Grassroots Effort to "Help" USFWS "Locate" their "Dispersed" Wolves!!

lmrt4.jpg

srx800-field1.jpg


Private Landowners are committed to assisting by way of an innovative "Grassroots" (partnership) by aiding the USFWS in locating their Red Wolves since USFWS has been unwilling to do so upon multiple request. Many of these wolves (64) were Illegally Released onto Private Landowners property without federal authority to do so…

These same Landowners have completed a grassroots funding campaign (not to be confused with Crowdrise) and secured the necessary tracking equipment. This equipment is compatible with the USFWS's "Lotek" Telemetry tracking collars currently in use. :):):):):

Citizens of the 5 County area will track over 500 Private Properties, these properties are represented by the formal "Landowner Wolf Removal Letters" that were sent to USFWS months ago demanding the USFWS "REMOVE" their Illegal Red Wolves from Private Property.

To date USFWS continues defy their own laws as agreed in the published Federal Registry.

Stay tuned to "google red wolf restoration scandal" as the Private Landowners continue to "TRACK" this "Scandal"!!:):):):)

Who do this people think they are to write our laws? This is unacceptable! We need night season to get control of the coyotes that they put in our backyards that are now eating or killing our cats and dogs now that the wildlife is gone. Save our wildlife! Let us protect our native wildlife and pets. I have two friends that have dog that spent days in animal hospitals recovering from coyote or wolf attacks. Are these people going to pay the bill? Would they want their pets mauled or eating? I sure wish they where in their backyard not mine!

The fact that game management and private land use is being determined and written in the form of settlement agreements with anti hunting groups behind closed doors is appalling.

How can these settlement agreements ever be modified or changed as time and circumstances change?

Laws and Statutes have avenues for change that are transparent and available through our representatives. Settlement agreements behind closed doors do not!

The Red Wolf Restoration Scandal has just been escalated to an all new level...

The only way I see to win this war with the wolf is to let the coyote breed the rest of the DNA out. Maybe we should just let the coyotes go and do the job for us. It should not take but a few years as they are already paired with yotes. I see two "red wolves" on my land and they are not running with each other, they are paired with the yotes. Don't allow USFWolfS on or near your land to take care of the "wolves". Trap and neuter and release the "wolves". Problem solved!

This crap was approved by NCWRC on 10\10, I for one will not pay to kill coyotes on my own land.I will not report wolf sightings or coyote deaths. The coyote is the only way I see to get rid of the wolf on my land as the feeble attempt to trap the wolf failed. Save the coyote as a tool to breed out the trace of other DNA out of the big dogs. let these stupid :donk do it there way, they will take care of the problem for us. Don't let USFWolfS on your land. If they want to shoot them selves in the foot, give them the ammo!

I sure hope you folks in the other 95 county's are watching,the big bad "red wolf" is coming to your land like it or not.You need to stop him now while you can, they are not protected there yet. You don't even have to report the kill yet.Stop them while you can before the coyote is protected. We now have a large number of
protected coyotes where we once had a large number of deer. Its coming like it or not,take care of it before its your problem to. We might have to go hunt with you guys to the west, so save your hunting rights before the "red wolf" gets his foot in the door. Slam it, lock it, protect it. Keep the big bad wolf out! PS Send deer meat,we are out.

I can't understand how anyone in their right mind would think a private landowner would/could/should give permission to USFWS to come on their land and trap or release anything after this fiasco.

Shame on NCWRC for agreeing to such a measure. Slowly but surely states rights are giving way to the feds, usually through some activist judge. A permit to hunt a coyote on private land, now that is a oxymoron when the NCWRC went to all the effort to open night time coyote hunting in NC because of the way these coyotes are intruding into our state. So we go from open limit, year long open season, night time hunting to get rid of these apex predators to protecting them with permit only hunting "during the daytime" in 5 counties. Odie408 is right, the other 95 counties will come under the gun because soon the quarter wolves, hybrids, and coyotes will eat themselves out of the available food sources where they are protected. As we have seen they are already moving out of the area and this will only heighten the speed of migration to the north, south, and west.

I think it's time for a class action lawsuit. This is a situation which they have already shown they have no defense.

