Dear Mr. Leahy & Mr. Robinson:
I am in receipt of your letter of March 30, 2010. I will address your points factually and straightforward.
We would be happy to meet with you to discuss conservation issues and the destruction of specific herds of
elk in North America. We believe; however, that your organizations and others are contributing greatly to
th
perhaps one of the worst wildlife management disasters since the destruction of bison herds in the 19century. Until the lawsuit relative to re-listing the wolves is settled or until you withdraw your support for
such, there really isn’t much need to meet as we continue to be at opposite ends of this issue.
Once again, I will state that elk are not flourishing where wolves are present. Contrary to what you have
suggested many times to claim otherwise is disingenuous and “cherry picking” data. Elk populations are
being exploited at a high rate by predators, primarily wolves and somewhat by grizzly bears. However,
since the introduction of the Canadian gray wolf into Yellowstone this exploitation has become worse for
elk numbers in the same areas. Yet, you would have the public believe otherwise.
The numbers and facts do not lie and they are as follows:
• The Northern Yellowstone herd, trend count has dropped from nearly 19,000 elk in 1995 before
the introduction of the Canadian gray wolf to just over 6,000 elk in 2008. At the same time wolf
numbers in this same area are on a steady increase. Nowhere can I find where a 60% reduction of
this herd was a goal of the wolf introduction.
(Source: 2009 Wolf-Ungulate Study Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks)
• The Moose population in Yellowstone National Park trend count shows a decrease to almost zero.
(Source: 2009 Wolf-Ungulate Study Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks)
• The Gallatin Canyon elk herd trend count between Bozeman and Big Sky has dropped from
around 1,048 to 338 in 2008.
(Source: Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks)
• The Madison Firehole elk herd trend count has dropped from 700 to 108 in 2008.
(Source: Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks)
• The calf survival rate for those same elk herds mentioned above, where wolves (and bears) are
present, is extremely low amounting to as little as 10% or less recruitment or survival rate. Nearly
any wildlife professional will tell you this is an unacceptable recruitment or survival rate.
Acceptable wildlife science tells us that a 25-40% survival rate is necessary for herd sustainability.
Further, a recent MSU study shows those elk that remain in the Northern Yellowstone herd are in
below standard health as they are not feeding where and how they normally do and the females are
not getting pregnant as they should, due to hormonal imbalances. How and why did this behavior
change?
(See Montana State University Study by Professor Scott Creel in July 2009; funded by the
National Science Foundation)
• Wolf numbers have far exceeded what sportsmen, ranchers, wildlife conservationists and the
public at-large were told was a desirable goal. Specifically, 30 breeding pairs and 300 total wolves
was the goal line when wolves were released in 1995. The minimum number of wolves is now
over 1,700 according to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and a number of animal rights groups
such as yours believe those numbers should be 2,000 to 5,000.
This is the most disingenuous and deceiving issue relative to the entire Canadian gray wolf
introduction and your groups and others perpetuate this every chance you get. We call it, “keep
moving the goal line” politics. It is doubtful even you believe that 2,000-5,000 wolves in this area
is sustainable. However, this allows you to keep saying “We haven’t reached the goal line yet”. It
is sad wildlife management has to come such political posturing.
Wolf population goals established at the introduction in 1995 have been surpassed by some 300500%. Yet groups like yours continue to move the goal line and yes, continue to cherry pick your
facts to push an agenda.
• Studies show that each wolf kills up to 23 elk from November through April; that equates to up to
40,000 elk killed in six months. This number does not include those elk killed for food by wolves
from May through October. While the number of elk killed per wolf from May through October is
less than the number from November through April, it is still considerable; and that is just the elk
killed for food. These numbers do not account for those elk simply killed by wolves (surplus
killing) and yes, that does happen. Nowhere near the majority of these elk kills are simply the sick
and the old.
• The habitat loss that you cite in your letter is yet another critical reason why wolves must be
properly managed and managed now. As elk ranges shrink and are encroached upon, the elk have
less chance for survival in areas where wolves are concentrated. Elk become trapped with less
habitat available. Your organization talks about elk and wolves coexisting on the same terms as if
it were the Old West again. It clearly is not and that is why man must manage wildlife as we have
for over a century.
