Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. So a couple of things. I, as a wolf conservationist, I guess I'd say, and researcher. And a wolf lover. And manager. Well. Don't you love them? I love wolves. I love dogs. I love foxes. I love white-tailed. I love wildlife. That's better. And I'm.

kind of in the middle, but obviously I'm passionate about wolves and I lean towards whatever we need to do to ensure that they continue as a species. I'm not saying they're going to live in Iowa and Texas. I'm just saying there's places that they can live where they more likely belong. I'm just going to put it that way.

But I am not in favor of reintroductions and I was not in favor of the Yellowstone and the Central Idaho reintroductions, which usually surprises people because I promote wolf conservation. But I felt that wolves were coming down on their own from Canada. And before those wolves were ever reintroduced by 1995, we had like eight packs of wolves in the state of Montana, 70, 75 wolves.

And you can Google that with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service early reports. They were making it. And I feel like some of these places where reintroductions are happening are Because of ballot box initiatives like Colorado, wolves were already starting to get to Colorado.

And the people who are wolf proponents say we want them reintroduced because they'll never make the great desert across Wyoming. They'll all be killed. They can't make it. Well, a few of them have. And they even made pups in 19, I think it was 2020 or 2021. And then this wolf was, did I tell you about the wolf from Michigan?

Yeah, the wolf that was killed, trapped in Colorado this year that came from the Great Lakes. My God, how did it get there? But it did. So I feel sort of that Colorado is on the cusp of natural recovery. If it's going to be one year or 10 years or 50 years, it's a time issue. And I think the same was true for Yellowstone and Central Idaho. They were already getting to those places.
