Protect The wolves

UTAH needs to follow Idahos example and prosecute the asshole that shot echo!!

A former Navy officer who shot a wolf he thought was poised to attack his dogs while they were out for a walk in northern Idaho won’t get to keep the pelt – and he could be in big trouble.

Forrest Mize, 53, a former lieutenant commander, said he shot the beast with a .22 rifle he carries because of mountain lions around his Rathdrum home because it was crouched and ready to pounce. After the Dec. 30 incident, he decided he wanted to make a trophy out of the 100-pound wolf, and that was when his problems began. To legally bag a wolf, hunters must first buy a tag from the state Department of Fish and Game. It’s permissible to shoot one in self-defense, but you don’t get the carcass or the pelt.

  1. I’m sick of hearing the lies. This Naval Zero knew he was in dangerous territory, yet he willingly entered & exposed his dogs, also. I am glad that he is not in the military anymore, as I was in the Navy myself – he obviously cares only about his own selfish & irresponsible life & is willing to put any other life in peril only for his own benefit. He’s got plenty of money – make him pay & he is a disgrace to our Country
