whoa,  those are really cool.  I had no idea we had those in WA.  if wdfw wants them around they are going to have to declare a wolf free zone.   :bash:

I agree with protecting the Woodland Caribou but it feels like the Feds are using the caribou to limit human activity on another 375,000 acres of public property.

This is all BS!   :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

Do NOT be fooled.  This is more BS being crammed down our throats and removal of freedom in the name of regulation.

The action could lead to rule changes for logging, fire control and human activity in some areas.

Quote
One group of caribou was located in the U.S. during this survey.  All other caribou tracks were located in B.C.  The final fixed-wing flight was followed immediately by a helicopter survey to count and classify caribou.  The South Selkirks contain a minimum of 46 caribou in 2009 – 43 in B.C. and 3 in the U.S

Quote
The proposed critical habitat is located in Boundary and Bonner counties in Idaho, and Pend Oreille County in Washington. These lands are currently considered to be occupied by the species.

Quote
We do encourage our federal, state and Tribal partners, and others, to provide comments specific to this proposal,” said Brian Kelly, Idaho State Supervisor for the Service.
sound familiar?

Quote
The primary threat to the species’ survival is the loss of contiguous old growth forest habitats due to timber harvest and wildfires. Human activities such as road-building and recreational trails can also fragment caribou habitat and facilitate the movement of predators into the caribou’s range

You see?  The problem is us humans and if wolves are eating them it's only because of the ROADS AND TRAILS that WE built making it easy for the wolves to access this remote area.

Please look at page 4 here and tell me this makes sense.

https://research.idfg.idaho.gov/wildlife/Wildlife%20Technical%20Reports/2009%20Caribou%20Census%20South%20Selkirks.pdf

Who might be behind this???

Quote
Defenders of Wildlife, The Lands Council, Selkirk Conservation Alliance, and Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the Service to designate critical habitat for the species in 2002. A 2009 Settlement Agreement stipulated that the Service would submit a proposed critical habitat rule to the Federal Register on or before November 20, 2011, with a final rule by November 20, 2012.

The area in WA that they're "protecting" is already protected....IT'S THE SALMO PRIEST WILDERNESS AREA.  Before you go blowing off about anyone taking your freedoms you should take a look at the map.

I've known about this area for years, so it's not new if you keep up on things. Plus, that's grizzly country big time.
Plus, it's roadless. Correct me if I'm wrong Bart.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Well aware of the map, and the designated area.  Never saw a sign of any woodlands.  Another big WA frickin' joke in my opinion.   I will not argue the fact that there are grizzlies there........I've had an encounter. :)

I think because it's a big grizzly area. Plus, the Woodland Caribou go back and forth between BC and the USA.  This is just a guess.

Several area's back home (NW Montana) they closed off because of grizzly habitat and because there were these same Caribou there.  No one had ever seen them, but they saw their tracks from the air! So obviously they existed. :bash:
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Several years ago in south stevens county a guy I know was plowing one of his feilds and he turned over an old caribou shed. Who knows how long that thing had been there?
