Sad trip to the NE.

[WABONEHNTR]

Made a trip over to the NE at the end of Jan.  I didn't really expect to see anything different than what I did because I do spend a lot of time over there and know how bad the wolf situation has become.  Lots of wolf track everywhere I went and plenty of dead animals.  I still will never understand how the moose tags can be increased when you can travel for miles and miles on roads and never see a moose track.  Pretty sad. 

These photos came off of one rd that I drove on for about 14 miles.

Couple more pics.  Last pic is wolf crap in an elk bed.

Thanks for sharing. Really unfortunate. Hey lets add to the moose's demise and throw 20 more tags out there.
Booooooooo........

It does suck to see the wolves eating them.......

That's too bad 😒 by the time I draw a tag there won't be a moose left! I wondered why they increased the tags??? Just shows you how retarded our Dept is ... They figure if they give the impression that there is nothing wrong by giving more tags the hunters will not notice the carnage?

Idaho has over 1,000 wolves, offers 190 bull moose tags in Units 1 and 2 alone, and most (*not all) of those units hover in the 80-90% harvest success range and have for a long time.  Some specific sub-units in unit 1 have seen some big declines. However, based on those numbers I really don't see 20 more tags as some panacea of doom in very nearby NE Wa. 

Not to mention, if you guys are making another one of those "moose will be gone in 2 years" predictions like we saw in a recent thread on this site, then why not let state hunters take them while there are some left?  I mean, if the wolves and the Yakamas are going to devastate the moose anyways...wouldn't you support us getting our share since they are going extinct?

Not making a prediction at all it was more of a sarcastic joke .... But as long as we are on prediction talk this is a wolf thread so I predict that some tin foil hat wearing moron will say that wolves should be moved to Seattle before this one is done! 😆 after all they say it on every wolf thread sooner or later

Yes, one wants to keep a roll of tinfoil nearby when talking wolves

Good one!

Like I said Bobcat it's all smoke and mirrors to give the impression that everything is ok but we know it's not, we aren't as dumb as they think! 😡

Good one! 

The tinfoil is for wrapping the collars.  The duct tape is for the wolf.  I'm trying to catch one to release in Seattle.  There was a new one in the neighborhood, probably looking to join the pack.

You're right. Let's just kill them all. Forget about my ideas. 
I'm not making any "moose are going to be gone in 2 years" predictions.  It would be neat to maintain the quality Bulls and the great population we have here in Washington. These new proposals aren't going to help that. If you think WABONEHNTR is just some dude throwing some tinfoil hat conspiracy theory pictures out, well there's not much I can do about that. There's probably not too many people on this forum or in wdfw that know washington's moose better than him.
