[pianoman9701]

WDFW LE watch hunting-washington.com. I would advise discretion in the things you report or pass on here. Just sayin'.

This Thread just adds to my reasoning that if that LARGE COYOTE is wearing a collar take the collar put it in a plastic jug and throw it in the damned river, that way it continues to move and continues to send out a signal

Or attach it to a cross-country Semi.... 

.........or better. Hide it in/on a Twisp/Methow Sabuaru. Let them commie, liberals get alittle shagged by WDFW.

i see your point piannoman, as always  but here is the kicker to the whole thing, wdfw drops the ball on the biggest wildlife trafficker in washingtons history what are they gonna be able to do to a couple guys talking about SSS? its al hear say man, noone is actually doing it and if they are they are smart enough not to put it on here or facebook or twitter or snapchat or pinterest or email or hunt-wa or take a pic or write grandma or grandpa or tell the neihbor or the wife or kids  you name it bro, if wdfw wants respect, go back and close out that scud bottom vagrant wildlife trafficker, well it will be a start in the right direction, they need to right alot of wrongs before they earn any respect from the sportsman

I completely agree and also believe that HuntWA is a target because of the negative opinions expressed about the DFW on here and the public profile of the site. I would not put it past the administration to have directed people to pay special attention to our posts. Carry on.

Aren't we covered by the 1st Amendment, freedom of speech.... ? I'll say whatever is allowed on this site or any other site.

Jackmaster.. The WDFW wouldn't go the extra mile to get a big trafficker/poacher but they sure as hell would go the extra mile to catch and throw the book at a wolf killer.

The fact that the WDFW has their priorities so upside down makes me  I think it would be very difficult to work there and actually care.

Actually, it was the Pierce County Judge that dropped the ball.  WDFW is not in charge of sentencing.

WDFW can have a huge impact on sentencing too.....

Any LE agency can make a recommendation on sentencing through the prosecutor.  Ultimately, it is the judge's decision and no one elses.  I hardly think that WDFW's recommendation (either good or bad) had much bearing, if any, on the sentence.

In addition, unless ucwarden was lying, getting the DFW administration to cooperate with prosecutors by handing over records and evidence was a full time job in itself. It seems clear that his assertion about the DFW being more concerned with fish and shellfish busts was accurate if this case was any indication.

I agree!

I have heard that many WDFW LE feel the same as many of us, where wolves are concerned, that being said they still have a job to enforce the the laws. Remember IDFG and their LE? Look the other way boys.

The problem is WDFW refuses to confirm livestock killed by wolves useless they have no other choice. I think WDFW LE take a lot of heat for WDFW's poor decisions over wolf killed livestock. Remember in the past WDFW sent the info to Olympia to see whether to call it a wolf kill or not.  If that isn't enough WDFW's biologist go out of their way to blame everything but wolves. It was a cougar, a coyote, the eagles did it, etc..

In the past most confirmation of wolf packs have come from wolves killing livestock, so if WDFW refuse to deal with problem wolves, why would ranchers call them for help? I think this suits WDFW just fine. DoW, CNW, etc. don't want the wolves delisted, and it sure seems WDFW feel the same.

The problem is you guys have been crying wolf since before wolves set foot in this state.

Seriously, the second it was confirmed that a wolf was walking around near Wenatchee photos started popping up on here (like within days) of a "wolf kill" near there that looked more like a cougar kill. No one was posting "wolf kill" pictures of dead livestock from that area until word got out that they were there.  That's not suspicious or anything.    

If no one listens when kills are called in there is a good reason. EVERYTHING is called a wolf kill now. It's a nice way to try and skim a buck while also pointing blame at a predator you don't want.

They should stop compensating anyone for wolf kills.

Kinda sucks........

Just think if all the hunters, fisherman, rednecks and whoever else is sick of these assnine liberals, left this state and left it to ALL the liberals running it. They would beg us to come back and clean up their messes they created.

I'm looking at moving a long ways away from here in a couple years, if not sooner.
