Wolves tree DNR worker in Okanogan county

[trophyhunt]

If we lived in a state where the media wasn't fake they would be all over this story and expose this wolf story for what it is. We eradicated the wolves for a reason and it shoulda stayed that way. Exposing humans and our food supply to wolves is nonsense. Lets bring back the plague, polio, smallpox and grizzly bears,  too. After all its just nature at work...

Amen!

Sounds like a letter needs to go to The Don about the situation. I bet he would love to tick off the wolf crowd in this state.

I suggest you go to YOUR local elected Sheriff and ask him or her that question!

I and others did during the Methow Valley's water war with the state and Feds.   Sheriff Rogers response was "Yes I would have any trespasser on your property's arrested including FBI agents."  "as your elected official I am top dog when it comes to enforcing the law."    As a "elected" official they have the authority and power over any appointed/hired LEO.

I'd love to hear a representative of wdfw explain their response that 'A wolf" was involved, not a pack!

Careful now. WDFW said "A state fire crew retrieved a U.S. Forest Service salmon researcher in Okanogan County yesterday after she climbed a tree to avoid a wolf that was displaying behaviors that she considered threatening."
Then ...
“We’re still working to confirm details of the incident, but the most important element is that she was unharmed.”

 Later in the news release, they quoted USFWS by saying..... "Prior to the incident, the individual observed wolf tracks and heard yipping and barking for a period of time before the wolves approached."
After unsuccessful attempts to scare the wolves away (including yelling, waving and deploying a can of bear spray in the direction of the wolves) the individual climbed a tree and used a radio to call for assistance."

I misinterpreted something that was posted in articles and got called out on it multiple times.  I guess it all comes down to interpretation maybe. Maybe one wolf was displaying behaviors that she considered threatening. Maybe the other ones were wagging their tails and trying to give her a high five. Maybe there was only one wolf there when she climbed the tree and the others showed up later.

Now that they have been caught trying to hide facts, my guess is they will slime their story along just enough to save a little face, but the MSM stories won't change. And With the help their lackeys on hunting forums, helping to muddy the waters everything will continue as they were.

Remember the first wolf meeting in the Okanogan?

WDFW equals Peter Strzok, etc.

No, you didn't follow my link.   SAR has been sent to Mount Elinor to rescue a family surrounded by a herd of goats.  Quite the weird little coincidence.

There's a link to an article posted in this thread released by WDFW indicating there were multiple wolves there. I'm assuming when you say "their lackeys on hunting forums" you're referring to me. Please tell me how I'm muddying the water. All I did was quote the article that WDFW posted on their website.

Here it is again.

"A state fire crew retrieved a U.S. Forest Service salmon researcher in Okanogan County yesterday after she climbed a tree to avoid a wolf that was displaying behaviors that she considered threatening."
Then ...
“We’re still working to confirm details of the incident, but the most important element is that she was unharmed.”

After unsuccessful attempts to scare the wolves away (including yelling, waving and deploying a can of bear spray in the direction of the wolves) the individual climbed a tree and used a radio to call for assistance."

My interpretation is this.
She climbed a tree because a wolf was acting aggressively.
More wolves showed up while she was up the tree.

I know this seems far too simple for some. I'd love to hear a straight out explanation of what you get out of the article rather than just calling me names and flipping insults. Maybe you'll change my mind.

I already knew the answer....

Was it one goat or more that was acting threatening? 

Sorry, could not help myself....

Those goats are no joke, and they have been seriously aggressive in the past.

He followed your link, he just didn't scroll up to the top of the thread.

I followed the link but didn't see the connection between goats and wolves. Then saw the wolf thread over there and thought the wrong thread was linked. Both threads were interesting though.

Sheriff Rogers (and others) has also deputized USFS and DNR LEOs in his county giving them countywide authority instead of authority just on their agency lands.

It's amazing how many sheriffs portray themselves as "anti-fed" yet work with the feds all the time, including even deputizing them. Sheriff's are politicians, they know what they need to say to get elected.
