Bill calls for relocating wolves to Cascades, Western Wash.

[wolfbait]

Ive seen wolf sign in the washougal last year and there have been other sightings recently. Wolves are here.

Need to get some wolves confirmed, buy a cow and stake it out, it's the only way WDFW can find wolves.

I'm not sure they could find them in a locked barn!!!

Hey Campmeat, just put a couple flashing lights at the bus stop cause the wolves will think they are people with flashlights and stay away or hang diff colored flagging from your fence that blows around in the wind. This will certainly keep the wolves away from the kids and their bus stops. lol

At least that is what the WSGD is doing and telling us in Ebrg.

My insurance agent told me 2 years ago she saw some wolves in "BOXES" in the back of a WDFW truck in downtown Republic. She couldn't believe it. I questioned her and she said they are hunters and knew what they were. They don't transplant coyotes.....well, maybe this WDFW does.

True, and we can't forget Olympia, they would have to call their boss and find out whether to call it a coyote kill or cougar. Idiots.  Probably call it a stray dog, wouldn't want to freak the locals out over another cougar.

Quick!!!!

Break out the Flash cards!! What does it look like to you? Or the game reg's for a ident!

I might have some wolf pup pictures to put on H-W this spring. A guy told me about a den that had wolf pups last year, and wolves usually use the same den every years, so we will see.

It would be another confirmed BP for the Okanogan. No more blaming the lookout pack for everything.

I'm going to hand them over to our county commissioners, and then put them on H-W Make sure it gets in the news paper the correct way.

Wolves in this area have been reported to WDFW for several years now, it won't be a shocker to them.

They won't keel over in your yard. You're a 120 miles from me.......well, they do travel from what I've been told.

I have heard of wolves going 60-70 MPH down the highway, you did know that wolves like roads to travel on didn't you?

Why yes, yes, I've heard that. 2 1/2 hours to your place. Sounds reasonable I guess.....

Actually it would be about 3 hours now, I would have to drag Sheela through the mud for about a 100 yards.

Sheila wouldn't be up for that. She got stuck once this year in the snow.....

I'm gonna have to get a better shovel for my hikes into the Olympics.

The "SSS" stuff really worries me about this.  Wolves are here to stay and the biggest delay to them getting managed is the breeding pairs being established for "x" amount of time.  I believe that once they have the breeding pairs in all areas the clock starts ticking. If one of those breeding pairs gets taken out, SSS or even natural causes, then they have to wait until they have recovered that many breeding pairs and the clock starts over.

I can see a scenario where they get a breeding pair on the west side, it is established for two years and someone takes the pair out and it resets the countdown clock until there is another breeding pair established.

Wolfbait if you know where a den is magic meatballs is the answer.  Wolves and sea lions need to get managed by the public others wise we are going to watch hunting and fishing disappear.

you're sure quick to suggest that hunters would commit unethical acts. Is some group paying you to post this garbage?

WDFW are dragging wolf delisting out, SSS etc. won't change the outcome, the only thing it will do is save some wildlife in that area until the next pack moves in.

The saying that wolves are here to stay is true, it is also true that the only wolf management for WA, will have to come from the public.
