife and housing developments co-existed peacefully. Outside Tulsa, near Bixby, in Oklahoma I remember listening to their howls at night. There was enough undisturbed land between them and the houses to keep them happy, and I never heard any stories of them attacking any dogs or other domestic animals. Unfortunately, since I left I've heard that the coyotes have been killed as the area has continued to expand. Sometime soon it would be nice, and I think its absolutely necessary, for someone would think about what the land means to something other than their own pocketbook. Pam
