There's a guy who has a blog arguing for one of the pheasant release areas on the west side to be shut down. His argument? Hunting is dying, not needed, and thereby the site should be changed to be a no hunting, bird watching area. He uses declining hunting license sales to back up his argument.
The problem with the wolf issue is there aren't enough hunters in this state.

I commented, on WDFW Watch's Facebook page, in regards to an article they posted today, which puts those who are pro wolf control into a very bad light, going so far as to describe "us" as products of de-evolution...
Anyway, after my comments, others responded with name calling, immature and rude comments, but no facts. I felt that I responded with facts. WDFW's Facebook admin then threatened to ban me, remove my posts, etc. unless I provided evidence of what I was claiming. After providing such evidence, they removed ALL of my posts, but left the posts of those who'd been responding to me...lol. After contacting them, via Facebook messaging, requesting that if they're going to remove my posts, which were all made in an adult fashion, they should also remove those of the people who were acting so immature. Magically, all of my posts were suddenly visible again...lol.
Anyway, to the part I'm requesting your help with...you know the politics and science involved much better than I do. What are the chances that you could either:
1. Get involved in the discussion
or
2. Give me the information I need to refute the information provided?
Here's a link to the Facebook post...please read the article WDFW has linked, paying close attention to how the article attempts to describe and define hunters as such low lives of the world...

I apologize for not finding this till now. Fall is my busy time and I have let a lot of things slide while I have been busy. It sounds like you figured out they are just a bunch of huggers trying to influence the WDFW. I might add, they are being very successful at influencing WDFW.
Keep up the good fight. :tup:

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but first you will never get everyone to be organized at this, and second, Aspenbud is right, declining license sales will likely work against us. The worst thing that happened is when WDFW started getting money form other sources than hunters and fishers.
As long as liberal democrats control the state politics, hunting in this state will continue to decline, they are seeing to that. If people want to see things reverse, then vote for politicians and judges who support guns and hunting.

Them there democrats would be socialists boss, not liberals. Liberals are people who are understanding and tolerant of most anything. Them democrats just hijacked a whole perspective on life in order to paint a less fearsome picture of their true nature.....socialist pig dogs. :)

I find it so BS that in the comments some idiot says that Doc Hastings, and Cathy Mcmorris-Rodgers are "pandering to their base" (ya think) while implying that 75% of their constituents (their base )don't agree. If 75% of Wa. are for wolves that SAME 75% + at least another 20% never have had to deal with them so WTH do they know anyway. :stup:

http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/newshound/2013/06/study-wolves-not-cause-wyoming-elk-decline
The title of this article is "Study: Wolves Not the Cause of Elk Population Decline in Wyoming" and a direct quote from the article "Of course, wolf predation does affect overall elk numbers" and "We can maintain these elk numbers but we had to severely limit hunting opportunity to do that," he says.
Sounds pretty contradicting to me
