Wolf kills deer in Wenatchee yard

The Wenatchee World also states that people need to stop feeding deer, as predators follow prey. I propose a $5000.00 fine and one year in jail, (Gross Misdemeanor) for anyone who feeds deer near a residential area. In addition, all people who build or own personal residential property outside of an Urban Growth Boundary which is not in active farming use and have unnatural vegetation or irrigation of said property must surround their property with an 8'ft high fence to keep wildlife out of their boundaries. Failure to comply would result in a loss of a Certificate Of Occupancy for the residence and property.

I doubt a person will be physically hurt. Pets yes, livestock yes, Game will be dead or ran off. What I want is to see SaddleRock and Sage Hills closed to hiking & Horseback recreating. These people need to give up something for the good of the wolves.

I totally agree

You mean the wolves here are kinder and gentler than the ones in Alaska that chased down a female jogger, killed her and ate part of her.  Then while the Indians were waiting for the Alaska state Patrol to come investigate the incident, the wolves dragged the body into the brush and ate some more.

Sorry WJ!   I know some people who live up by Buzzard LK, three years ago they saw a big black wolf leap over their 8'garden fence like it wasn't even there.

In ID and MT there have been several close calls with wolves attacking people, the wolves lost and these incidents never hit the paper. WA has had several close calls already also, it's just a matter of time before someone gets chomped on. And just like everything else the wolves have done, the USFWS and WDFW will have some sort of excuse for their wolves.

Today(Sat.) they are doing a "hands across saddlerock" This would be a perfect time for a wolf to attack/pick off a slow,old,or weak hiker. Huggers could get an up close and personal reality check with a wolf.

Too soon--there are still plenty of deer for cars to hit and wolves to feed on....    Besides, WDFW would only say that the hiker was hit by a mountain biker, and the wolves just happened to be feeding on the dead hiker!
