On another note watching the news. Coyotes are taking over west seattle. I love it. Rick
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.
Any we think it is bad now...... They haven't even met their objective goal for the population yet. It will only get worse as they populate in numbers.
Sounds like an Eastsider talking Campmeat Unless your talking about WDFW AND THEIR BIOs All I know is I do not want to see one on the westside nor the eastside .. and if we do not find away to shut them down then we all have a problem ...how anyone concerned about wildlife would want these monsters roaming the hills is beyond me ..and how the greenies have more power and say so than we do is beyond me too !!!!

Dale, I to did not expect them to take action as fast as they did and you hit the nail on the head with the number of wolves in Region 1. This is why it is so important to post all the info anyone has about sightings, pictures and such. I believe they are paying attention to the info posted on this site. Thanks to those who go the extra mile to bring this to the attention of the WDFW.
