Wolf hunting in WA

[Kola16]

Well, what do you guys think? Maybe a wolf pelt or full body mount in 5 years or never  Maybe we should all turn into woodland caribou huggers to get rid of the wolves 

I say 4-5, but hope sooner.

[Special T]

I think you will see them delisted in 2-3 years  and then the lawsuits will start. amkind them  about 6 years out. 

[Humptulips]

I think you are way optimistic.
They have to get into the southern Cascades and possibly SW WA. I'm thinking three years for that. Then they have to document breeding pairs, couple more years for that. Then three years of watching them increase while the three year period to delisting pass. Then I think there will be some stalling but there will be so many problems on the east side I don't think lawsuits will get much traction. I'm going to put my money on 10 years.

[Kola16]

Oh, and just to clarify, I am talking about hunting for the public, special permits, or something like that. Not like what the rancher in the NE corner has to do.

I am always optimistic 
And I will collect the money, just send it to me

Only coyotes in Washington.

Hey, how about those guys that say that it's not happening. Let's here from you.

[6x6in6]

6-7
I'm with SpecialT on this one.  3-4 years, we will be there.  The stupid a$$ Bellevue and Seattle dollars will flow and the litigation will tie it up for a couple years while they sit perched in their little trophy house having never set foot in the areas affected by wolves.
PETA, Western Washington style.......

Same thing I was thinking... I voted 6-7 years but's it's probably more like 10-12....

[fair-chase]

I voted never but feel I need to clarify. My best guess is that in 6-7 years we will see delisting. Followed by 1-2 years of hunting before the voters of king county shut it down permanently.

[Birddogman]

The tree huggers in seattle care so much for the wolves that they will fight any delisting in our state.  You ask someone on the east side of the state and they would be for.  I would hope we would follow some lead from the other states and open a season before we startseeing the decline in our herds like Idaho and MT. are seeing.
