I don't buy the "tax rolls" argument that people use when the gov buys ground for US to hunt. Farmers/ranchers pay damm near nothing for undeveloped ground, timber companies probably pay less....
Quote from: wolfbait on April 02, 2014, 11:24:19 AMSo now I'm a cattle rancher also? How many people on W-H are frighten right now? I guess hunters are the ONLY people who can comment about what wolves have/and are doing? The rest of you who are not hunters have no say in the matter. It just wouldn't be fair, you might scare other people.So you are not a hunter. There have been many other "witch hunts" on this forum about getting rid of people who were suspected of not being "true" hunters...so why has wolfbait not been banned? He comes on here and advocates policies that are detrimental to hunters and wildlife conservation...probably more harmful than a greenie spewing anti-hunting rhetoric...ban him!! Send him to the cattlemens forum to spread his tinfoil hat garbage. Wishful thinking I know.

Send him to the cattlemens forum to spread his tinfoil hat garbage. Wishful thinking I know. To set the record straight:Even though H-W is a hunter's website we have not made it a policy to delete accounts of non-hunters, unless they cause trouble, fail to follow the forum rules, or misrepresent themselves as hunters when in fact we learn they are not hunters. If we learn that a member is misrepresenting themself as a hunter when in fact they are not, that is a swift way to be banned. Anyone doubting that this policy has been fair, please post the name of any member who has been unjustly banned from this forum. I would also point out that numerous hunters on this site are ranchers, just as there are other members of most other professions.

Farmers/ranchers pay damm near nothing for undeveloped ground, timber companies probably pay less....Wow, You are really misinformed. Land sales are open to anybody. The rancher pays the same for undeveloped land as you. It's on the market to sell and if you want it, just write a check like anybody else. The rancher has no inside track when buying land.

It's for wildlife habitat. Simple. And it's a good use of our money. I'd rather see my tax dollars be spent on wildlife habitat than some illegal immigrants' college education. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The article specifically mentions property taxes.Open public land is good for the PUBLIC... and for hunters and others that enjoy using the land.
Bobcat do you think WA has more ungulates then say Montana or Idaho did/does? Do you believe that WA is less populated with people then these two states? Both MT and Idaho hunt cougars and bears with hounds, With 18 BPs needed before delisting can begin, and not allowing cougars or bears to be hunted with hounds how long will WA ungulates survive? Do you think WDFW and the environmentalists are buying up all the land they can for fish and bird habitat?