• Canadian gray wolves introduced in Yellowstone in 1995, simply are not endangered, it is quite
the opposite. There are thousands of these wolves in North America. Remember this reintroduction was classified as an experimental, non-essential re-introduction in the first place.
Your groups would have today’s public believe that it is essential. These wolves are not
endangered.
• You contradict yourself as you point out in your letter how there is a “legitimate federal role in
ensuring states manage wildlife in the best interests of all Americans…”, yet you circumvent and
disagree with the federal opinion (USFWS) that the wolves are recovered. Further, you disagree
that these wolves should not be listed as endangered and be managed by the states at this time.
You can’t have it both ways but you continue to try as long as you can get away with it. Do the
federal authorities know what they are talking about or not?
• It is likely that your groups have reaped large donations from your campaign to keep wolves on
the endangered species list. This is a common tactic for animal rights groups. It is apparent that if
the entire wolf controversy went away it would represent a considerable revenue loss for you.
I don’t see what your costs are relative to the wolf recovery program as it is likely you are getting
federal funds to pay some or all of your legal fees under the Judgment Fund or EAJA funds. Could
you confirm for us and the public at large if you are receiving such federal funds (taxpayer funds)
to offset your legal fees? Frankly, I don’t believe most of the public know about or understand the
Judgment Fund or EAJA but they should. It sheds light on potential motives and tactics.
Idaho’s elk numbers in units where wolves exist are far worse, with two units showing over 80% decline
since wolves were introduced. If wildlife conservation was your true agenda you would not stand for such
losses of any species. The facts are there – the numbers do not lie! Our elk herds cannot be sustained if
wolf numbers continue to expand without proper management. What is happening now is not sound
management, it is simply an assault. Re-listing wolves will worsen the issue dramatically.
Your letter states, “(Defenders) position is not one of opposition to sustainable hunting practices or to the
important role that hunting plays in conservation. Responsible hunters are some of the most knowledgeable
wildlife conservationists and we seek and find common ground with them regularly. It is unfortunate we
have not been able to do so with RMEF recently but would like to work together in the future.” You have
never sought common ground with us once that I recall.
Let’s consider those words a moment. We do not believe that your organizations subscribe to hunting as a
viable conservation tool; in fact we believe you and other animal rights groups have an overriding agenda
to decrease hunting until there is none. If you truly want to “work together” as your letter suggests, then
you will step forward and show a sincere willingness to manage wildlife as they should be managed and
not continue to promote a hidden agenda or continue to move the goal line. In fact, I invite you to come to
my office and let’s resolve this issue for the sake of those responsible hunters and those responsible
non-hunters you reference. Enough of the legal maneuvering and posturing, let’s resolve this now.
Plain and simple, wolves are predators, nothing more and nothing less. They need to be managed like other
predators by the folks who manage the rest of our wildlife, the state wildlife agencies. This wolf amnesty
program is poor wildlife management. The American sportsmen deserve better respect for all they have
contributed to wildlife while groups like yours play games with the system.
Your letter states you have called for a scientific review of the wolf recovery program. Who are your
scientists conducting the review? We have never heard of this scientific review? We can find no
announcement of such nor can we confirm it. Why isn’t the wildlife science of three of the leading western
states (Wyoming, Montana and Idaho) and the USFWS credible? Is it that you are not getting the answers
you are looking for? If so, that is not subscribing to science that is manipulating it to get a desired answer.
We live within the rules and game management policies of all the state agencies and when we have
differences of opinion we go to them and work it out like adults. The United States has the best system of
wildlife management in the world, yet you reject the system of states managing their wildlife. Among your
tactics are filing lawsuits to stall and extend the process and then point fingers at others like RMEF and say
we are polarizing the conflict! Managing wildlife in court is a recipe for disaster.
