Numbers mean very little of you pull them out of the air.Google it yourself,its been posted on here before.For the record i'm not saying that auto kills more than cougar or coyote only saying that it is our number one problem.When you have a population of people that feel the deer and elk are a danger to motorist and of no interest to them then that's where you get the WDFW way of dealing with the game animals of this state .Some would say that auto collisions are the straw.

as i already stated cars are not number 1 because more are killed by cars but because the metro bunny hugging groups outnumber the rest and push legislatures to keep the numbers of ungulates in check making collisions the number one problem for hunters.All the people complaining about the overpass being built should think of that.yes its a waste but who is making them do it and why is what needs discussed.
That depends on how you look at it.Would you agree that because of how the commission runs WDFW,that is controlled by legislatures is why we have a predator problem in the first place?Would you agree that if the masses in big metro of this state wanted to keep the ungulate herds from being predated would say so and legislature would listen?Would you agree that there has been a big push from the big metro to curb the ungulate numbers of this state because of collisions?Would you agree that all the new elk fencing put up is keeping the elk from the road ways but unlike that of the overpasses not allowing the ungulates to be able to spread their gene pool as the main reason to build the over passes was in the first place.Auto collisions have a huge part in what the dept. is or is not doing to help the herds.

This is not the reason, voter initiative in the 90s is where I'd start. After that there has been many moves made by the USFWS without regard to state. The wolf plan does suck, but that's a different story.

Btw, there are 4 wolves in central Washington eating all the deer and elk. (FIXED IT FOR YOU)
Protecting Wolves is way way way more important to libs than protecting motorists from wildlife collisions. SMH...
