I can tell you right now that where I live WDF$Wolves have bought up many of the old ranches, plenty of WDFW and federal land to hunt on but wolves and cougars etc. have limited hunting in a huge way, ask any of the locals that get out and they will tell you what little deer are left, is in their backyard.

I spent a good part of last week cutting firewood on the N. and South summit, never saw one deer in all the country I drove through. I did talk to two different muzzleloader hunters, one said he saw one huge wolf and the other said he saw 8 possibly 9 wolves.

Access don't mean chit if there is no game in the country you are trying access. Probably nice for the bird watchers.

Maybe we should get into WDFW poisoning lakes that were once the best fishing around, now, Not so Much.

Some of the Fake environmental folks have infiltrated most of WDFW and we are seeing the results, management for non-consumption-no hunting in WA is the future goal.

Years ago, I'm assuming due to my volunteer work with a wildlife rehabber in Olympia,  I found myself on an emailing list of some far left folks who were pushing for the hound hunting ban and trapping ban, and later the wolf project.

The end goal had absolutely nothing to do with protecting bears and cats. The end goal was to have a wild predator base that was large enough to push out any biological argument to keep big game hunting as a legal tool for deer and elk population control.  If enough top end natural predators were in the woods keeping deer and elk numbers in check, then they felt there would be a better chance to outlaw all big game hunting.  After all in Seattle and the other left rag cities, who wants to see pictures of starving wolf pups?

We're getting closer to their end goal every year.

Do you still have that e-mail I would be interested in reading it.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
