Well probably because its not on the reservation so it made things a little murky for them legally. They do have traditional hunting rights up there so one could have probably argued all along for the hunting of wolves on the "north half". Either way this is good news.

[Alchase]

Great for them!

Can we encourage them to takeout a few thousand sealions as well?

I find it very interesting how as long as it doesn't involve deer or elk, the tribes get so much support... 

Where are the "Same laws for everybody" or the "I don't care what they do as long as they stay on the reservation" protesters now???

Exactly my thought.  I'm all for hunting and managing wolves but letting a certain ethnic group of people have special hunting and fishing rights is a very slippery slope.

I want to be able to hunt wolves, keep the tribe on the res. for now.

Washington has enough wolves now that WDF&Wolves could delist several times over, that being said WDF&Wolves will not delist until they are forced to do so. As far as hunting said wolves, I expect they will fight WA residents on that also. Look at the BS wolf plan they gave the people of WA as an example of their workings.

So any wolves the Tribe kills is a definite plus for the ungulates and perhaps livestock in those areas.

[Blacktail Sniper]

Which, by allowing this, just continues to allow WDFW to drag out the delisting process...

WDF&Wolves don't need a reason to drag out delisting, we have already seen they are playing the numbers game, and will continue on that course until wolves become a big enough problem that they have no choice but to delist.

The only wolf control WA will get, will have to come from the public etc..

Welcome to the the fraud and corruption of the wolf introduction

My understanding is the Colville tribe does a good job of wildlife management. Why complain when they are once again managing wildlife in a way we agree with?

Just like if the Yak's start killing sea lions, I'm going to have a big grin and sure won't complain when they are doing the right thing.

[PolarBear]

They have been doing it for years but quietly.

i don't know that I've seen those complaints about the. collville tribe, the do an excellent job of managing there game and probably have the best deer hunting in the state. The yaks and the mucks are the rotten apples. If they all followed suit with the colville I think you'd see a lot less negative feelings toward natives in general

Perhaps not, but there are countless derogatory posts about natives in general without differentiation.

The already had them, negotiated many, many years ago.  Selective outrage is a curious thing though, isn't it?

You are ignorant Jdb. Generalization of 14,000 as rotten apples. Guy's like you drive the wedge of division deeper and deeper. 

[Buckblaster]

Legal wolf hunting by the tribes was probably a plan encouraged by WDFW to share in the blame game on wolf killings, since they are tired of taking all the heat.  The tribes have hunting right authority which is backed by the federal gov't, so now some of the blame shifts from state to federal.  Makes sense to me.  I agree that it may delay the delisting, but that is only if they report the wolves taken.  Remember, don't shoot the collared ones!

[pianoman9701]

Any and every excuse will be used to delay the delisting. We will not hunt wolves in my lifetime in WA. We'll see hunting ended before they sell wolf tags.

[nwwanderer]

Nothing new here, the tribes told WDFW this is exactly what they would do, in public meetings, before the WAG existed.  The agency folks smiled sweetly and moved on.

[Tbar]

How will hunting the north half delay delisting? They are already delisted in the eastern third.  Add to that the criteria has been met west of there and it dilutes your statement even more.  The south cascades are the obstacle that  is blocking "delisting". I do agree that the plan does not fit our state though.

so your going to argue that the yakimas and the mucks manage their game wisely?? Who's the ingnorant one here?

I somewhat agree, I think eventually the feds will delist western WA and then WDFW may delist wolves in the state at which time there will be political pressure to hunt wolves in NE WA. But as soon as any hunting season is potentially possible we will see a ballot initiative for a state law prohibiting wolf hunting and that might pass.

I'm glad to hear the Colville's are going to hunt wolves on the north half, it may be the only wolf season to occur in NE WA ever!

Your ignorance exudes! You have no clue what contribution Muckleshoot makes to all wildlife and the way they manage. 

[jdb]

Please enlighten me, on all the good they do. Seriously if they're doing good things out there to promote our natural resources I'd like to know about it

[Buckblaster]

The Federal delisting has happened, but when the State delisting happens, we will be able to hunt wolves.  That's the delisting that I think will be delayed, and maybe for a lifetime as previously mentioned.

We are even managing east side herds!

[jdb]

Managing them to extinction

[Green broke]

Managing them to extinction

It's more like a pointed effort on herd health, mortality causes, population trends, establishing a data set, hundreds of active collars on multiple species, limited seasons,  predator management,  collaboration with other managers....... I could go on.

[PlateauNDN]

   managing    mucks and management are 2 words that just don't go together no matter how hard they try.   I'm gonna stop now as the BS that comes out of broke back is comical at best.
