Recreate, interesting choice of words.
They were originally to take out 8 wolves. The greenies win again.

One was shot by agency personnel in August and one was found dead very shortly after that. Makes 8.

Makes 8.OK, but were these deaths after the original announcement of the pack removal? By WDFW own numbers, they've only taken out 6 since that announcement. I must be missing something here. Let me know thanks.
WDFW does deserve a little credit. But only a little. They did come-up with a stupid wolf plan afterall.............so it's hard for me to give them credit........ plus they didn't finish the job either.
I think they ended there efforts because they shot the only animal in the pack with a tracking collar, and now know it will cost to much money and time to locate the remaining animals. They need to get the trappers back out there to collar the remaining animals to monitor there where abouts and activities.
everybody seems happy but i have a different perspective on this. they just reduced the number of documented breeding pairs in the state, so is this not a setback to the state delisting the wolves? and at the rate the state has been confirming breeding pairs, well, it could be a while now before we are able to manage them ourselves with hunting licenses.
They could raffle the chance to go shoot the wolves next time, make some money off it and I could get my wolf rug!

We're in a huge budget deficit, and they just totally passed up a huge opportunity to make some money! There are TONS of people who would pay handsomely to hunt one of these mongrels, and it would only cost the state money to print up the damn tags. Stupid, stupid, stupid political BS
kind of ridiculous that wolves in the olympics have anything to do with delisting wolves in eastern washington.

wow the senator demands to know the cost of killing the pack..... how about the cost of trying all non lethal methods for a year or so and THEN killing the pack? what an idiot
but noo, he has to make a big deal of it now that it's done to pander votes for his re-election. Get all the pro-wolf lovers all fired up to re-elect him. What a POS
