I believe this falls under the category of “You can’t make this stuff up!”

To review, the wackadoodles from Denver and the People’s Republic of Boulder have already voted to reintroduce wolves here in Colorado, and they’re doing their very best to outlaw mount lion hunting.  So now they’ve come up with a new plan to further increase predators and make our great outdoors even more dangerous for our native ungulates as well as hikers, campers and generally anyone who likes to explore the great outdoors. Believe it or not, these folks are now looking to re-introduce wolverines in Colorado.

Yeah, Wolverines.

Here’s the link to the propaganda, I mean CPW news release if you’re interested.

Now if you’ve never seen a wolverine, I can tell you from my first-hand experience in Alaska they’re just about the nastiest creatures on the face of the earth. They’re ferocious, and foul, with anal scent glands that give off such a pungent odor, the natives call them “skunk bears”. I’ve never seen so much whoop-ass in a 30–40-pound package in my life. I watched a wolverine run off a black bear once and I’ve heard tales of them doing the same to grizzly bears. These medium size beasts have the ability to kill prey many times larger than themselves so along with the additional wolves and mountain lions, this isn’t gonna help our ungulate population at all. They’re completely fearless and have a generally poor attitude towards life … or maybe it’s like Doc Holiday said in Tombstone, “They’re just seeking revenge for being born.” 

But never fear, the liberals in Denver and Boulder who will joyously vote for this will never be in any danger of ever seeing one. That experience will be reserved for you and I and other people who like to experience the outdoors and will now have to pack bear mace, a .45 caliber pistol, sawed-off shotgun and maybe a 105mm towed-howitzer just to be able to walk safely through the countryside again. In any case, wolverines sure aren’t something you want to come across while you’re out hiking with your family.

Since there doesn’t seem to be an end to this wake of crazy ideas, I guess our only real hope is now that SCOTUS has shot down their other crazy idea of removing Trump from our ballot, maybe we can vote some clear-thinking folks into office here in Colorado at the same time. In the meantime, I’m all for introducing wolverines in Colorado as long as we take a lesson learned from Governor Abbott in Texas and drop them off in downtown LODO (Lower Downtown Denver) and Boulder. They want ‘em, they can deal with ‘em.  Sure-as-heck if we don’t force these people to experience the consequences of their actions, next week they’ll be voting to reintroduce other indigenous species like grizzly bears and dinosaurs … which might be cool if they authorize T-Rex tags. Those would probably be once-in-a-lifetime tags don’t you think?
