What was preventing them from hinting the north half before?

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.

Great for them!

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

That link took me to a story about depredation removals of two wolves on OR?

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.
