Well... I know, but I'm not there, and I'm not trying to badmouth their effort. They were under a lot of pressure. Half the state wants wolves, half doesn't. They're under a short timeline. Oregon was the only state that offered up their wolves. Wyoming said no. Montana said no. Everybody said no. Oregon says, you can have 10 of ours. Here's the 10 you're going to get.

In hindsight, it does. Yeah, and it...

It's time frame. See, all this stuff has to do with the time frame, the mistakes and the rewards. So the most positive pros of reintroductions is you speed up the time frame. So like if we had let wolves slowly wander down from Canada and eventually get to Yellowstone... It may have taken 10 years. It may have taken 50. I mean, it happened in Montana pretty quickly once they hit critical mass.

But it took them a few years to get there. And then they just started, you know, the curve. But people didn't want the time window. And we had a presidential administration that was in favor of it. We had conservative congressmen that were in favor of it. You had the Wolf Groupies in favor of it. And it...

It's just like all came together in the timeframe and the window of opportunity opened about four inches and they shoved them through. And Colorado mandated by citizens ballot initiatives, which is not a really great way to, I don't think, to do business on any bill. I mean, we have bills in Montana coming up now for voting. But the timeline was short.

And I think if they had more options, they would have taken wolves. They would have taken wolves from Wyoming or Montana for sure because they're more wild, whatever. We do have depredating wolves. But they kind of got down to the wire and everybody denied them except for Oregon.

Pretty simple. On the other hand, they can learn new behavior. Like the wolves that were taken for their introductions to Yellowstone, they had never seen a bison, most of them. And they've learned now in Yellowstone, a lot of the animals to kill are bison. No kidding. Yeah, yeah.
