For all of you who report wolves and wonder why WDFW has a hard time taking many of them seriously...it is because of people like wolfbait that they have to listen to rant every darn day that are clueless and full of government conspiracies. So...if we can get the wolfbaits of the world to keep their crazy to themselves it can only help. I'm sure the rants and anti-wolf ranchers pissed off about wolf eating their cattle are causing WDFW to not confirm wolf kills out of pure spite, got to be it. Thanks for enlightening all of us. I make sure to tell everyone when they got a wolf kill to be nicer to the WDFW employees, maybe offer them a glass of tea and tell them how thrilled they are wolves are back, maybe show them some receipts for donations to conservation northwest; maybe even offer some quality alone time with the ranchers wife - then perhaps they'll get an honest adjudication of depredation by wolf.Boy you just nailed exactly what I said. Good thing you are so smart. Its got nothing to do with being nice...its all about credibility. Go read the story of the boy who cried wolf. you might learn something.I've yet to meet a truly dishonest rancher, I'm sure it happens but it's not the norm. Let's discuss WDFW credibility. We can make a poll if you like?WDFW serves hunters, so what better place to make a poll than on the largest hunting forum in WA?

Oh absolutely! I actually hunt big game, I don't believe in secret government conspiracies about wolves, I think public land is a good thing, I think state based management of wildlife is a good thing, I support the North American Model of Wildlife Management and I think guys like Randy Newberg are model sportsmen compared to the cronies at outfits like big game forever and SFW. better hurry up and get your vote in, might make WDFW look good for a minute or twohttp://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,153477.0/viewresults.html

It may just be that wolfbait is over towards one end of the spectrum, however his account of events is closer to real than yours, Ida..........and if he is at one end of the spectrum, you truley are at the absolute other end of the spectrum.
Yep!When they arrive in the Skagit Valley and clean out what little game we have here all the farms here will need cyclone cemented in fences to keep them off our livestock.
fast forward 10-15 years.....Who will be vindicated? Wolfbait or Idahohunter?OH another Poll idea!

I saw a wolf standing next to a pond, right off Artman-Gibson Rd. We were on our way home during this last winter, about 1400-1430 and it was standing next to the water. I thought I was seeing *censored*, so I stopped and backed up. Both the wife and I looked at it, and it was definitely a wolf! I've seen coyotes in that field prior to that. Since then, I haven't seen any more coyotes there, nor have I seen any of the Canadian geese that were frequently there. I've seen a couple ducks in the pond right on the other side of the road, but no living creatures in the pond on the west side of the road There were also cows in that field during last summer, and most of the winter. Haven't seen any cows there in a while. I don't think the wolf/wolves killed all the cattle, that's not what I'm saying. But now that I think about it, I wonder if the lack of cows is because of the wolves around there?

But now that I think about it, I wonder if the lack of cows is because of the wolves around there? I know exactly where you are describing. That's only about a mile from the two ranches who have been seeing the wolves and a mile from the other place where the wolf grabbed the chicken.What color was the wolf you saw?
If it went to federal court in Spokane County hard to say what would happen, but I think it's a state issue in Stevens County due to the delisting of eastern WA. If it went to court in Stevens County we all know what the court results will likely be. Too many residents have been told "it's only coyotes" to get a conviction of wrong doing on that here in my opinion.
