Great. Just what we need: more worldwide outrage over a lion (sigh). OMG and the management for this so called preserve, they suck! What was it that former president Bush said, “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
Yeah, I’m not buying this story, I would like a DNA test to prove legitimacy. (Click here to watch W bloopers)
Cecil the lion’s son has ‘met the same fate’ — killed in a trophy hunt in Zimbabwe
The son of Cecil the lion — Zimbabwe’s beloved big cat, whose death at the hands of an American trophy hunter triggered widespread outrage two summers ago — has been killed as well.
The Facebook group Lions of Hwange National Park said Thursday that Xanda, who was 6 and had several cubs, had been fatally shot several days ago by another trophy hunter in Zimbabwe. Andrew Loveridge, an Oxford University researcher who studies the park’s lions, said in an e-mail that the shooting took place on July 7 during a “legally sanctioned hunt.”
Anyone who knows hunting knows hunting a wolf isn’t easy. You may think you’re stalking them. In reality, they’re hunting you or outsmarting you. The thief in the night comes and goes and leaves only the remains of your beloved cattle or pets. This cunning creature will outsmart you every time.
By baiting them you might actually have a chance at protecting what’s yours . . .or will you? I honestly don’t think baiting will make the illusive creature any easier to hunt but it sure will be fun trying.
Idaho Fish and Game proposes allowing hunters to bait wolves –
Ketchum, Idaho • The Idaho Fish and Game Commission is considering several changes to hunting rules, including allowing the use of bait to hunt wolves. The department is proposing the rule change in response to requests from hunters who want to use bait for hunting wolves outside of the black bear seasons.
Under current rules, wolves can be killed by hunters when they are attracted to bait set out for black bears, where hunting seasons are open for both black bear and wolf. But big game rules do not allow use of bait specific to hunting wolves, the Idaho Mountain Express reported Friday.

COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado Springs councilmembers are being urged to consider allowing hunting within city limits to combat high populations of deer. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials have met with city leaders to discuss the issue. The state officials say the hunt could decrease crashes and garden conflicts. The Colorado Springs Gazette reported Wednesday that one solution discussed is an urban-hunting program like those in some rural Colorado communities. The plan could recruit “sharpshooters” to residential areas.
City Councilman Don Knight believes urban hunting will work and says he will ask the council at Monday’s work session to approve researching the possibility. Studies by the state suggest 20 deer reside in every square mile of Colorado Spring’s southwest corner.

How to Hunt Wolves: Wolf Hunting Tips and Tactics from the Experts– Wolves make their living in the most remote places on the planet. They’re big, tough, and crazy smart. With few exceptions, almost every wolf taken during recently opened seasons in Idaho and Montana has been killed incidentally by a hunter who happened to have a wolf tag in a pocket when he was out hunting something else. Only a handful of hunters in North America can claim to be expert at consistently taking wolves without the aid of traps or a pack of hounds.
