I am surpised that no one from here went to that meeting. It will be interesting to see the whole thing. I just started watching it.

At least Anderson is admitting how quickly WA will get "colonized" by wolves

[KFhunter]

helicopter darting coming this winter!


no foothold traps in the winter - wolfs foot might get cold 

[KFhunter]

they want to delay turnout to open range for ranchers, that's going to add cost to ranchers

really promoting range riders

I obviously am not rubber stamping everything Anderson has or wants to do, and I still maintain that the WDFW implemented a faulty wolf plan, but when you consider the large number of pro-wolfers in this state, I think Anderson is handling this better than any director we've had in decades would have handled it.

Brace yourselves, Washington will end up spending a fortune on woves just like every other state.

I think that hunters should work with legislators to get the wolf "tab" put onto the taxpayers, the people who wanted wolves, the costs of wolves should not be coming from the wildlife fund in WDFW which is derived from hunting and fishing license sales. Unless I am mistaken it will take a legislative action to do that.

[KFhunter]

they are really concerned about poaching

Oh no no...those greenies don't want to have to pay for them, they just want to run everything else about them. If they really wanted all the wolves and protections then why don't they spend more than a discover pass per year if that??? Sure they will pay for legal fees to fight the hunters but make no mistake there is no outpouring of cash otherwise...   Just sayin

If you go to the wolf section on WDFW website, you can click on "Briefing to Commission on Wolf Conservation and Management Plan Implementation - Oct 5, 2012" and watch the slides as you listen to the meeting in another window.
