Do you see my point now that you have wolves in your backyard? Or, should I post a few more pictures?

I think he means that once wolves get a taste for beef they will continue to eat beef, especially if it is easier to get than elk or deer. At least that is what the WDFW said about the Wedge pack.

Bobcat, the way you stick up for the WDFW on the wolf issue is commendable. I only hope you will feel the same way once wolves make it over to where you live and hunt. And make no mistake they will make it over there.

I hunt the east side too. Just hunted the Pogue unit last November. And, at least in this case, I'm not "sticking up" for anyone. Just pointing out that the facts aren't in on this yet. If someone is claiming it wasn't a wolf kill, why call him an idiot at this point? That's all I was trying to say.

Okay, and who in the world would ever think that wolves, with cattle being in the same areas, would never get a taste for beef?

You're going to have to type really slow, because I'm not sure if your being flippant or really serious  :dunno:

The WDFW in various meeting has said that they either hope or believe that if prey is plentiful wolves won't want to take domestic animals. They made the comment that once the Wedge pack got the taste of beef that the only way to stop them was to eliminate them. Why would it be any different in other parts of the state? Prey in the Wenatchee area is plentiful so why would wolves need to go after cattle, because they are easier to kill.

On that we agree, the rest is schematics.   

You either have no wolves, or you have no cows.

Low hanging fruit so to speak.

Wolves eating cattle is the reason that the Cattlemen's Association has been fighting the wolf plan since the beginning.
