Milo strychnine for killing gophers would do just fine.Can you even get that anymore? I got a couple fields ate up with gophers and sesrched around for pellets and a gopher planter.

The anti's just love to see statements like that, I'm sure. I hope I'm not alone on this site in this regard, and I don't believe I am, but I stand against actions like this. Not the way to work towards resolution of conflict over management of wildlife (which is difficult, I am aware), or convince the broader public that hunters can be trusted in the stewardship of wildlife. Terrible!!! Perchance did the article mention a recipe? (Asking for a friend)

Unfortunately, this is impossible to stop. I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often. I think some forget that it is only the good will of the hunting community makes this whole wolf experiment possible. I don't like to imagine the scenario where this good will is lost
Gross mismanagement was always going to lead to public intolerance, look how far WDFW has fallen in public trust, especially when they call a wolf depredation on cattle an angry badger, a coyote, domestic dogs, or coyotes.."game wardens" had to freaking call Olympia to get approval to call it a wolf attack even when the calf was still alive, its arse eaten out, and the pack howling 100 yards away. These actions led to Stevens County getting their own large carnivore person, Jeff Flood, and now Klickitat county is doing it over there.More counties are going to follow suit.WDFW is in a political quagmire, stalled, they cannot do their job.
I understand what folks are saying, but I am also dismayed by support of other folks breaking the law, whether we might agree with that law or otherwise. Some folks are apparently ok with people illegally killing wolves. Folks want to ride their e-bikes on land where it isn't allowed because they want to write their own definition of what is a motor. They want to hunt for free on timber company land and tribal land because they used to be able to. They don't want to submit a tooth for WDFW research because well...screw the WDFW. Folks want to carry a firearm in businesses that say no weapons. The list goes on. Continuing the train of thought, why should we feel constrained to a 3-point minimum in mule deer units? Why even follow the season dates, for that matter? And the license and tag fees? Why give that money to the f'ing WDFW??? Take some steps down a slippery slope and there might not be any rules at all.

Take some steps down a slippery slope and there might not be any rules at all. When citizens are ignored, blamed, defamed, and financially hurt without remedy you will see abandonment of the law. While we dont have to accept this lawbreaking, acknowledgement isnt approval. The Anti Hunting forces wont treat sportsmen better if/we condemn these actions. they will just use them against us. Make no mistake the "Middle Ground" is sportsmen continually capitulating until our sport is gone, or so reduced that it cannot influence the general public sentiment.
