Wolf poachers - would you turn one in?

Here's the actual image... busy today.

I wouldn't turn them in but I'll bail them out.

Yessir i would

[christopheri]

I am really surprised at the 82.5% of the people would not turn in a poacher yet everyone here preaches about hunting legally... Kinda hypocritical if you ask me. Even as much as I disagree with the wolf reintroduction and hate what the wolves are doing to hunting in this state and other states, poaching is poaching and is a

I wonder if the results of this vote has anything to do with the fact that WDFW did not give fair consideration to hunters, ranchers, and other wildlife management in the current wolf plan. The former director unfairly stacked the wolf working group with pro-wolf votes. How can they expect hunters to support something that was forced upon them unfairly?

Just sayin!

I'd loan them my shovel

[JimmyHoffa]

part of my reasoning is that it is so difficult to turn in any poacher.  I usually see/find things in areas with no phone service and don't get to call until after dark or the next day.  usually don't get an answer for the # I call.  I've tried the 911/WSP 'wildlife-non emergency' calls that was recommended on here.  Never got hold of anyone within a week--all different numbers.  Now I use the internet/text reporting method, but still don't see any evidence that 'the law' follows up.  If it is so difficult to get anything reported for animals I do like, I'm definitely not going through all the effort for the animals I don't care much for (because of their unwarranted 'special' status).

your observations plus throw in they don't seem to care as they usually figure its tribal or the fact there are so many open seasons for specialized this, specialized that, like master hunters.   It gets to a point where you really don't know if they were illegal or not.   I for one fell for that just the other day.   I assumed it was tribal and left angry only to find out they were out of season.   (really didn't know they had one).  Nothing to do with wolves in particular, but my follow up thoughts on the previous post.

I can empathize with that how ever we all have allot of crap forced upon us unfairly and still have managed to remain law abiding citizens. Once again I am in no way pro wolf but I am very anti poaching.

       Life isnt fair, doesnt mean you get to break the law

[jackmaster]

shootn a wolf isnt poaching, its protecting are wildlife that we as sportsman pay through the nose to hunt, any one of us would turn someone in for killn a deer, elf, sheep, goat,bobcat,cougar or whatever, the fact is that wolves were erradicated for a REASON, and if you havent noticed todays lawmakers arent really pro hunting anything, that is the only reason these KILLING MACHINES were brought out of retirement, if the oldtimers felt it neccesary to rid the lower 48 of wolves then i would trust them more than todays people that are incharge of the laws   

[Curly]

But it isn't breaking the law to not turn someone in.  I choose to look the other way if I ever see someone doing us a favor and eliminating a wolf or wolves.

[scout/sniper]

Big fat nope! Wouldn't condone it it, yet I wouldn't throw a guy under the bus for it!

Amen!

 Wait until they snack on your way of life. Gets a little more personel then. I think I would look the other way.
