Wolf shot near Pullman! Update 11/14/2014 pg. 8

[Evil_EdwardO]

Maybe the Defending lawyer will file for a continuance and everything will be dropped after 6 months of the initial court date. When Denis Tracy was the public defender back in the 90's he got me out of a felony fireworks charge by filing a continuance with the prosecutor. As long as I had nothing to do with fireworks for 6 months all charges were dropped per say and nothing is on my record.

It'll probably take him at least 6 more months to find another wolf anyways

If I'm not mistaken,  wdfw said there are no wolf packs in Whitman county. I don't believe they ever said there are no wolves there. An individual wolf could show up anywhere.

As someone who lives on this side of the state and has family in the Palouse I can assure you that is what residents have been told.

Then you have been talking to the wrong people...the cashier that sells licenses at walmart or office clerk at the local wdfw office are not necessarily the best sources of information.  I highly doubt you had a biologist tell you or any Palouse resident that no wolf could be near pullman...wolves have been on the Palouse for a long time...perhaps you could provide more details on who said what...are you just making a generalization about some rumors you heard from friends and relatives...or do you have specific names, dates, articles, etc. to prove what you keep repeating?

I never said there weren't wolves in the Palouse. I said that game officials have said there are no wolves in the Palouse and I am not referring to the clerk at Wal-Mart.    Anyone who has any ties to this region knows they are there. Why is it so hard for you to understand that WDFW has denied this. It has been well documented how they had done this very same thing in the NE for many years. You need to get your head outta the sand there bud. Oh, and if you think I am gonna give names and specifics about reports and sightings  to a leaf licking wolf lover and defender you are crazier than I thought. If you knew half as much about this area as you claim to you would already know.

I will ignore your name calling and point out again that it is inconceivable that WDFW biologists told you wolves could never be on the Palouse.  I didn't ask for details about reporting sightings, I asked who (at WDFW) specifically told you there were no wolves on the Palouse?  You either misunderstood something or we need to find out who this WDFW staff is so they can be identified and corrected. 

On the recommended charges...I'm still curious to hear more details of the event...and whether this guy is going to plead guilty...penalties seem low enough this might be a good case to take to a jury...maybe demonstrate to prosecutors that small communities won't render guilty verdicts on wolf issues   

Show me where I ever said a WDFW employee told me their were no wolves. I am relaying info I was provided. Are you denying that WDFW has ever mislead us on the presence of wolves in a patticular geographic region? Knock it off your making yourself look stupid with your continuous attempt to spin and twist this around in circles. It's a typical leaf licker liberal tactic to continuously delay and deny to hide facts and truth.

Whitman County is the one of two counties that voted to pass the firearms background check intiative this year. They also passed marijuana legalization in 2012.

Whitman County may not be as red as we once thought.

That is due in large part thanks to Pullman and WSU. Not to.mention low grain and crop prices.

I've had a game Leo tell me there are no wolves here then I said sweet then I'll shoot it next I see it chasing deer. Then he said "NO there are wolves here and they are protected".   This was 2010 in south pend Oreille county

Exactly. I don't know if it's comical or pathetic that despite the fact that many of us have experienced a similar encounter with WDFW or some other Fed LEO, that there are still some so clueless as to see the big picture here.

Ok, lets see if I've got this straight:  There are wolves on the Palouse.  No WDFW official ever once told you there weren't wolves on the Palouse (because obviously there are).  However, someone told you that some wdfw staff told them there weren't wolves on the Palouse?  Did I get that right?  You ever play that game "telephone" around a campfire?   

[haulinbass]

So according to this our department doesn't show a wolves in that area so I guess they don't exist or they are trying to hide something or once again not doing there job that we pay them to do and keep the public informed. Seems like an issue that is never gonna end. http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/packs/  that is my

So because there's no "confirmed" pack there, that means that there are zero wolves in the area? I would guess no...

That map shows "packs" of wolves.  Individual wolves travel all over creation.  I still think this may be where some confusion comes into play.......someone in authority may make a comment about no wolf "packs" being in a certain area and someone may just not hear the word "pack".

Way to keep avoiding the question you can't answer the way you want and instead keep talking in circles.

   Sorry TF, you're off the Reservation on this one.   

I understand the point you're attempting to make about how the WDFW says there weren't wolves there (if that was said) but to say the guy isn't responsible for killing a protected wolf is beneath your intellect.

You're about to label me a wolf lover so here goes...killing wolves illegally is not the way to making a positive change.
