I hear about people up north who enjoy hunting down wolves from the luxury of their own little helicopter, running down the canines till they drop of exhaustion or have no more cover left and get shot down. Do they eat the meat? Or do they become some novalty tropy? And if they do eat them...That seems so wrong...like eating a dog...

These are predator reduction hunts carried out by the State of Alaska. There are no trophies taken and scavengers eat the carcasses.

Maybe in Canada. It's against the law to use helicopters for any type of hunting in Alaska. And I'm pretty sure that includes Dept. of Fish & Game and any other state agencys that might be involved with predator control.
In most cases they will not even allow non-injured partners to fly out of a hunting camp with an injured hunter on a helo.
There are programs that allow the killing of predators from airplanes. Maybe that's what you meant.

I am against it. No, they don't eat it or use anything but possibly the pelt. I have a problem with that. I don't mind hunting ANY animal, if the animal is respected and ALL of it used.

Those are population reduction efforts by the DNR, not private hunters.

It is fun...you should try it...no we don't eat it because they are scavengers (who eat dead things) and they taste like - well they taste like what they been eating - dead things...
Just kidding I never did it, but so what...let them hunt them if they want...
