Wolf hunting in WA

[buckfvr]

If the pressure is applied to the right places and we get a new administration in our state, thinks could happen fast.......2 to 3 years could do it.  If not, wdfw needs to get sued by the sportsmen and women of the state.....class action.   

Its the whole Puget Sound Basin, not just King county......

2018 hunting regs will read:  Special Permit application, wolf - $150.  Non refundable.  Tag, if successfully drawn - $500.

For residents.

Double that for nonresidents.

They'll be delisted, there will be lawsuits, and then we'll be allowed to hunt them.  And we're silly if we think WDFW isn't already looking into exactly how much they think they can get away with charging us for to hunt them

I voted 10-14 years. Big money from out of state will flow into Washington to help the antis file lawsuits, one right after another. They'll put on sorry looking wolf commercials too. We will never see a truthful commercial put on TV, ( the dead and dying animals ) because the liberal media won't allow it because the " children " might see it..........

In Washington, except for specail circumstances NR licenses are 10 times as much.

There aren't as many wolf lovers as everyone thinks there are. Once wolf problems escalate, I think the silent majority will take the side for managing wolves. There may not be a season for sport hunting statewide, but I bet they come up with a system somewhat like the cougar damage hunts that are still being used in areas with cougar problems.

I voted 4-5 years, I think wolves will get delisted in WA and I think the state is going to be forced to deal with wolves or some counties will do it and for that reason it will happen. In a few years something is going to have to happen in Stevens County one way or the other. The WDFW can either get on board with some responsible management or the people here will find a way to control wolves.

There have been a time in the past when the county nearly adopted their own wildlife management. WDFW wants to keep control, I am confident they will find a way to manage wolves in some manner.

That would be the best scenario, wrestle control from Olympia and make it a regional management scheme, with public elections.  Blanket management  phylosophies do not fly in such a diverse state.

It's time for the tribes to impliment some managent if youknow what i mean

Maybe eastern washington needs to secede from Olympia.
Jion up with north Idaho and Montana. All one State.

[Special T]

Is'nt E Wa considered part of the American Redoubt?

[seth30]

I voted for 2-3 years.  The wolves numbers are exploding and its only a matter of time until we hear about a fatal attack

We'd have to put that to a state vote, and we all know how that goes

- spokane, and that would fix alot of problems

No, I think that you are just to pessimistic 

And I think that the idea of having seperate counties, controlling there wolf problems would be awesome. If the majority of people in King county want them, then dump them in King county. Let the wolves run through Olympia, and see how they like.
