Mr. Coward estimates by removing eight wolves he’s saved close to 160 elk.

"That’s a lot and that’s huge," he said. "I’ve come across elk that are still alive that have been chewed on by wolves. The wolves just ate the hind end off and the elk can’t walk anymore. I decided I was going to learn how to harvest wolves and try to save some elk."

Apparently there are some folks in WA who feel the same! :bfg:

If i knew who did it it would take another 0 on the end of that number to tempt me.  Tax free of course, in cash.

I don't support poaching...so whatever amount these groups want to offer up to catch someone doesn't bother me.  I'd rather their money get spent on something like this than more silly lawsuits.  :twocents:

Wasting their time, no sportsman in their right mind would say anything. Assuming anyone even knows anything. Guys get greedy though when they see dollar signs floating around like that. Darn wolves  :puke:

too bad that's what this is considered is poaching then because whoever did this just helped the deer or elk in that area.
 :hello:
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Through the ESA the USFWS and state game agencies who promote/protect wolves are poaching the game herds/livestock with an illegally introduced wolf. Funny how the poaching term has been turned around to promote the fraud.

I don't see anything funny about poaching wb.  Also, what illegal wolf introdcution are you referring to?  I'm only aware of wolves legally introduced by the USFWS to Idaho and YNP.  You remember...the ones that were adjudicated and the 10th cicrcuit upheld as legal  :tup:  Its fine you disagree with re-introduction decision, I do as well...but continuing to tell the same lie that the introduction was illegal does not make it true.

We have already had this discussion and you came out in second, as far as being funny in the way you described above, you know is BS, but then that's usually the trail you travel.

Poaching? Anyone and I mean anyone who hunts and still supports wolves is an absolute moron!!  These same morons complain about not seeing game! Tag prices to high, not drawing quality tags!!  To call these folks who killed this wolf a poacher is absolute ignorance. 

Here is the line!!! -------- your either on this side or that side..  To hell with any wolf taking my love of hunting away!!  I've worked to hard and spent way to much time and money helping out elk, to have some wolf lover try and bash my fellow hunters!! Kill every damn wolf that is alive....  They were brought here in total secrecy from the hunting community, we were lied to and still are being lied to!!!

Dont like my post, go hug a damn wolf and leave hunters alone.. 
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Your anger is misguided and I don't believe the issue is black and white.  Its not a kill them all or don't kill any...those are the sides that get the most attention and as usual the reasoned voices are drowned out.  Hunters are the ones who ultimately lose if we are portrayed to the public as supporting any kind of poaching.  :twocents:
