Unfortunately they will just replace him with another nutjob from one of these pro-wolves groups;  Center for Biological Diversity, Western Watersheds Project, Wild Earth Guardians, Northwest Animal Rights Network, the Lands Council, Predator Defense, Project Coyote, Northeast Oregon Ecosystems, Mountain Lion Foundation, Western Wildlife Conservation, Farmer Frog, Indigenous Sisters Resistance, Western Wildlife Outreach, Cascadia Wildlands, Animal Wellness Action, Environmental Protection Information Center, and Center for a Humane Economy.

And of course they want the public to make decisions and rules so these groups can control the outcome and facilitate more rapidly the destruction of ungulates in order to protect them and end hunting in one fell swoop.

Let the wolves chew them down to nothing so there is no other choice but to protect them, just like the wonderful wolf.

Always find it funny how they call them conservationists when they are retarded preservationists.

Im mostly shocked the guy lives AND survives in Republic.

There are a ton of these bunny hug'n nut jobs in our rural areas.  We have one in my neck of the woods that is a complete greeny.  He hates everyone that hunts and is a prick about it.

[buckfvr]

Yep, theres plenty to go 'round here in the tri-county area too. Right now lots of folks from all over moving in around here and not a one of them hunts so far.

I'm glad Susewind took the action for the reasons he did.

We need to let the comission know we support him. Other directors would have limp noodled this and let it slide.

Dear Commissioners,

I want to voice my support for Director Susewind’s removal of Timothy Coleman from the WAG. Although a well-balanced group on the council has been the goal, members who are openly hostile to any attempt at management and aggressively and publicly oppose the stated goals of the department need to be removed. In addition, when someone is so hostile, there’s no doubt that they use the information gleaned from the meetings to tip off their radical organizations which then immediately litigate (with taxpayer money) or take other actions which get in the way of proper and graduated management actions.

Please thank the director for his leadership in this removal.

Perfect.   What would go a long way towards finding even keel regarding season setting process and implementing changes, would be to remove the governor from the equation.  Some of his appointees leave a lot to be desired from our perspective.

Convince King Co and three or four members of the forum. The rest of us always vote against him. Send in your comment to the commission.

Already done

Good to see him gone. His lawsuits, and feeding of information to other (often out-of-state) litigants, were extremely counterproductive and against the agreements made among WAG members to work in good faith.

You have to wait a few seconds for the page to load. I just tried it. The link is good.

Chase what's conservation NW's position is using all legal and proven means to control exploding wolf and other predator populations ? Like hunting with dogs and using trapping and aerial shooting to help control exploding wolf populations?

Sure you'll disappear again.

Conservation groups sue U.S. Forest Service for cattle over-grazing in Colville


“I’ve lived and worked in the Kettle River Range for over three decades and can attest to the immense damage done by cattle overgrazing each and every year,” said Kettle Range Director, Timothy Coleman.”

Conservation groups protest to Gov. Inslee

Conservation groups have appealed to Gov. Jay Inslee to intervene after an outspoken wolf conservation advocate was abruptly dismissed from a citizen group that advises state wildlife officials on the management of endangered gray wolves.

Timothy Coleman of Republic, who has been openly critical of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) decisions to kill wolves that attack livestock, was removed from the Wolf Advisory Group by WDFW Director Kelly Susewind last week.

Overgrazing my arse, they'll snap pics right near the cattle drop locations that does get grazed hard, but its a very small dot in a vast forest, a forest that is way undergrazed due to lack of ungulates! (Increasing fire fuels)

Cattle are doing what elk/deer *should* be doing, if ever WA pulls their heads out and starts building ungulate herds then we can look at overgrazing issues or potential conflicts.

June through sept is important to graze, it encourages the fall greenup and builds nutritionally dense forage the snow then covers and preserves through winter.

I am going to put my 2 cents in even if it's not worth much. I am 80 years old . I grew up in ranching and forest grazing. Have been involved  in the cattle business  most of my life. When the ranchers were grazing more of  the forests we did not have the fires we have now. We also  had more Deer & Elk and also game birds.

Yeah

Amazes me how many hunters hate cattle, mostly cause they get in their trail cams bait I suppose

All a guy gotta do is string some peckerpoles around their salt/hay/corn like a corral, use hemp rope or sisal and lash them to a tree, don't take a whole lot to keep em out.

Cheaper than feeding the cows lol

I am currently working on my masters in conservation... My ideas on this.

It seems like the lawsuits and pressure from "conservation" groups are really in part motivated by the ease of getting funding from the public. It is real easy to sell the idea of the "evil" removal of wolves but harder to get funding for real science aimed at improving policy and real conservation.

Furthermore, the idea that you can actively work to sue the board you are on and then when you are removed it is "silencing of a voice" is wild. Despite your opinion you should expect to be removed if you inhibit the functioning of the organization you are in.

ESA species and the FWS and or USFS have had lots of sue and settle lawsuits where said "Conservation groups" achieve most of their litigious funding. oftentimes this was done with very friendly insiders. One of 2 things should happen. either these kinds of funding avenues need to be closed, or  more sportsmen orientated groups should adopt these same practices so that more can be reversed when  the opportunity arises.

I figured you would be out spiking trees with your Boss and eco terrrorist Mitch Friedman.

Good thing he had logging and all forest management shut down in California, Oregon and Washington.  How many millions acres of trees have been destroyed because of your eco terrorist boss at conservation NW?Whats the carbon emissions of these forest fires the past 20 years due to forest management being shut down by ecoterrorists?
