You want to know what is ironic.  For those of you on here that recall my story about hitting a wolf in the forehead with a rock that killed a deer in front of me while shed hunting and there were dozens of dead deer laying around......was on that 423 acre parcel.     Of course that was back in 90 I think, and of course there were no wolves in Washington that time, especially no packs, or breeding pairs.    Course the USFS biologists all knew about the pack in Libby at the time and instructed all to keep queit about it.

I remember back in the mid 80's I was doin a little campin & fishin with the family on the Looking Glass River in Oregon and heard wolves howling all night long. I could see the rock outcrop across the canyon they had been howling from.

TWISP, Wash. (Map, News) - The 423 acres of mule deer habitat the state is buying near Twisp also will help a wolf pack in the area.

The Fish and Wildlife Department approved the $2.5 million purchase last week with funds from the federal Fish and Wildlife Service.

Biologist Scott Fitkin told The Wenatchee World a pack of at least eight wolves live in the area and would feed on the mule deer.

Ok so maybe we're paranoid, but look at Idaho for example. They introduced a few packs and were supposed to maintain them and keep them at an acceptable level. Didn't happen!!Now they are absolutely out of control. I don't want to see the same mistakes made here.

Its not Idahos fault the FEDERAL courts put the wolves back on the endangered species list...  Now that they are off that list again and the management of said wolf packs are supposed to be turned over to the State agencies, I think we'll be seeing tags in ID this fall along with a few in WA within 2-3 years.  I've talked with Bio's for the WDFW and they want to manage our wolf populations properly, but they can't do it on a short budget with very little knowledge of our actual wolf packs.  We're getting a lot better but we still need to report every incident that we see a wolf so we can convince the bios and WDFW that we have met our 'recovery goals' and can start managing them with tags and hunts...

I'm with Jackelope on this one, I think ur all paranoid and are just looking for reasons to crap on the WDFW...  Thats just my .02 though...

They never give us reasons to doubt them do they?

I found this funny "NOT" this is in our states grey wolf plan
"Washington could conceivably develop a sizable wolf-related tourist industry, depending on where wolves reestablish, at what numbers, and their detectability."

Another twist TWISP AND TOURIST hmmm find any conection there?

Sorry Doublelung, I somehow missed your post.  I agree.  At least it keeps core range from being developed and it would in a heartbeat.

Hey Scott GO F*** yourself.

Why are you "killing the messenger"?  He didn't introduce the wolves.  He used them to secure mule deer habitat.  I'd suggest you do as you suggest, but doubt that's possible with your head already apparently occupying your colon.
