now say that the wolf had been shot up on the Issaquah highlands in the pine lake area, would that 7500.00 bucks still be a reward to turn in the shooter or would it be a reward for saving all the huggers poodles?? :dunno: :chuckle:

I think with the pine lk crowd the reward would be jacked to $75,000 with several offering matching funds...

Absolutely Not, Most people in NC WA  believe WDFW when they say that wolves balance the ecosystem, and that WA wolves are, as Scott Fitkn said< Well Behaved wolves.

This whole mess could be settled by a resourceful person that wanted to make a difference.
All one would have to do is own a horse trailer, a few leg hold traps and a tank of gas or two for a truck to pull the horse trailer from wolf country to Redmond, Issaquah or Mercer Island. 

If wolves were spotted on Mercer Island, Jesse Jones phone would explode. LOL

I would donate BIG money to release wolves on Mercer Island... That right there is a great idea!

Funny thing that, a guy down in Eugene, OR had some animals get killed by a cougar recently and ODFW was at last count trying to find the cat. The punch line, according to the article I read, is some of the guy's neighbors hope to see the cat and one even went so far as to say she hopes to see a wolf there some day.

Don't underestimate the west side's tolerance for predatory wildlife. Don't underestimate how many wouldn't mind if wolves were practically in their back yard. Coyotes, bear, and mountain lions have been killing pets and livestock for years west of the mountains, even in urban areas, and yet there generally isn't a lot of panic over it, people probably won't see wolves much differently... until they realize they can't defend what's theirs and themselves from them. But then again I think there is some merit to believing WDFW aims to let wolves migrate west because they think they will be more tolerated west of the mountains and at that point no one will care if folks east of the mountains blows wolves away.

 Even tho i think what your saying is "hogwash",you said it in away that could make a guy shake his head and make him think...but i,ll tell ya when i shake my head it doesnt sound like a couple BB,s rattling around in a 50 gallon drum. Ive got a buddy that found a cougar in his carport when he walked to his car to leave for work one morning,in western washington!...In city limits!....And he,s a non hunter,let all creatures live sort of fella. When that deal happened with that cat he couldnt have wanted it dead fast enough,all he could think of was one of his kids or his wife stumbling on to it. Still has not converted over to hunting,but has a whole different outlook on predators....He,s still a good friend though,heck of a baseball guy :chuckle:

I would have to agree with Bigmacc, a couple of years after hunting cougars with hounds was shut down we had a problem like we are having now, except now it is far worse. The screamers are those folk from the wet side, they want that cat killed, they don't want to have to worry about their kids playing out in the snow or waiting for the school bus.

When a cougar causes problems on the wet side, that cougar is hunted down immediately and removed one way or the other. I think wolves will have a very different affect on them, they are starting to see the problems we on the east side are having, and they are learning from us, they are learning about the lies that the environmentalists $$ AKA the USFWS and WDFW have told.

By the way the Wet-side has many wolves already, WDFW just does not want to confirm any wolf packs there at this time, isn't that right Donny.

I'd actually say that's fairly typical. Most have close encounters that lead to not much more than a good scare. Again, it's an entirely different game without cattle ranchers and outfitters. I don't however think allowing wolves to be heavily protected will be tolerated for long once west of the mountains.

Some of those screamers are also now living in places where there were no houses prior to the ban and a number of them are out of state transplants. The ban was a bad idea, no doubt, but if you pay attention you'll find newer housing developments are often involved.

Tons of wolves west of the mountains?   :chuckle:  They must be the rejects because we have a whole mess of elk with hoof rot that don't seem to be getting eaten.
