Ever notice how common it is for anti-hunters/trappers to identify themselves as hunters when writing these type editorials? It is just a way to make themselves sound reasonable and they know there is no way someone can out them.

EXACTLY, That is one of their favorite tactics!
Bottom Line:
Wolves are delisted in the eastern third of Washington, if WDFW was as responsible as the other NRM states we would have a wolf season. If wolf groups weren't stopping the process wolves would be entirely delisted as the original goal was not to establish wolves statewide as WDFW and the wolf groups have chosen to do.
