I've emailed Donnie Martorello and asked to be put on the mailing list but didn't get a response and have not been added. Fortunately I have a friend who forwards them to me. That's where this one came from.
I'll forward you the email but the first post is a copy and paste of the whole thing.

We need a "huntwa" representative, who can and would be willing to take this on?

Pretty sure Dale is/was on the WAG.
Idahohntr is/was on the WAG.
I feel like there is someone else too but I can't remember who it is.

If you are referring to me I was never on the WAG. I know that Dan is on it.

You were on some wolf thing bearpaw, what was it?

I was on the Parks & Recreation Task Force, that's it. Oh I was definitely on a stump trying to bring some sanity to the wolf plan, but nothing official.

Mortorello is a pushover by "interested" parties, who could care less about "vested" parties that are truly affected. They started up an interagency WAG and I was on that for all of about 2 months that it existed. But when he heard the other wildlife professionals around the state/region giving him advise on said subject, it fizzled out. He only wants to speak with and work with people who know less than him. He is THE "Professional" on wolves in the state of Washington.
