Wolf attack

[PA BEN]

I just saw a post on face book that a friend and her crew witnessed a pack of wolves attack a herd of cattle and killing some. It was up Aladdin, thats all I know for know.

I asked of they told the wdfw she said yes and they told them it had to have been coyotes. Sounds about right.

The public will have an opportunity to discuss wolf management activities in northeast portion of the state with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) leaders during a meeting Tuesday, Oct. 7, in Colville.
The meeting will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Colville Ag Trade Center at the Northeast Washington Fairgrounds, 317 West Astor Ave.
WDFW officials will provide information on recent wolf attacks on livestock in the region, and on the packs involved in those incidents – the Huckleberry pack in Stevens County and the Profanity Peak pack in Ferry County.
Meeting participants will be able to share their views on wolf management and recovery and to ask questions of WDFW Director Phil Anderson, Eastern Regional Director Steve Pozzanghera, and other department staff.
WDFW actions this summer to protect sheep from the Huckleberry pack are described in a question-and-answer document on the department's website at http://www.wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/huckleberry_faq.html.
More recently, WDFW officials confirmed that wolves were responsible for killing a cow and calf at a cattle grazing site in Ferry County, within the range of the newly discovered Profanity Peak pack. WDFW wildlife conflict specialists continue to monitor that situation.
In 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed gray wolves from the federal list of endangered species in the eastern third of the state, but the species is still protected under Washington state law. The state Wolf Conservation and Management Plan and state laws set the parameters for responding to wolf predation on livestock.
The department has also established a Wolf Advisory Group that provides input to the department on wolf plan implementation. More information on that group is available on WDFW's website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/about/advisory/wag/.

Their ability to "listen" probably hasn't improved since the "Indians" poaching in the Methow and the cougar problem in Colville a few years back!

I asked of they told the wdfw she said yes and they told them it had to have been coyotes. Sounds about right.      When WDFW tries to pull the whole "it was a yote" chit, landowners and ranchers need to take full advantage and do some legal yote huntin. I dont really see how you can be charged if the WDFW tells you it wasnt wolves. After all, they know better then we do
