WDFW Offers Reward for info ................wolf killing

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

This was the deciding factor for not purchasing my spring bear permit.  I am not giving any extra money to WDFW and I am on the fence right now if I am just going to hunt out of state and put the 400 bucks I normally spend here into a out of state hunt.

This is my stance. I will only be bird hunting in wa and buying a deer tag until I draw a permit then I will be only bird hunting and fishing. I will take my money elsewhere!

Boycott the whole state! Don't buy any of it! See where that gets us?

if everyone in the state banned together and absolutly noone bought a huntn or fishn license it would raise alot of eye brows and not just in this state, this kind of news would go nation wide, alot of people that would rather stay out of the lime light would be smack in the middle of it, the problem is there is no way you could get all sportsman to ban together..... its pretty sad really, we have all these animal rights groups that have no problem being organized and when are god given rights are being threatned as sportsman we just clam up and bury are heads in the sand  people have a chance to make a differance right now, if you go to the thread that UC WARDEN started about a petition to releive a few dirt bags from office, you can sign a petition, its a start people, a simple signature is all that is needed right now and then passed on to as many people as possible.... we sportsman need to stand up for are rights or these special interest groups will take what little we have left and you can bet that WDFW is on their side, not the sportsman, if you think i am being a conspiracy theorist then you might want to take a better look

The reward is $22,500 and the fine is up to $5000...sounds like the shooter should have his buddy turn him in so they can collect $17,500 in profits     


"WDFW, with the help of three non-profit organizations, is offering a reward of up to $22,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. Conservation Northwest, the Center for Biological Diversity, and The Humane Society of the United States, have each pledged $7,500 to create the reward.
 
Gray wolves are protected throughout the state. WDFW is responsible for management of wolves and enforcement of laws to protect them. The illegal killing of a wolf or other endangered fish or wildlife species is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $5,000."

It has gotten me quite a bit. I up and moved and make far more money in a state with a lower cost of living and I'm not longer associated with a city that has more pets than children and has erected a statue of Vladimir Illyich Lenin.

That's what I plan on doing this year. I would rather send my money on a hunt in a state that is managing it's wolves instead of dancing with them.

ID = Idaho Fish and Game pays $30,000 to kill 23 wolves


WA = WDFW (and Conspirators) will pay you $25,000 to rat out an exterminator

HSUS has donated to WDFW and WDFW Enforcement in the past. There is a youtube video from a couple years ago about HSUS donating a robotic elk decoy for use by WDFW Officers in King County...

Its time for us all to look at dumping this mess of a state.  Idaho is too close for me to be putting up with this crap.  Enough is enough.

I started this as of last year. Only deer hunted and duck hunted in wa and like I said early, once I burn my 10 points for deer I will be done with big game overall. I am fine paying the extra money to other states that actually manage their game and welcome hunters.

So what. Tell us how many animals are put to sleep by HSUS per year in the United States ?

HSUS has nothing at all to do with any humane society..........anywhere.

WDFW, CNW, HSUS, and the CBD are all in bed together. I'll say it again and the wolf lovers on here will deny it; our DFW has been taken over by animal rights activists, which includes Jay Kehne being appointed to the Wildlife Commission. The proper thing for the DFW to do would've been to separate themselves from these enviro-wacko groups and just announce their own reward. It's very clear from this article where and with whom they stand.

Who specifically in the WDFW is an animal rights activist?  The WDFW staff I know are mostly hunters and all support hunting. 

I have mixed feelings on them partnering with some of these groups to offer a reward...in part I think its a political move to show them they will not condone wolf poaching perhaps in hopes they will listen to reason when it comes time to de-list them...not saying it will work but that may be a motive

Who specifically at wildlife is a hunter, buys a Washington license, books their vacation time to fit exactly into the tiny slot of hunt time provided, hits the woods and competes with other Washington hunters, aim at, shoots at and kills wild game, processes their kill, and files a report with the wa dept of wildlife?

What percentage of WDFW staff are hunters?

Supporting hunting and doing what Ice says are essentially  " talkin the talk " compared to  " walkin the walk ".   SO who are they Ida

That's not my question.