Again, you seem to contradict yourselves in your letter; on one hand you trumpet the success of the overall
elk populations in these three states (which are managed by those states, I might add); and on the other
hand you reject those same three states’ ability to manage wolves. That is a curious contradiction. Either
these states know what they are doing or they don’t.
No one is promoting an annihilation of wolves, so let’s stop pretending such exists. However, there is a
great need for sensible balance and the current wolf numbers have long since crossed over the tipping
point. If your organizations do not begin to subscribe to sound wildlife management soon, this disaster will
lay squarely on your hands for history and the public to judge. Feel free to use the date enclosed in this
letter when talking to media and legislatures in the future. As I said at the beginning, the numbers and the
facts do not lie.

Michigan Conservation Officer - Whitetail Poachers Caught
Author: OUTDOORSMAN.com WEBLOG, Logan, Ut
One heck of a meat pole Looks like some very busy poachers in Michigan
.....
I thought you would all enjoy seeing this conservation officer report and
photos.
St. Martin's Island is a privately owned small island between Green Bay
and Lake
Michigan (refer to the MI map if you're curious).
Acting on tips from someone, MI conservation officers descended upon this
crowd on November 19, 2009 and made the appropriate arrests. I would have
given a lot of money to have been with them and to see the looks on the
criminals faces!
Truly amazing. Kind of makes you want to buy an island!!
Terry Short is one of the Michigan CO's and his note is below:
From our raid on St. Martins Island on Nov. 19, 2009.
31 bucks and 9 does on the pole. Nothing smaller than a 7 point. Another
approx.. 10 deer, antlers, and heads found on the ground around the camp.
A mix of smaller bucks and does. 10 deer without tags, approx.
another 10 deer with wives/girlfriends tags. Investigation continues.
Another wolf bagged in Salmon…

Heidi Leavitt shot this wolf just outside their home down river at Spring Creek. Heidi was in the store and said that they have had a pack running around their place and decided
when they heard them coming their way again, they would try and shoot one (she did have
a tag). So next time came quickly and while waiting for the pack to get closer, they looked
in the woods below them and there was this wolf. He weighted 127 lbs. He was a collared
wolf and by the time they got it to Fish &Game (which is probably an 1.5 hr drive, Fish &
Game already knew about the wolf and said they had been looking for him. He is now
skinned and hanging at their place. The wolf pack had been terrorizing campers lately.
Had a couple of guys treed in the cab of their pickup all night at Colson Creek campground.
Not afraid of human campsites at all.
There won't be any game left thanks to wolves and their dear friends - tree huggers.

This is on the Big Hole, 22 wolves in one pack about 2 miles from
the Cabin and Squaw Creek. Late January, 2010.
Great news, the Montana Fish and Game won't have to feed elk this year,
probably can't even find an elk in the valley, they will be scattered everywhere alive and
dead.
I wonder how many elk and moose a week it takes to keep this bunch going?
Fishing at Bear Lake. Wade Cornia 18lb Lake Trout
Author: OUTDOORSMAN.com WEBLOG, Logan, Ut
Wade always has 'luck' on his outings - Of course it's the kind of 'luck' that can only be attributed to hard work and perseverance. 
We had a lot of fun fishing Bear Lake this weekend. My father-in-law and I braved the weather and waves with much success. We hooked 6 trout netting 4. Thanks to some jigs I bought from maniac custom lures I was able to catch 2 really nice fish. The lake trout was a 18lbs 32" long & the cut was 12lbs 26" long. We also had a lot of success jigging cisco. Enjoy.
Sincerly,
Wade

Wade Cornia - OUTDOORSMAN Pro-staff: 2009 Utah Spike Bull Elk Hunt.
