New sport killings

[Landowner]

south of Walla Walla....

On June 13, a farmer living in the Wildhorse Road area southeast of Weston reported several of his sheep had been killed. The ODFW confirmed seven sheep were killed, with five injured and one lamb missing as a result of a wolf attack.

“It was estimated the sheep had been dead less than 24 hours with one lamb having been partially consumed and five sheep showing no consumption,” according to the report. “It is acknowledged that more sheep may succumb to injuries.”

The report noted the attack occurred inside a fladry enclosure, consisting of a type of fence with regularly spaced flags that is supposed to deter wolves.

I'm sure they just culled the sick and old as part of the service they provide to the environment.

DAN-O you are hilarious.  You guys must have missed the memo that the wolves got about free hors deuvres where the flags are.

 Wolves are scared of fladry enclosures, if ODFG would have only talk to WDFW first they could have come out with, "it was either a cougar or a coyote, there are no wolves in this area.

I'm sure they did talk to each other first.  But now they both are back peddling and pouring through the DNA as we type to determine which State is responsible for this released in the darkness of night pack attack.

Its is interesting to say the least, as wolves have been wondering through the PNW for decades.

And

It has been only since the "guberment" has gotten involved with planting new one(invasive species) :bdid:that "problems" have arisen!!

I'm sure a wolf wouldn't cross that gauntlet for an easy meal?

When I used to hunt Idaho for elk we would often find dead elk that had been killed by wolves and not consumed. Happened to come across it on several occasions, always suspected it was sport killing, but the experts say they don't do that???

Wolves only kill when they need to. Not for sport... Right.

Leave it to the" experts"!

Judas, I'm quaking in my boots.  Please, no, not the red flags.  Don't throw me in that there briar patch.  Is this really what the wildlife depts are using to try to keep wolves away from sheep?  They are pretty smart, but not too bright.

That is just plain scary.

I assume the Teanaway pack has moved out of the Cascades after seeing that.....

I've always had a fladry staked out while camping, keeps the bears away too.
