Wolf Attack at Harts Pass

[bobcat]

how do we find out who this person is so that we can reach out and offer some support?

 

And maybe we can raise some money and give him a reward.

“We are assuming it was a lone female on a road trip,” Christensen said. “We have dispersing females just like we’ve had dispersing males. There were no signs of other members” of a pack, he said."

Christensen needs to drop down into the Methow and check out all the dispersing wolves, he shouldn't have any trouble finding wolves in Lime Cr, Fawn Cr, Gold Cr, Cow Cr, Benson Cr, Boulder Cr, Black Canyon, Finley Canyon, and if that isn't close enough he can always go up Alder Cr just out of Twisp and howl a few in, or go trapping with his buddies up Poorman Cr.

Wolves have also been seen recently up Bear Cr, / Beaver Cr.  So If WDFW really wanted to start confirming wolf packs their supply is unlimited.

2010 I went there chase lions while it was 6" new snow top two ft snow and found 6-7 wolves tracks everywhere like crazy and repeat and repeat seeing all tracks.   They must travel back and forward from 8 miles to B-C and Bear creek plenty of deer and moose.  Need kill them all!

Even the Methow paper is spinning this story, from the article they posted it say's "The hunter, who lives in the western part of the state, told state wildlife officials that he shot the wolf, an adult female, because he felt threatened." Yet when you go to the front page of the paper the headline reads "ENDANGERED WOLF IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME ACCIDENTALLY KILLED BY HUNTER" is it really that hard to tell what truth is this was no accident he killed it because he felt threatened so unless you read the story you just think some person just shot a wolf for whatever reason.

The Methow paper has always spun to make the wolves look innocent, when things really start turning to chit, they aren't going to look to shiny.

I wonder if the government shutdown will affect the federal "investigation".

I sent a letter to the reporter that wrote that article questioning that misleading bit on the front page!

Campmeat and I saw a wolf this morning up Bear Cr., I wonder if it was a "Dispersing"

[wolfbait]

I wonder if someone will have to be killed by wolves before WDFW pulls head out of ass?

That won't help unless it's a greenie and they don't spend any time in the woods.

But wolfbait, even if they "pulled their head out," what do you think could they change so that there would be zero chance of a person ever being hurt by a wolf?

Once we start killing them regularly, they'll develop a healthy fear and the chances will decrease greatly. Of course, that won't happen until we have about 1,000 more some 4 years hence.

From the article in the Methow Valley News:

“He felt he was in danger. He acted in self defense,” said Sgt. Dan Christensen of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).

I'm not totally convinced but from that quote from Sgt. Christensen it sounds like the Sgt. believes the hunter didn't do anything wrong.

Any non emotional intelligent input on that?
