Wolves tree DNR worker in Okanogan county

[Caseyd]

Won’t need to worry about these wolves anymore.   New fire and it’s ripping I guess.

17 new starts from lightening in methow ranger district.

Wind this afternoon was really getting after it

[boneaddict]

They are getting big fast

[wolfbait]

They are getting big fast

I wonder how many years this will set delisting back? 10-20 years.....

Hope they get the ESA fixed.

He has disagreed with many things the WDFW has done over the years.

Like what?

Yes, I'm politely curious?  I've seen a definite tendency to defend WDFW.   Look at this thread alone.  It's fine.  We all have bias, and his has simply been in favor of WDFW.

It's all fake, there are no.wolves, just coyotes or family pets. All this talk over imaginary objects. The deer and elk just migrated out of the area, it happens every 500 years when the unicorns start to make a come back.
Some thing in the air make the objects you see appear bigger then they actually are.

Just like you when you see a cougar, hold your hands over your head to appear bigger then you actually are. Sound advice from.our game department.
The no wolf response from the game department is ALL WAYS SOUND AND FACTUAL.

Should start a poll on how many people believe the public would have heard about this latest wolf incident if there wouldn't have been a 911 call.

While we all may have our biases - I think more often people just like to polarize issues and it's either "you're against me or you're with me."

In reality, a few folks are actually independent and think for themselves and evaluate issues case by case using facts and logical reasoning to define their position.  I would argue Bigtex is in this camp...he doesn't blindly defend WDFW...his positions are usually grounded in facts, logic, and reason.

This is different than most folks who see a topic (Wolves, WDFW, a politician etc.) and without much evaluation stake out their polarized position and defend it at all cost.   

[Alchase]

Agreed

I don’t know if I could have stated this any better if I’d sweated over it for days...

This is something that has driven me away from forums and other social media sites over the past 2-4 years.  The tribalism that seems to cause people to almost blindly, draw lines in the sand...us against them, dems vs. conservatives, left vs right, hunters vs antis, and on & on.....
I can’t imagine having the kind of conversations f2f I see online. My mother raised me better than that...and IMO, life is rarely as simple as black or white, on or off. We are far more complex, regardless of whatever dogma some might ascribe to..... I imagine I’d enjoy sharing a campfire with most everyone on this forum. Would we have some major differences?
I’m certain of it.. heck, I have major differences with some in my family, people I love and call friends, and some really great hunting partners over the years. But the cool thing is....the things that bind us together...love for the outdoors, adventure, camaraderie, shared suffering....whatever it is... Hopefully we might all just slow down a few minutes before firing away at the keyboard

Whoa there, wolf lover!         

 
I’d love to hear one  this September ( as long as it’s not in an area I’m hunting)....and I’d love to put my first Idaho tag on one ( $30 some ) well worth the chance... sure not going to put an elk tag on it.