At no time did I think I'd be agreeing with a class action lawsuit against people that I respect, but I'm beginning to think it's going to be the only recourse that I have to protect my properties and to preserve them for the purposes that I bought them for. As I said in another thread, there are over 500 of us that are willing to put in writing that we are opposed to having this thing on our properties. Both the USF&W and now the NCWRC seem intent on denying our requests and violating the very game laws that each purport to designate for the "good of the people and wildlife". With over 500 landowners, we will have a hell of a war chest! I just hope that the NCWRC will not force us in to this kind of action.

95 Locations where "NO REPORTING" is Required to an otherwise lawful activity!!

USFWS is to ensure their Experimental Non-Essential Red Wolves remain on "Their" Federal Land. Should a Wolf disperse USFWS is to trap, dart, helicopter / net etc. Then release it back on "Their" Federal Land.

Also wildly known is USFWS utilizes "Telemetry Collars" on its sterilized coyotes but is not required to trap these canids. Thus ANY Collard Canid observed outside of the 5 County Area could be assumed to be a "Coyote"??

The "Law" states while reporting is encouraged for the incidental take of a Red Wolf to an otherwise lawful activity (relative to these 95 counties)…It is NOT REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(See Below)

(4)(i) Any person may take red wolves found on private land in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, Provided that such taking is not intentional or willful, or is in defense of that person's own life or the lives of others; and that such taking is reported within 24 hours to the refuge manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for investigation.

(ii) Any person may take red wolves found on lands owned or managed by Federal, State, or local government agencies in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, Provided that such taking is incidental to lawful activities, is unavoidable, unintentional, and not exhibiting a lack of reasonable due care, or is in defense of that person's own life or the lives of others, and that such taking is reported within 24 hours to the refuge manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for investigation.

(iii) Any private landowner, or any other individual having his or her permission, may take red wolves found on his or her property in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section when the wolves are in the act of killing livestock or pets, Provided that freshly wounded or killed livestock or pets are evident and that all such taking shall be reported within 24 hours to the refuge manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for investigation.

(iv) Any private landowner, or any other individual having his or her permission, may harass red wolves found on his or her property in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, Provided that all such harassment is by methods that are not lethal or physically injurious to the red wolf and is reported within 24 hours to the refuge manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer, as noted in paragraph (c)(6) of this section for investigation.

(v) Any private landowner may take red wolves found on his or her property in the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section after efforts by project personnel to capture such animals have been abandoned, Provided that the Service project leader or biologist has approved such actions in writing and all such taking shall be reported within 24 hours to the Service project leader or biologist, the refuge manager (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(i) of this section), the Park superintendent (for the red wolf population defined in paragraph (c)(9)(ii) of this section), or the State wildlife enforcement officer for investigation.

(vi) The provisions of paragraphs (4) (i) through (v) of this section apply to red wolves found in areas outside the areas defined in paragraphs (c)(9) (i) and (ii) of this section, with the exception that reporting of taking or harassment to the refuge manager, Park superintendent, or State wildlife enforcement officer, while encouraged, is not required.

(5) Any employee or agent of the Service or State conservation agency who is designated for such purposes, when acting in the course of official duties, may take a red wolf if such action is necessary to:

(i) Aid a sick, injured, or orphaned specimen;

(ii) Dispose of a dead specimen, or salvage a dead specimen which may be useful for scientific study;

(iii) Take an animal that constitutes a demonstrable but non-immediate threat to human safety or that is responsible for depredations to lawfully present domestic animals or other personal property, if it has not been possible to otherwise eliminate such depredation or loss of personal property, Provided That such taking must be done in a humane manner, and may involve killing or injuring the animal only if it has not been possible to eliminate such threat by live capturing and releasing the specimen unharmed on the refuge or Park;

(iv) Move an animal for genetic purposes.

(6) Any taking pursuant to paragraphs (c) (3) through (5) of this section must be immediately reported to either the Refuge Manager, Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, Manteo, North Carolina, telephone 919/473-1131, or the Superintendent, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, telephone 615/436-1294. Either of these persons will determine disposition of any live or dead specimens.

(7) No person shall possess, sell, deliver, carry, transport, ship, import, or export by any means whatsoever, any such species taken in violation of these regulations or in violation of applicable State fish and wildlife laws or regulations or the Endangered Species Act.

