I'm surprised to hear that Jay Kehne wants to take a look at tweaking the plan. It sounds from the quotes that he's finally coming around to seeing the damage these eaters are doing to the ranchers and their families and communities in the NE. Although I'm unsure the changes would solve more problems than they'd create, it's at least an indication that some of the commissioners may be starting to assess this realistically.

Very accurate post. I think Jay Kehne is starting to see the light, or has saw the light. Jay Holzmiller is an excellent Commissioner as is Bob Kehoe. Some will want to and rave about Kehoe on fishing issues, but I am speaking on hunting issues only. Don McIsaac is a very intelligent man. This is such a tough issue. The NE part of Washington is being devastated by wolves. They need relief. We will never get this issue resolved in this state until wolves are federally delisted.
Would it help to put them in ONP to control the goats?

The fact that the plan refused to acknowledge this potential is why there is such little trust.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
Yes, 1/3 of WA is delisted, there could be wolf management in NE WA if WDFW would modify their own ridiculous wolf plan. Our moose are being absolutely devastated by wolves. My friends who used to shed hunt for moose antlers have completely quit hunting moose sheds. Areas that have been impacted hard by wolves only have about 30% of the moose that used to exist, some of my shed hunting friends think there are less moose than that.

Sounds like Kehne may have ruffled some feathers in CNW.