Author: OUTDOORSMAN.com WEBLOG, Logan, Ut
Per Wade Cornia - OUTDOORSMAN Pro-staff:
2009 Utah Spike Bull Elk Hunt.
I was able to find success this year on the Muzzleloader spike hunt. We found the herd of elk in
With much collaboration with Jared (Nichols) we decided to come in on them from the south. We made a plan to work our way through three sets of pines to get to a specific ridge that would hopefully give us a good vantage point to see the herd of about 30. As we got to the base of the desired ridge I looked up and a calf was feeding our direction at about 150 yards. As we backed down into the edge of the pines we noticed a cow then another calf and then another. We now had a cow and three calves feeding in our direction. We had hopes of others following, but much to our chagrin nothing followed. The cow and three calves changed directions and fed up the hill to the top of the ridge. That was good for us. They worked their way over the ridge out of our sight.
As Jared and I contemplated what our next move should be, they reappeared. With the wind in their favor and testing it often they couldn't pin point anything so they continued to feed back and forth up the ridge line. At this point we decided to work our way along the tree line to come in behind the cow and three calves. As we worked along the tree line I noticed the cow and three calves had came back on our side again. At this point they were directly above us. I guess after spending more than and hour trying to work around them they would eventually catch our scent and they did. The last time I saw the cow and three calves they turned and trotted over the hill. At this point I didn’t have much hope of seeing anything and I figured the cow and three calves would have given us away.Anyway we decided to walk up to the top of the ridge to see if we could spot the other elk on the opposite hillside. As we approached two lone pine trees. I looked down at the end of the ridge and there laid a cow and calf elk roughly 100 yards away. As I motioned to Jared they were there I notice another elk feeding in the pines 50 yards away. I couldn't tell what it was. The wind was still not working in our favor. I figured for sure we would send the elk running.
As I watched the elk in the pines I finally caught a glimpse of the right side of the elks head. It was a spike. I motioned to Jared that it was a spike and he was feeding directly up the hill toward us. I waited patiently as he emerged from the pines into some dark green buck brush. There he was 50 yards away broad side. As I looked through the binoculars I could see that his left side had two points. I motioned to Jared and was pretty sure this was ok, but wondered if he was legal. Jared decided to break out the IPhone and look up the proclamation. As he was double checking the spike had changed directions and was heading back into the pines. I figured for sure if he went back into the pines we would never see him again without spooking him. At this point all I could see is his rear end, but for some unknown reason he turned and fed back out the same tracks he just made. Now he is standing broad side again with everything from his knees up exposed.
I told Jared that I was confident he was a shooter and I was taking the shot. I placed the red dot directly behind the front shoulder and pulled the trigger. BOOM, SMOKE. As the smoke cleared he was standing there looking directly at me. He didn't move a muscle. What???? I didn't hit him. I set there thinking there is no way that I can get my gun reloaded and get a second shot off without him taking off. My quick loads are in my left pants pocket, my primers are in my right pants pocket, and I have to do all this quietly but quickly. It was almost like we were having a stare down. I didn't take my eyes off of him nor did he me. I popped the cap of my quick load and loaded two pellets and the sabot. Now I needed to pull my ram rod without making much movement. I hid my muzzleloader behind the tree that was between him and me, and pulled my ram rod out so he couldn’t see what I was doing. I packed the sabot and powder as tight as I dared without making much noise. Now, I need to find a way to get a primer on. As I stored away the ram rod, I tilted my muzzleloader with barrel down, and reached in my pocket for the primer loader. I pulled the old primer out and replaced with a new one. Doing all of this with him still standing there looking at me. Spikes are so naive. Wow, I am ready with another shot. I started to slide the gun around the tree but thought he will take off if he sees this gun, so I waited. About 30 seconds went by when he turned his head and looked in the direction of the cow and calf whom where still lying down. I slid the gun around the tree and placed the red dot again at the front shoulder and pulled the trigger. Down he went. I was able to finish him off and the work began.
Thanks to Jared and his good advice we were able to have a very exciting experience. Enjoy.
Thanks,
Wade
Another unsubstantiated email: Gun owners... look what's on the 2010 tax return
Author: OUTDOORSMAN.com WEBLOG, Logan, Ut
10.19.09
Below, in red text, is a copy of an email that I received referencing a Senate bill that looked like it was going to require firearm owners to register their firearms on their 2010 tax returns. I usually dismiss this kind of bunk, but had not heard of this one, and thought I better call the experts at the NRA.
