March 27 Colville wolf meeting

[CementFinisher]

its one sided because we are hunters, because we understand wildlife management. Anyone is free to speak their opinion here. you wont be banished. Just keep the language civil, no name calling. and if all you do is incite confrontations it may get people tired of you. bearpaw is a good man and his views may differ from some other members on here, nothing wrong with that. welcome!

I don't agree with Bearpaw, based off what I have read. He seems a little defensive on the wolf issue, but who am I to judge. I am not a fan of wolves either, but I accept that they are here to stay. Bearpaw seems to bash and turn members in to be banned if they don't agree with his views. Skywalker agreed with him and said he supports his views; yet the guy turned him in and called him a wolf supporter. Did Bearpaw even read what Skywalker wrote? Seems pretty clear to me that Skywalker agreed with him. What did I miss, other than Skywalker stiring the pot.

Bearpaw welcomes every opinion regardless whether or not they oppose his personal views, as do most on here. However, few are tolerant of individuals with mindless banter solely intent on disruption.

You sound familiar. Are you Skywalker's neighbor?

I don't think anyone agrees on everything on any forum, simply disagreeing is not a reason we ban anyone, however, this is a hunting community so we may ban anyone whom we feel does not support hunting.

Skywalker
He kept escalating the antagonistic nature of his comments. His last posts about huntnphool combined with his comments indicating he enjoyed antagonizing people are why he was banned. H-W is better off without that type of behavior.
 
Wolves
I have seen what unregulated wolf numbers have done to formerly world class hunting areas in Idaho and Montana. Too many wolves impact ungulate herds, livestock, pets, hunter opportunity, human safety, and rural economies. Unregulated wolf numbers make an even bigger impact. The destruction of big game herds in Idaho and Montana has caused many businesses to close their doors because hunters no longer come to stay in motels, eat in restaurants, fill their gas tank, or buy local goods and services. In addition to the loss of hunters, ranchers in these areas have less income and that adds to the destruction of local economies. Maybe that's OK with some people who do not live with the wolves or do not care what happens because of wolves, it's not OK with me, so I have taken a stand against unregulated or excessive wolf numbers.

The numbers I used in my comments at the Colville meeting are from documented government studies, I asked the WDFW personnel about each set of numbers I used and they verified that was the numbers from the studies, so the numbers have all been proven and they do not add up well for hunter opportunity.

WDFW had no answer for my question at the end of my comments, "What exactly is your plan for hunters?".

WDFW have no plan for hunters, thats the plan and the reason that WDFW protect predators instead of managing game herds. Pro-wolfers or those who think the wolf plays an inportant part in balancing the ecosytem, the wolves from Alberta have made liars out of all of them. If you don't understand stupid by now you should be ban.

There are those who believe more habitat for deer, elk etc. is the answer, wolves have no bondaries! You also should get a good azz kicking for suggesting something so stupid.

Anyone who thinks these wolves, that the USFWS introduced illegally and then with the help of states game agencies like WDFW released them thoughout their states, once again illegally is a good thing. Sign your name below? How many people have the guts to admitt how stupid they really are??

I am not educated on wildlife management or the wolf issue to have an plan or opinion for hunters. I have been researching wolves in Wa, which is what brought me to this site. I don't agree or disagree with your claims.

Well if you are being a smart ass then take your negativity elsewhere. If you are being serious, because I was honest, then yes I don't know much about wolves. I know enough to make my own opinions, but when it comes to statistics etc. I just started following it. Rather than spout off an make statements I know nothing or little about, I would rather research and reach out to the forum for answers.

[huntnphool]

It is quite evident you don't know too much I would suggest you do a bit of studing before you run off at the mouth!

He has admitted as much, give him some credit for admitting it and some time to do his research before you rip him.
