In Washington..

Almost 4.4 million voters turned out for Trump's election

1.3 million were from King CO.   

I know that King CO is a lost cause, but public sentiment of surrounding areas will eventually prevail as they demand WDFW do something.   

And really you don't need to convince King CO to vote differently about wolves, you only need convince the mouthpieces, the NPC's will follow.

The two most impacted counties are Jefferson and cowlitz.

Here's the thing I don't think you understand. The wolves will probably go to the Olympic Peninsula and or SW WA. The entire OP has less than half the population of Spokane County and about 10% of the population of King County. SW WA is in the same boat. So you send the wolves to us what makes you think we have any political power to over ride the Seattle vote. Half the voters in the State reside in King, Snohomish and Pierce and that is the last place the wolves will be turned loose.
I bet a lot better chance of natural proliferation getting wolves into the counties that you think will do some good but even that won't.10 years, 20 years we will all have wolves but you will have more then you have now, delisted or not.

And Jefferson is controlled by Port Townsend, I really can't think of a more lefty place in the state...maybe Friday Harbor or Vashon?  That place is seriously far out there--lots of trustafarians with 'causes'.

I don't agree.  If all game management was done by a ballot initiative you'd have a much better argument. 

The east side is a red headed step child no one cares about and has the idea in many heads that its a wild, rural wilderness with a smattering of hillbillies (perfect wolf country right??)..but when its closer to home its no longer so far away or thought of as being so wild.  Maybe their grand parts live in the OP, maybe they got other family living in SW WA with a few goats and horses burning hay,  maybe they got some friends they know live over by Kittitas.

If it's closer to home and the locals start calling for town halls and making more and more complaints the better.  We've got PLENTY of complaints on this side of the state, we're doing our part and have been seeing some success with WDFW. 

Now we need that pressure to be state wide and sooner the better before we get a terrible director.

It's pretty  simple.   Do whats right. Do not care about feelings.  And if you don't buy a hunting license you have absolutely ZERO "censored" say. Period.  Anything else and your just weak as hell and worthless to whats best for Washington big game the economy it brings to smaller communities and those actually effected by wolves.       Period. Take no prisoners.  They released Canadian gray wolves into our environment and the destruction and millions its costing our state.  I would gladly hang them all.  And offer it up pay per view to compensate the loses suffered.



Your every Liberal vote is a direct attack on the Second Amendment and a vote for Socialism.  You will suffer the consequences.

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

Relocate a few to Golden Gardens, Ft Lawton, Discovery Park, the Arboretum and the area along I-5 along Boeing Field.  Oh and Vashon Island and a few on Mercer island. 

Bring it home to the 1.4 Million in King County.
A Smith & Wesson Beats Four Aces.

Whatta ya mean I can't have one of each?

What we have here is...Washington Department of NO Fish and WATCHABLE Wildlife.
 
WDFW is going farther and farther backwards....we need FISH AND GAME back!

Yes sir, I totally agree with Utah and woodswalker. I am sick of these people that do not buy hunting licenses and keep harping that they were here first. They are not contributing to cleaning up the aftermath, the lost wages to farmers and ranchers. The money lost to all communities in Washington related to big game hunting is growing yearly. More and more people are going out of state to hunt. Also please send a few of those extra large kittys up to those metro area communities !
