Finally Wildlife Managers Kill Wolf In Stevens County
« on: August 07, 2012, 08:54:35 PM »
 OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - State wildlife managers have killed a female gray wolf they say preyed on livestock in northeast Washington state.
   
Fish and Wildlife officials said they shot the animal Tuesday following a series of wolf attacks on a herd in Stevens County near the Canadian border.
   
Agency director Phil Anderson says the decision was made after officials determined it wouldn't affect wolf recovery objectives and after non-lethal efforts were used to protect livestock. The wolf killed was part of the Wedge pack.
   
Officials are attempting this week to remove a second wolf in the area.
   
The group Conservation Northwest on Tuesday questioned whether enough non-lethal efforts were made to protect livestock from wolves.
   
Gray wolves are endangered under state law but are no longer federally protected in the eastern third of Washington. A state plan approved last December allows the state to kill wolves that attack livestock.

Isn't it nice they have started on the area that has had the first documented wolf kill .

Just kill 'em all then, they're all going to kill livestock eventually, especialy after all the deer, elk, and moose are gone.

We are following in the footsteps of Idaho and Montana. Many of us have said before how this will end up, but many did not like what we had to say. So far the wolves are holding up their end.  :chuckle:

Any guesses how this ends, look at Idaho and Montana. Visit any small town and you will quickly learn that wolf season never ends there.

I have a pretty good idea how this will end up there. Considering the folks that live there.
I realize this isn't one of the areas that will draw much interest from some folks who could care less until they get a strong hold in some place like the Teanaway!

 But I for one am ecstatic!

I had refrained from making any more posts here but this is just too good of news!

The McIrvins are not the only ranchers who have had trouble, they are getting the press right now. Plenty of other ranchers have had trouble and Stevens County is inching closer to being completely fed up with wolves. Cattlemen had another big meeting a couple days ago in Colville, these are all the usual baby steps that have occured everywhere else that wolves have over multiplied.

To their credit, WDFW is acting on this faster than I expected at McIrvins. But while they are concentrating on controlling the wedge pack there is another 14+ packs in Region 1 which are multiplying in numbers and which means more new packs will emerge. Please understand if 1 or 2 trappers have confirmed this many packs in WA, anyone should realize there are a lot more packs out there.

WDFW needs to hire more trappers and do it soon to get these wolves confirmed or they are contributing to the problem.  :twocents:

Doesn't this prove how stupid the wolf plan is that WDFW approved?  Why don't they just open season and let everyone have some fun shooting them?   :dunno:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

No doubt it is going to pick up speed .The only problem is once they decided they have made a huge mistake it is to late.. then who are they going to blame ? You sure would think they would realize from Idaho and Montana that this is a very bad idea ... Just do not undrstand  :bash: :bash: :bash: :yeah:
