3 MORE WOLVES KILLED TODAY

[bobcat]

I think what it is is they're likely taking a lot of heat from the wolf lovers. So they killed the alpha male and want to call it quits, not really saying that they didn't kill the entire pack. It's all in the wording of it. I think they're trying to compromise and are hoping to make both sides happy.

There's no likely about it. If you read some of the posts on the WDFW wolf blog there are individuals suggesting the rancher should be killed. Yes, the WDFW statement is ambiguous.

Any wolf that is left has been imprinted to eat cattle so they all need to be removed. If they are allowed to survive they will teach any they come in contact with the same skills.

Yup its all in the word games.  Politics.  That makes 8 with two left just like I thought.  They would leave the collared pair so as not to spend time and money to recollar another.

well if they are all gone that means I won't hear or get any responses this weekend. I have to go do a bit of recon so I will be out roaming.
When I use the baseline map they posted it gives me a large area to check out as well.

  The rancher was there first, and has handled everything legally. He has lost a lot of money, and has not accepted any.

Is this only a JOB for the WDFW, or could a few hunters in the area.....read "ridgeratt" help out ? For those in the know without a chopper, why not?

Remember this spring when Yourself, Whacker and I went to the wolf meeting here at the Audubon meeting and I talked to the Bio and told him where to look this is the exact area I suggested he go to. Crazy that they now are up there doing Damage Control.

This site is comprised primarily of hunters and it's easy to forget that hunters are only about 3% of our state's population. Many people have no understanding at all of the natural world other than what they see on their 55" flat screen TV.  Meat grows in styrofoam containers in the back of the Safeway, and when animals get old they get free medical assistance and a government provided nursing home.

I just read that it is the ranchers fault because he made the wolves eat his cattle

Yea I remember. But why do they have to do it "themselves" ? if the want to get the pack removed, why not enlist some help? My bet is there are better hunters on here than on the payroll!!!!!

Probably because they had fun doing it. Who wouldn't want to shoot wolves from a helicopter?

Because if they opened it up it would look like the Old Gold Rush Movies!!
But in the last few weeks the Rose colored rigs were on 2 foot centers. One Friday nite after they annouced the plan I passed 7 of them in a row headed back towards Colville.

Not sure what that means, but I see bobcats point for sure.
