Ridgeratt:
Maybe not everyone on a horse and a hat is a range rider. But I have witnessed the McGirvins cowboys riding in weather that most of us would be sitting in a warm house or a truck. Usually a lone rider with a heeler dog. A lot of times a lot later at nite than I want to be setting a horse.

Colville Tribe opens wolf hunting season on reservation
 
by Rich Landers The Spokesman-Review Dec. 4, 2012
 
Wolf hunting has arrived in Washington.
 
Although gray wolves are still listed by the state as an endangered species, the Colville Confederated Tribes have opened a wolf hunting season for tribal members on a portion of their reservation, according to the 2012 Tribal Member South Half Gray Wolf Regulations posted on the tribe's website.
 
Tribal officials aren't answering calls from the media, but Andy Walgamott of Northwest Sportsman magazine has put together a detailed report on this milestone in wolf management.
 
The Tribal Council approved a season that opened last week on the south half of the 1.4 million-acre reservation in Okanogan and Ferry Counties where at least two and possibly three packs roam.

Colvilles worry that wolves will hurt hunting
 
06 November 2011 NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS, Associated Press
 
AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. (AP) – The Colville Indian Tribes are worried that the state's proposed wolf management plan may hurt subsistence hunting by its members.
 
The tribes told members of the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission on Thursday that a plan to restore at least five breeding pairs of wolves in Eastern Washington has the potential to reduce herds of elk, deer and moose on its reservation.
 
Tribal members harvest up to 1,000 deer, 400 elk and 50 moose each year, and worry a large increase in the number of wolves will increase competition for the animals.
 
“We have 60 percent unemployment on our reservation,” Joe Peone of the Colville Tribes Fish and Wildlife Department told the commission. “To be able to rely on subsistence hunting is critical.”
