I just hope this rancher doesn't suffer extended losses like McIrvin's suffered. Currently the WDFW has confirmed numerous packs but I think only 5 BP's, that means we still need 10 more BP's and then the 3 year countdown begins in which they successfully must breed 3 years in a row to begin the delisting process. If the wolf population continues to double during that 3 years we could have 30-55 BP's by the time we can delist according to the wolf plan. Can you imagine the impacts!Fortunately Commissioner Douvia insisted on an 18 BP's cap so that if we have 18 BP's in any one year wolf delisted can begin. Douvia also insisted on a 75% population threshold for ungulate populations. If wolf impacts cause ungulate herds to drop below 75%, wolf control can happen.We need to try and retain Douvia on the Commission.
Beef cow and fetus killed by wolves in mission unit. Wdfw was hesitant to blame wolves for kill. While wdfw was performing necropsy on cow, two wolves appeared on ridge above them. More to come on this. Good reminder to call and express your opinion to state reps

A prime example of what happens when man meddles with nature. Bring a predator into a place where food is plentiful and tell you that you can't shoot them. Wolves less than 2 miles from my house--Who'da thunkit?That reasoning sounds so profound compared to the party line we are being told...are you a scientist by any chance? No, just a 40 year resident of Wenatchee. When I moved here I was on the last street to the South of the Wenatchee City Limits. Now my neighborhood wants to be annexed into the city because we are an "island of county property".

This should be no surprise to anyone. Everyone knew these things would happen, us, WDFW the pro-wolf idiots. It never mattered to those who pushed this through.
Some of you act like the WDFW is surprised by stuff like this happening. It's no surprise, this is what wolves do. They have to eat. It's not a surprise to us, it's not a surprise to the state, and not to the feds either. But to think that suddenly just because a few animals are being killed, that they're going to modify the wolf plan, to me is wishful thinking. That wolves will kill a few cows should be a known factor. And killing the occasional dog, or course they will, they are just a bigger dog, and dogs fight, that's normal. It's just funny to me how everyone seems so shocked when dead animals are found that were killed by wolves. Did we think the wolves were going to live in this state and not kill anything? What did we think they were going to eat- mice, rabbits, and chipmunks?

Maybe Ranker will come rescue them before they end up like the Wedge pack.
