Wolf pack to be targeted by Washington state shooters after repeated cattle atta

[wolfbait]

I cant decide if the bios are actually as stupid as they appear to be or if they are just the fall guys for wdfw......job or no job, I'd not act stupid to further an agenda for my employer.  And agenda it is when they keep killing the collared animal so they can play the "we cant find them" card.  Goes to show, there are more pro wolfie constituents than hunters.

Just when you think maybe the new director will be different, they go and pull the same bs stunt as before.  The fight isnt over, its just beginning.

Actually the fight is over, we lost after the BS wolf plan came out and everything went south from there. WA with at least 18 years worth of wolves according to WDFW, and if the truth were known wolves were being dumped in WA long before their claim of 2002.

90% of the wolf packs are not collared, at this point no one has a clue as to how many wolves WA has, one thing that hasn't changed is the ungulates move to town, and hang around homes when there is a wolf problem, a sure way of knowing you have wolves.

One top WDFW official said dumping wolves in WA and allowing them to grow out of control was the stupidest thing WDFW had ever done, but he won't say that publicly.

As far as biologist, look at Scott Fitkin as an example and then look at the crew running WDFW, the blame game can go on forever, putting them all in the same basket and you have the agenda driven Wildlands Project. This is just a big game to them and time is on their side, 70% of wolves need to be killed each year to hold a wolf population steady.

Even if wolves were delisted tomorrow, we couldn't shoot our way out of this problem. We have past the point where the public has taken the wolf problem into their hands, wolves are being shot on sight, and more then a few LEO's are on the same page.

WDFW will be the most hated agencies in WA before long.

And then there's the cougars problem etc.........

Let's just keep throwing taxpayer cash at this instead of killing the pack at one time like they should have.

We'll see if the director has the backbone to do what needs to be done! How many more cattle does the producer have to lose before WDFW acts responsibly?

OPT pack update

Director Susewind is now assessing this situation and considering next steps. WDFW will keep the public informed about this activity through weekly updates. The next update will be provided on July 30.

Full page ad in the Seattle times trying to get people to call the WDFW Diretor and plead/demand they stop killing wolves.

The ad had lots of cool facts about how much healthier the wolves make a place and how bad that mean rancher is.

I just wish they had to pay the costs personally.

There's dead cattle all over the mountains, only a small % of the cattle gone missing or killed are actually confirmed.    I go scouting and its bone pile after bone pile.

9 out of 10 of the city persona that has nothing to do but complain about things they dont understand would shut their pie holes if it cost them a license and a tag to have a voice.

Unfortunately the internet gives everybody a voice, no matter how stupid they may be, or how assinine their opinions.  Look at me, perfect example.

The wolf is about getting cattle off pubic lands and ruining hunting, so far WDFW have done their level best to insure wolves are doing as much damage as possible. WDFW know the entire pack needs to go, this has been proven over and over agin in every state to date.

This BS game of WDFW is the reason most ranchers are handling their own wolf problems, and wolves go undocumented, and WDFW win agin.

You can bet the governor has the director on a tight rope........he will only be able to attempt to fix x amount of things before he crosses a pre-existing line in the sand that no doubt inslee drew as a pre-hire condition.  Dont tread on my constituency.

FIRE AWAY!!!!

They have their agenda and the only way to end their agenda is to remove all of them from their position.

They need to figure out how to manage predators. Wether the predators are wolfs or grizzly bears. Management needs to be understood before they have to resort to killing them all. They failed to figure that part out and that’s why they are the way they are now

WDFW have never had any plans on managing wolves, proven by their BS wolf plan and the fact that they refuse to confirm wolves/wolf packs unless they are forced to do so. Look at their asinine management of cougars etc. it isn't that they don't know how to manage predators, they are managing predators to end ungulate hunting, and doing a fine job of it.

Firsts wolves and now grizzles, WDFW were doing the wolf/grizzly bear push in the 1980's, and here we are 2019 overrun with wolves and next will be problem big bears...
