It's nice to see some balance in that 15% of Wyoming. However, hunting and trapping combined are barely holding the wolf numbers from growing in Idaho and Montana, a much larger area. The number of packs is still growing, there just aren't as many numbers of wolves in the average pack.
In Washington we'll have a much tougher time controlling wolves as we have denser cover and no leg hold trapping seasons can be allowed. Once wolves inhabit western Washington they will be especially challenging to control.
It seems to me that WA will have to hire professional trappers or helicopter contractors to control wolves, thus the sportsman and/or tax payer will take another hit.
In addressing the original topic, I would add that Jennings has done nothing to help the wolf situation in Washington, in fact his vote is usually to increase wolves in WA.
