SSS : poll

[Special T]

Of the whole issue of shooting wolves i find it amazing that many who have railed against tribes, Yet now are their biggest champions. I think its great the Col-ville are shooting them and are going to  "manage" them on the N half. I cant wait till the Yakima get involved because they seem to be the unstoppable powerhouse in the tribal realm. Hopefully they can find a way to "manage" wolves in thier Ceded area since the ceded area consists of the whole NC cascades...

Our opinions are valued in many circles but I don't see why we should leave this out here in a public forum for all to see. There are groups, and they are watching, that may want to use the poll against us in any way possible. I'm not saying they can do anything legally but they can sure use it to put us in an unfavorable light. Right now we need all the help we can get and I don't believe this will further our cause.

"Hunters Overwhelmingly Favor Illegal Shooting of Wolves".

And our cause is what? To reach a certain number so we can have a legal hunt?  I'm not worried about big brother nocking on or down my door cause of how I feel about wolves. I have nothing to hide and I don't go out in the woods and commit crimes, my conscience is clear.  I personally don't think posting on a public forum that I hate wolves and wouldn't turn a soul in for killing one will hurt whatever agenda is out there? What is the agenda anyway? Our agenda should be, no evasive species in our state!  This agenda will be fought far longer than our deer and elk herds will survive.  I'm not saying the deer/elk will vanish but the numbers will drop like a rock if wolves have their way at em.  We owe it to OUR wildlife to protect them, hey big brother, I hate wolves and I hope they all die when they step into the state of Wa.  Ill be waiting for a nock at the door.....

I hope there's a nuke coming. Regardless of how much of a mistake our state has made regarding wolves, asking hunters on an open forum to weigh in on illegal activities makes us look really bad in the eyes of the 96%+ of non-hunters. Bad thread.

"Our agenda should be, no evasive species in our state!"

That would rule out the deer and elk I hunt.

Some things are better off left unsaid.

So illegal that the governor of Idaho told his game wardens to not spend a dime on pursuing wolf kills by people a couple years ago when it was out of control over there? Most of us are legal hunters here, this thread just shows how frustrating it is having wolves in our state protected. Most agree they don't care if wolves die, so what. There might be a law in our state in the near future that makes it illegal for you to smoke in your car when anyone under 18 is riding w you.  So if I put a poll up asking if you smoke in your car w kids in it, will you be just as negative about it? Illegal doesn't always make sense, common sense makes sense. Just sayin.

This isn't ID. It's WA and the greenies are in charge. We need to be beyond reproach. In ID, they have a season on greenies. Here, they have one on us.

That would rule out the deer and elk I hunt. 

at least they are very welcomed in our state, and provide a purpose for many.

"Evasive".

i agree, I just don't think we should just bow down to people who want to take our right to hunt away.  Because of the greenies here we are at a bigger threat of losing our hunting rights or at least making a very limited hunting state because of the damage the wolves do.  The anti's love wolves, the wolf can do our job in keeping the herd numbers down, they don't need us hunters to do it once the wolf population gets big enough. But I know you are very aware of that, so what do we do?
