Hunting won't even keep them in check much anyway, but I know it would make us feel better being able to legally shoot them. I think if the more of the state was having wolf problems there would be a much greater cry for a wolf hunting season. I understand how this sounds. Ever wonder why most the people crying about delisting are in the NE wa(yes not all). It's because of what we are dealing with, what we've seen and been through. None of us want more wolves or to wish these problems for any one else. But we do want delisting! If you lived here you would be on this side of the fence!I think that is wishful thinking. Especially in Pugetropilis. Probably be more worried about how long the line is at Starbucks then what wolves are doing. Pretty hard to concern someone who works in a cubicle and lives in a condo donating money to the cliché` hugger cause of the day.

What will be the result of delisting in this state?hopfully a hunting and trapping season. They can't protect them forever! Something is going to break. Like I said earlier if there is a major out cry from everywhere in the state(not just eastern wa) it would be harder to ignore. Also like I said earlier we are never getting rid of wolves they are here to stay, we may as we'll get to enjoy hunting them and make the most out of these lemons

What will be the result of delisting in this state?We will see something very similar to our current cougar plan once WDFW delist and allow hunting. hmm, I wonder if the cougar plan is a test model for wolf management now I think about it ?
I said they wouldn't naturally make it to the Olympic peninsula. It just seems unlikely to me. If they finish off what's left of the St Helens elk herd, maybe they would make their way across interstate 5 into the Willipa Hills, eat up a bunch of those elk and work their way north eventually reaching the peninsula, but to me that seems really unlikely. Any ranchers think about filing a lawsuit against the wdfw? I think they should for the stupid plan they came up with. If they move wolves to other parts of the state, they should be sued too.

I seem to remember some bridges down by Toutle/Cowlits with greenbelts and a bit of a corridor beneath. But once across, I think they would make it up north pretty quickly. Fishers were released in the park and didn't waste much time spreading down south.
If oly wants wolves in washington, then shouldnt washington want wolves in oly?
Foot holds are not allowed either, nor will they ever be again
