March 27 Colville wolf meeting

[wolfbait]

My wife and I are going to be there and maybe a couple we bring from the Okanogan. I have a few things to say to WDFW, I think I can give many people an Idea of what "one or two" wolves can do to their deer herds.  I don't think the sun is going to be shining on WDFW after I finish.

[huntnphool]

I'd be there but will be out of town.

[WAcoyotehunter]

I will come over to see what's going on.  The real problem is the lack of wildlife data on both sides.  Anecdotal evidence is pretty much meaningless...I'm sure we will hear all kinds of "there used to be 150 deer in those fields, now there might be 10"... that stuff is meaningless.

The state needs accurate useful data.

[KNOPHISH]

Impacts to Moose should also be a major concern. When they get thinned out the tags will decrease.

[Elkaholic daWg]

Ill be there with a few of the neighbors......we're not happy, and they're going to know it.

Good, we need to pack that place and send a clear message to Olympia. 

Maybe you could talk Bobcat into driving over and see the warm welcome they give the WDFW. Also the sentiment of the crowd were they have wolves!!

Sorry, too far for me to go.

But I promise I'll go to the next one they have in Olympia.

THIS one is in your back yard!

I received a text from a good friend late last night informing me of a confirmed by bio elk wolf kill on his buddies land just two miles outside the Wenatchee city limits. I thought those wolves caught on trail cams a month ago "were just passing through"?

[Elkslayer]

I'll be there!

You're suggesting they have something on wolves that they still dont have on bear and cougar in a lifetime.............They base their plans on anecdotal evidence regularily.....................

How about bringing up the transcripts from the proposal meetings where they said they did not anticipate a ungulate depredation problem even though they had plenty of evidence from other state officials that had already witnessed it.

One of you that goes to the meeting needs to get up there and point this out and get them to say "we were wrong". Them admitting it publicly would go a long way in helping in this battle.

Just saw the photo WDFW posted to announce the meeting on Facebook.

[gaddy]

surprised they actually posted a pict that graphic.

I came across some info today which I won't mention at this time because I am looking forward to to watching WDFW's jaw hit the floor when I bring it up in. It has to do with wolves and why the Methow is out of deer, and the rest of WA is soon to follow.

Some time back WDFW mentioned that they wouldn't have the fight with wolves that ID, MT and Wyoming had. Why do you think they said that?

WDFW and the pro-wolf crowd like to tout science, there is no science where wolves are concerned, wolves are black and white, they kill everything sooner or later, with seventeen plus years of facts on the ground, it all boils down to common sense.

Awesome, its about time the general public got the strait facts.
