This really isn't much of a change, the only difference from WDFW past actions, is they are saying it out loud now.
Livestock predation is about the only way they "count" wolves, the illegal wolf introduction into ID, MT and Wyoming was eligible for delisting in 5-6 years, WA now has at least 18 years of wolves, just how long will it take for WA to finish up on wolf recovery?
When there is nothing left to hunt? Notice WDFW never have much to say about the decimation or the impact wolves have on the ungulates, and if they do it's utter BS.
Need to vote in a new governor and overhaul WDFW!!!
