Wolf season year around....

IMO, Good and Bad in this.

Good for obvious reasons, Bad- Could possibly delay the delisting.....if it ever actually even has a possibility of happening.

With the criteria there is zero chance this will delay delisting.  There are way too many identified packs in that region.

Anytime I see wolf tracks I’m forwarding it along to the Rez bucks bulls predators page with a GPS pin. Hopefully they change the mt. Lion regs too!

  EXACTLY! This area is far and away above the requirement for delisting.IF the Colville's are so successful they remove enough wolves to take them to less then the 5 breeding pairs in this area that would be amazing and so good for them! But I do not see that being a reality. I just see this as a good thing and hope more proactive measures are taken. I like many are not opposed to having wolves but a FEAR of man and management needs to a priority.

There's no way that hunting is going to eliminate the number of packs in the NE enough to negatively affect delisting guidelines. There are approximately 3 million packs in that area, approximately. There may be a few less than that.

Delisting is a joke I believe.   If it is a possibility I think this may move it along.   It looks like this move was a good part at making them reevaluate Wolf management in this state.

 
If you're willing to wait around for this state to delist, you're crazy. They need to be killing now and if it's only the Colville's that can legally kill them on the north half, then fine. In the end, a bullet in the lungs is a bullet in the lungs.

Simple fix, same status as a coyote, spend on them only for damage.  I know, I know, wrong state

[bearpaw]

:tup:can the tribe sell them to non tribal hunters?  Be a good way for them to make money and clean a few more wolves out

I like this comment, the Colville Tribe almost held a bear hunt for non-tribal members, it was nearly approved. Since they have management authority I wonder of they could hold a non-tribal member wolf season? I'm not sure they could do it on the public ground in the north half but they could probably do it on tribal lands.

Imagine the benefit of the Colville Tribe and the local cattle Farmers working together. 

Does Kretz work with the tribe much?

The tribe recognizes the damage an over population of wolves is having on the ungulates, and without an open season any amount of wolf control is virtually impossible while WDFW pretend everything is going along just fine. As Bone stated, if anything this will draw a comparison, and should generate some questions as to why WDFW aren't recognizing the impact wolves are having on the game herds etc.. On the other hand WDF&Wolves are probably comparing notes with their fake environmental partners, coming up with their propaganda spin, "wolves are good, they make the aspen grow and beaver flourish" and delisting is the farthest thing from their plans..

I'm talking State wide.
But Like Bone said, could speed it up also.

Statewide? Your logic still makes no sense.  There's specific regional thresholds. That region has too many wolves even if the north half has zero.

Just seen one yesterday Inchelium highway Lake Ellen turn off right by the road hope he hangs out there. Colville have been alerted.

Send me them to. I have an in-law whoa colville and wants wolf pelts.

I just got off the phone with my buddy in Republic who is friends with a bunch of folks in the tribe.  He said it was B.S. and it might be in the works but nothing solid yet.