I Spoke with Alexa, 703 267 3820, in the NRA grassroots political action area. She said this was a rumor from nearly 10 years ago and that it has randomly started up again. The bill 2099 was legitimately initiated by liberals but shut down relatively quickly. She was going to send me over a copy of their official position on this policy.
(See the NRAs official response below the red text)
Subject: Gun owners... look what's on the 2010 tax return
VERIFIED – TRUE by snopes.com
http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/blairholt.asp
As if we didn't have enough to get upset about! If you have a gun, I hope it isn't registered!
It begins... more Freedom gone... the right to protect yourself and your family gone! Now ALL GUNS must be listed on your next (2010) tax return!
Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own.
It will require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.
This bill was introduced on February 24, 2009, by the Obama staff. BUT, this bill will only become public knowledge 30 days after the new law becomes effective! This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee has passed this without the Senate voting on it at all. Trust Obama? You must be kidding!
The full text of the IRS amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage: www.senate.gov. You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099. You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do. Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.
Text of H.R.45 as Introduced in House: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009: www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text
Obama's Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don't fully comply.
It has begun... Whatever Obama's "Secret Master Plan" is... this is just the 'tip of the iceberg!'
Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.
Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar as a 'minor' IRS revision, and, as usual, the 'political' lawmakers did not read this bill before signing and approving it!
To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Goggle HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless: 1) It is registered 2) You are fingerprinted 3) You supply a current Driver's License 4) You supply your Social Security number 5) You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing
Each update change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25. Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.
There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 years in prison.
If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family pass this along.
This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it.
This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not..

Clearing Up the Rumors: The Truth About The "Gun Tax Bill"
| Friday, August 14, 2009 |
Over the past few months, NRA-ILA has received hundreds of e-mails warning us about "SB-2099," a bill that would supposedly require you to report all your guns on your income tax return every April 15. |
Like many rumors, there's just a grain of truth to this one.Someone's recycling an old alert, which wasn't even very accurate when it was new.
There actually was a U.S. Senate bill with that number that would have taxed handguns -- nine years ago. It was introduced by anti-gun Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), and it would have included handguns under the National Firearms Act's tax and registration scheme. This has nothing to do with anyone's Form 1040, of course.
Fortunately, S. 2099 disappeared without any action by the Senate, back when Bill Clinton was still in the White House.We reported about it back then, just as we report about new anti-gun bills every week.Now, it's time for gun owners to drop this old distraction and focus on the real threats at hand.

SCI NW Chapters Mike Price - Letter of Thanks for Disabled Vet Hunt
Author: OUTDOORSMAN.com WEBLOG, Logan, Ut
Below is a letter from Mike Price, SCI NW Chapter, to all participants in the Camp Patriot and Elk Safaris West disabled vets hunt. Both Mike and Jake Myers, members of SCI, were extremely kind, generous, and particularly instrumental in making this hunt possible for these military brothers.
Jared
To: Disabled Vets Hunt Partipants
From:Michael Price
All the members of the NW Chapter of Safari Club International, to include Jake Myers and I, would like to express our sincere deep gratitude for your part in the successful Disabled Veterans Hunt we all just participated in at Elk Safaris West.
Mike Price (L) and Jake Myers (R) of SCI NW Chapter took this trophy bull elk prior to the Vets arriving for their hunts
What a great group of individuals (Elk Safaris West, SCI NW Chapter, OUTDOORSMAN.com, Camp Patriot), that all came together as a fantastic team to do something to repay, in our way, the wounded veterans for their service and the loss they incurred therein.Nothing can undo or replace their loss, but hopefully we were able to put some joy back in their lives for at least a while and a pleasant memory that will last a lifetime.
We anticipate showing the videos we receive and other photos to everyone we can, to urge others to step up and also do something for the wounded vets.
Thank you again for your participation.
Mike Price (R) interviewing with the local CBS affiliate during the (Camp Patriots) Vets arrival at the Idaho Falls airport
With Sincere Best Regards and Smiles, Mike
