Administration's plan lifts wolf protections in Lower 48

[bearpaw]

The USFWS, AKA environmetnalists have had a good run with their Alberta wolves, I wonder if they realize how much damage their wolves would do to future "endangered" listings?  Such as the wolverine which wolves consider a delicacy.

  They may have to roll around in their own chit for awhile. How will they switch horses at the end of the race?

I'm waiting for the next count on Washington's caribou herd! 

They will probably avoid that. 

I heard something about the Sullivan bighorn sheep herd missing in action, anyone heard the details on that?

Now that the government has severely diminished half the best hunting in the west they are satisfied to wash their hands of the wolf issue. I think the guys are right, there is a process to get delisting and this is only the beginning, expect lawsuits, but this time most of those lawsuits will fail because this issue has run it's course. Wolves will likely be delisted, but we are stuck with them in a state full of huggers who want the highest density of wolves in the west.

On the mountain caribou I heard they got too close with the helicopter and ran em off a cliff doing a survey - not sure there's any truth to that.

I know they see em pretty regularly in Canada on top of the salmo creston pass licking the de-icer off the pavement.

If it is OK to bring back the Wolf, wouldn't if be right if the Grizzly Bear also be brought back also? After all they both lived in peace and harmony together in the past.

No need. One was photographed in the north Cascades a few years ago and WDFW acknowledged it as legit. I believe it was photographed near Marblemount.

There are several in the NE section of the state.
