Wolves!

[Gobble]

Saw 3 wolves down low in the Northport Area last weekend, Also saw no deer down low...…..Coincidence, I would say so 

[Skyvalhunter]

Did you get any with your truck?

you wouldn't believe how desolate and animal free some of those areas have become, just utterly wiped out

They might be lower on north side of Mineral Mt. today.  Fresh tracks...  Beef cows still out and about.

I remember talking to WA residence about the problem in Idaho years ago.
Many just couldn't grasp it and had the "it will never happen to me" mentality.

Sad now many are seeing it effect their wildlife areas.

If man is going to manage part of the ecosystem he better manage it all.

Shoot these damn things and plant hatchery fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, SERIOUSLY.    There was getting to be decent elk numbers, some serious trophy muledeer if you knew where to look.   Not even counting the mountain whitetails and moose.     They call it progress

Ya, I've warned that rancher there about his cows gonna get eaten.   He couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with his granpa's old ottsix    

but not funny when his cows get eaten off his own private property


I let that farmer borrow my foxpro once, he called in half a dozen yotes instantly and freked out    didn't hit a one!

The best measure Ive got is shed count. In 2010 i picked up almost 150 sheds, im under 30 for this year

You just hit the root of my ire, why I joined HW in the first place.  Elk were taking off in the NE and growing DISPITE all the OTC tags WDFW handed out like crack over the years and utter failure to manage the herds here.  yet they were growing anyways!  Moose was doing great and growing numbers, mules were fairly stable

then the wolves, continued OTC tags,  cow hunts!!   GAH!!      


We could have epic herds of elk here, more than enough to make up for central WA's declines.

They do...did quite well in that country too!
