WDFW hiding Wolf Killed Livestock from the Public

They are required by state law to post reports online.  If you guys know of instances that do not make it on the list you really need to bring it to their attention and to your state rep.

Exactly  and on another note it isnt a lot of gov. jobs to report everything so why should we stand by and let them report all the anti hunter tree hugger stuff and not report our side of the story.Wolves are destroying the herds and this is just one way to educate them on what is really going on.I had an anti the other day ribbing me about why i hunt bears why would anyone hunt bears,so i said well i hunt male bears they eat little bears if we dont hunt older male bears none of the cute cuddly baby bears would live.why do male bears eat cubs she said.i said to kill the cubs is to have the oportunity to breed again(bears with cubs dont breed) she said well that sucks i guess i didnt know about that good luck on your hunt.

Of course they can only post what is actually reported to them.  I hear a lot of talk of "sighting" but not to many people saying they picked up the phone.

Kain has shown that the WDFW has not done a good job of posting sitings or incidents reported in relation to cougars. Its NOT a great surprise to me that they have not done so with wolves. IMO we need to gather facts on theses legal requirements and hold them to thier reporting mandates, and cause a stink because they are not doing so .
