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

[trophyhunt]

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.

I'm already jealous you live in curlew, I can't wait to get the hell out of this state.  8 years I hope to retire and move to Idaho or Montana.

Campmeat...Thereare very few places left to run, and you still reside in a fairly good area. Washington didn't get this way overnight. It mostly started in the 80's when we had a huge influx of Californians that fled that failed system but did not change their way of thinking. I have customers in ID and W MT that complain about the "Californication" of their state!   I and say you have put it off for 30 years!

Some states Like ID and WY have been being proactive in requiring super majorities to rewrite certain laws so that an influx of people cannot change things quickly. WA COULD have done that back in the 80-90's but we were buffaloed into believing it wasn't necessary.

Curlew used to be nice. Then, we got invaded by the hippies from the westside, Whittaker, CNW etc. We can't even ride our ATV's hardly over here. I left the westside 14 years ago to get away from them types and they found us.

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

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.

What compensation A-bud? A livestock kill has to be a confirmed wolf kill to get any "compensation" and as many have seen WDFW really aren't into confirming anything. You don't believe that WDFW's wolves are different then the wolves in Idaho do you? Where one in eight wolf kills are confirmed, WDFW wouldn't confirm several that were defiantly wolf kills. I think that time might be over now here in the Okanogan with a new specialists that told Fitkin no more lying about predation.

I knew you were Humanure. Now it's all but confirmed. Your reply is no surprise. Wolves were forced down our throats and you don't think anyone should be compensated because you personally have nothing to lose. You have no dog in this fight but the hell with the ranchers. They deserve what they get, right?

Dale, humanure's back and it's AspenBud.

I don't think livestock losses should be compensated either. First of all, it wasn't the WDFW that put the wolves here. Second, we just can't afford to pay out money every time a wolf, cougar, bear, or other predator kills someone's animal. It's the cost of doing business. You raise cattle in wolf habitat? Well then, expect to have the wolves eat a few.

If they wont manage them aggressively or compensate for them, then ranchers should have open season anywhere near their critters............NO QUESTIONS ASKED

[bobcat]

I agree, ranchers should be able to shoot wolves on sight.

Who is suppose to be managing the wildlife in WA Bobcat? Who is protecting wolves with their own ESA=wildlands plan? You are tell me that WDFW don't have anything to do with the wolves here in WA. :roll eyes: According to WDFW it's to expensive to confirm wolf packs also, so where does that leave WA and wolves?

Hey, whatever they gotta do to protect their livestock is fine by me. Just don't go looking for handouts from the WDFW.

I've been saying everyone should have the right to protect what's theirs for a long time here.
