Wenatchee Pack Attack

[jackelope]

Mulehunter, wolves are a federally protected endangered species, cougars are not. Need I say more? 

What would be the point of killing every wolf that ever eats cattle? That would mean every wolf in the state would need to be killed.

I already know it, Thousands of Documents and Document since 1900's and still same story every where, Warden is just being puss for not shoot it...  Whatever.

The warden was following the law, Scott. You can't fault the guy for not shooting a federally protected endangered species. Hopefully the new bill passes and the ranchers and farmers can soon shoot to protect their livestock, but that's not happening at this point. I appreciate your passion on this topic, but give the guy a break. He didn't shoot the wolf because it's really really illegal to do so at this point.

I already know it, I respect him for do what he can for all of us,  if I am a WARDEN, I will show you all that I am Serious business and shoot it. Its Not about money/politics BS. They just wasting everybody time.

It is worth it to you to go to prison? Be taken from your family?

Having a dead cow is one thing, but more importantly is we have more wolves!!!

I'd say we have the same wolves in different locations. The pair likely relocated from the Teanaway pack.

Ever see the "Angry peasant mob" scene in the old FRANKENSTEIN movie?  The wolves are the monster that the liberal bunny-huggers have created, and soon they will realize what they have done.  Only this time it won't be pitchforks the mob will be carrying!

I doubt you'll wait long for the right to shoot them, at least to protect what's you and yours, once they get west of the mountains.

Mark my words, the timber companies will welcome them. High numbers of deer and elk are not a timber company's friend...and the timber companies have a lot of land for wolves to hang out in. They will forever spill out of those lands once here.

The wolf huggers know exactly what they've created and are ecstatic about it. They want to end hunting and they want to end cattle ranching. There's no better way to do that than an outrageous wolf plan out of control.

Bobcat - I don't think you understand the issue and the research.  WDFW has now put on several meetings all over the state.  A few consistent messages have been shared with information learned locally as well as from Montana & Idaho.  The one specifically relavant to this conversation is that once a wolf gets the taste for domestic animals they don't stop.  They have said in multiple venues that 20% of the wolf population creates 80% of the problems for domestic animals.  While it is illegal, I understand why he didn't shoot.  But the point is that the WDFW is going to need to empower their wardens and BIO's to take action in circumstances like these, because it is going to cost the department $thousands of dollars to go back after these animals with helicopters and trappers like they had to for the Wedge pack.  And WDFW does have the authority to take out animals of this nature in the Eastern 3rd of the state, but they are required to go through some proper chanels.

Question, does Chelan County fall under that eastern 3rd? Looking at the map I would think you're getting pretty close to the half way point.

No, it is in the North Central i believe.

  Its spreading quick.

Really? Warden in Wentachee should shoot and use the Wolf for Educational purposes.    Thats is my point.....

He doesn't have that option.

The state agency has not yet determined how the Hurds’ cow died. Volson said it was apparent that the cow had been scavenged by either a coyote or a wolf. But he said late Tuesday that he will need to consult with other wildlife experts around the state before issuing a determination on the cause of death.  Whatever.....      Dan Bio better stand up for Rancher and all of us and not be afraid of Political issues Bs. 

No $$ Not even a dime..... for the rancher that lost mom and baby cow.     JUST like Lookout Pack did to Carlton Rancher. Whatever.

  are you guys having trouble opening the wenatchee world site? 

[KFhunter]

The shooter missed, shot high 

[jackelope]

Is that a bunch of deer up the hill and to the right from the wolf?
