Keep it up!!! And to those who say this won't change anything,
Tom Remington and George Dovel wouldn't know wildlife conservation if it walked up and spit in their face. I started to read some of the article and then realized it was just some re-tread garbage dug up from stale old meaningless arguments about what letter a former director signed back in the early 90's. I don't understand why these fiction writers can't come up with new stuff...when you are not bound by facts and accurate reporting it should be easy to produce new material.

Would you know wildlife conservation if Tom Remington spit in your face? I'm guessing Tom Remington has forgotten more about wildlife conservation in his older age than you know in your youthful new age ignorance...There's more than just a letter but you don't care to read more or accept the re-introduction of wolves as being done with skewed facts and lies Why would you believe the "facts and numbers" of agencies that have been proven to manipulate, outright lie and steal to do whatever they want
Being endangered and being listed under the Endangered Species Act are sometimes different things.

The federal government had authority under ESA to re-introduce wolves. The President of the United States showed up to help release the darn wolves. I think its ridiculous some folks believe a low level bureaucrat like an IDFG director could possibly have stopped wolf reintroduction in Idaho. There is no believing in "facts and numbers" when talking wolves. Like it or not the federal government had the authority to re-introduce wolves to recover an endangered species...they did not need IDFG permission, they did not need to prove there would be no negative impacts to hunters, other wildlife, rural communities...whatever the concern. I understand people don't like that and many of those criticisms are often repeated as reasons for modifying ESA law; but its important to acknowledge reality when understanding where ones effort should be placed in fighting to ensure wildlife is managed in a way that protects the hunting heritage...which I would hope is a mutual concern of folks on this forum.

The USFWS was going to release wolves in WA anyway so we beat them to the punch? Or the wolves were going to migrate anyway, we just wanted recovery to move along a little sooner. Can't wait to hear why they lied to the people of WA.

I guess that's what you are forced to do when you make repeated claims about WDFW releasing wolves but you can never provide anyone with any evidence of these secret wolf transplants. Sad.
