I think wolves will be a permit draw just like moose,spring bear,ect.WDFW has to make there money.And the tag counld be whatever they say.It might 100.00 dollors a tag if u get drawed.Coyotes will stay the same as far as limit.There just too smart,they been traped,hunted without limits for years a still thirve today.Its kinda a proven fact.
That is true,but if they lose money though deer and elk tags ,they will wanna make it up somewhere,and i think it might be wolf tags.That the impacts your thinking of is gonna drive the price of a wolf tag way up it coulnd be any amount up 1000 dollors a tag u never know.
If WDFW were worried about making money from hunters they wouldn't have planted wolves in the first place. I think what many people don't understand is, the wolf is a tool much like the spotted owl. That being said once cattlemen are run off the public lands and hunting is shut down, closing down public lands will be much easier, which is the goal. WDFW buying up every piece of land they can get, etc. adds to the end results. Thats why the biologists for WDFW are on W-H pushing for more habitat.

So your saying the WDFW has been purchasing private property (that was previously off limits to the public) in order to lock the public out of land that was previously unavailable to them??? Did I get that right or does my tinfoil antenna need adjusting???
They will never stop hunting on private land,have u ever seen farmer hunting regs whatever you see while on the tracktor is fair game.Closeing public land wont stop most of us thats the peoples land .Most of the gates ,ditches,big holes in the roads dont slow people down now.And thats mostly firewood hunters.Very hard to stop someone from walking onto public land they can barely enforce the rules they have now.

Has anyone ever wondered why all of the wolf packs confirmed always turn up in cattle country?