(8) It is unlawful for any person to attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed, any offense defined in paragraphs (c) (2) through (7) of this section.

(9)(i) The Alligator River reintroduction site is within the historic range of the species in North Carolina, in Dare, Hyde, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties; because of its proximity and potential conservation value, Beaufort County is also included in the experimental population designation.

(ii) The red wolf also historically occurred on lands that now comprise the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Park encompasses properties within Haywood and Swain Counties in North Carolina, and Blount, Cocke, and Sevier Counties in Tennessee. Graham, Jackson, and Madison Counties in North Carolina, and Monroe County in Tennessee, are also included in the experimental designation because of the close proximity of these counties to the Park boundary.

They lost all of my respect with this settlement. I would say what I think of them but it would not be proper. I know the NCWRC cruises this forum and thread so they can use their imagination on my thoughts about them at this point. I think you guys will be able to get people outside of the 5 counties since the restrictions will soon move westward!

Our NCWRC has agreed to these absurd regulations knowing they are not even close to the wishes of the NC landowners in the 5 county area. This is yet another USFWS power grab taking away our rights and advancing their agendas all while knowing they are doing wrong and not living up to their word. What else is new?

Environmentalist groups are very quick to file lawsuits against activities that are detrimental to wildlife (the wildlife they prefer at the moment) and have been able to cripple many activities in this country on land that they have no connection to. How is it they complain about stuff that's happening on land that's not theirs and get results?!?!?!

We have a valid argument on a situation that is occurring on OUR land and they don't have a leg to stand on to defend theirselves, but the seem to be continuing their march over our rights.

Wildlifepro51,

How do you think this would work on "coyotes"? I have lots of laid out fields that used to be full of wildlife. Now these fields are just full of "coyotes". Talk to me about costs. We have about 500 - 600 landowners in Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington, Dare and Beaufort counties who may want your services. 4000 acre tracks will not be a problem.

We may even be able to track some of these "coyotes" via aerial telemetry.

Heck we may even find some common ground for you and BR549.

Thanks,
Jett

It would be best to fly on the "Fringes" of the 5 County Area. Never know, could run up on a "Wall of Coyotes"...

The best part is being outside the 5 County Area, you would not have to sit the Helo down to report an Incidental Red Wolf Kill, as long it was done incidentally to an otherwise lawful activity (very clearly explained above) for those just joining!!

Wake up Commissioners!

Tonight's wolves on my farm! I hope they come to your farm or hunt club next... You now own this problem. Quite a legacy for you protectors of our State's wildlife.

We have fed you more than enough data to run this USFWS anti hunting scam out of our State, but instead you now let the Red Wolf Coalition force you to recognize this coywolf as an endangered/threatened species by the State of NC. Absurdity...

Trapping season, Saturday Nov. 1, snares legal in Beaufort and Hyde Co.s no restrictions on equipment. If you catch a protected collared animal make sure he is dead and call USFWS(W now stands for wolf) as they care nothing about our (wildlife). Trap,neuter,release.

Read the regs, odie408. Trapping season in the counties you listed doesn't start until Dec.1 and there are equipment restrictions. Are you trying to get the unsuspecting in trouble or are you just misinformed?

Sorry,my bad. I was misinformed and did not mean to deceive anyone.When I said no restrictions I was meaning on snares. Robert Wayne when I was asking about trapping and snaring said there is no restrictions on the equipment used on snares.ie...kill springs as long as you are legally trapping. Do try to be legal. Trapping season is Dec. 1.

It is called sue and settle and we just lost our rights to night hunting with no input into the process.
Yep, red wolf program will not negatively impact any legal activity on private property...
What a joke. I wonder what rights we will lose next.

Common and successful tactic these days. Déjàvu all over again.
Will the taxpayer also cover the plaintiff's legal fees this time? Might as well pay them for the $&&(&@(@(@@ we're getting.

I expect it of "them", it's what they do. They got what they wanted. The WRC agreeing to the terms is the bad part.
Same situation as what happened at Hatteras. They folded. Out of fear I suppose. Of what, in this case, I don't know. Maybe someone smarter than me can explain why the WRC thought that this is the best option.
