Wolf attacks Dog in Twisp, Wa.

[huntnphool]

You guys are blowing this whole thing out of proportion. For starters, even if the dog would have died the state would surely have compensated his loss with a nice check for $625.

Additionally, according to the WDFW estimate, this type of occurence will likely happen once, maybe twice a year, and its a acceptable part of the overall plan. Now that its already happened, why worry about the rest of the year.

Lastly, lets just get to the 15 breeding pairs so they can be "managed" and all this can stop. I mean who can argue the logic by a couple of our members that adding a lot more wolves will make the entire situation better........brilliant!!!

Dang Huntnphool, That don't sound too bad, WDFW sure makes the wolves sound rosey. I wonder did WDFW write this report all by themslves or did DoW write it for them? Remember Wyoming wrote a wolf plan which the USFWS passed and then DoW said they didn't like it, so the USFWS failed the plan and blamed Wyoming. 

 I wonder if WDFW has ever seen the connection with their wolf releases on graveled roads and mowed grass?  Do you think they will ever get the hint?

I can hardly wait till WDFW and the USFS come out with their wolverine report. I can almost hear WDFW's office report now: Our wolves ate all of the transplanted wolverines, Memo-Call the Canadians and tell them we need some more wolverines, and make sure they are "lactating".  Call Andy and Conservation NW and have them on site for the release, and make Damn sure you drag them off the road and into the grass before filming.

I read something about a bill to transfer wolves to westside of washington. Thats the perfect plan. I will support and give money to have wolves dropped off all over King county and why stop there! I think we should share the dream of living with wolves with California and the Eastern states too! Finally a logical plan, share wolves with every liberal city in America. Its only fair if they love wolves so much that we should give them a bunch. why be selfish?  Help us all out on managing wolves if we could let them live with wolves for a while too.

Do you have any evidence of these releases?  You have been beating this drum for years and have never produced any facts about a release?  You were also preparing a court case to blow the top off... what ever happened with all that?

To bad you didn't have a gun handy. You could have shot that mountain lion and tell them that not for your dog, it would have got you. or just bury it and forget happened. I like wolf's, think they are beautiful. But they can't live in civilization.

They don't need a bill, it's written into the proposal, they can move them anywhere in the state.

I don't see anything wrong with what Don Fischer said.  He is just saying that if WDFW was insisting that it was a cougar that attacked the dog, that he should have just used the SSS method. That's how I take it anyway.

Maybe. I can't understand the grammar at all, but to say "I like wolf's" 

[Sniper101]

hes being sarcastic and saying he should of shot what wdfw called a "cougar" , makes sense if you have any brains, and yes wolves are beautiful creatures you gotta admit, and I like them to in the sense that their pelts would be a perfect decoration in my house, so how you take his perspective is all about YOUR perspective and wits....which most of you seem to lack calling fellow hunters tree humpers. Dont get me wrong, I hate what wolves do as well but  usewhat brains you have.

Owner suspects wolf in attack on pet dog near Baker City
on March 25, 2013 at 12:48 PM

BAKER CITY, Ore. — DNA samples may tell whether it was a wolf that attacked a pet dog about 10 miles west of Baker City and was chased off by gunfire from the dog's owner.
Jay Ogg said he had just let out the family's two dogs on Sunday morning when he heard one squeal.

Ogg told the Baker City Herald said he looked outside and saw what he described as a wolf, about 20 to 30 feet from the back porch.

In its mouth was the head of Taz, a Shih Tzu.

Ogg said he went outside and fired his 10 mm Glock pistol in the direction of the animal, not intending to hit it but just to scare it away.

After letting go of the dog, Ogg said, the animal moved toward his wife, Genie, but ran after a few more rounds.

"It wasn't scared of us a bit," he said.

The home is at the base of the Elkhorn Mountains. District wildlife biologist Brian Ratliff says the agency hasn't confirmed that wolves are in the range, but there's no reason they couldn't be.

A search of nearby woods turned up tracks from two "large canids," Ratliff said.

He's sending feces and hair he found for DNA testing at the University of Idaho and expects results in about two weeks.

The Oggs moved to the house in August with their three children.

Jay Ogg has set up motion-sensing trail cameras near his home. Ratliff said his agency will install cameras on nearby public land.

Ogg said he has seen large canine tracks in the snow this winter. Neighbor Raymond Griner said he saw an animal three weeks ago he figured was "just an overgrown coyote," but he wonders now whether it was a wolf.

As of the end of 2012, the state had counted 46 wolves in northeast Oregon. That's the minimum number the state has direct evidence for. That doesn't include the noted wandering wolf OR-7, who recently returned from California. http://www.oregonlive.com/environment/index.ssf/2013/03/owner_suspects_wolf_in_attack.html

Use what brains I have  If you are going to tell me to use my brain; check your grammar first. Maybe you should explain the "I like wolf's" part of it, which was my main point 

I have to admit that wolves are beautiful creatures? Have you seen what wolves do.......
