Because wolves can regulate ungulate populations and we won't need human hunting anymore.
bingo!

Been saying this for over a decade.

And its becoming more obvious their Target numbers and breeding pairs goal was just lip service...foot in the door.

Only a matter of time before ungulate population survey's show numbers that can't sustain hunting opportunities for OTC tags.

And in some cases "ANY TAGS".    Comes down to the agenda in place, delivery incoming.

I saw four wolves eating on a deer in a field a few miles south of Twisp this spring, I was moving right along when I went by them, I turned around and came back, and when I stopped to get a better look three of them took off like they were shot out of a cannon while the fourth on just kinda loped off, stopping every fifty ft er so to look back, before disappearing into the river bottom.

Wolves fit right in with the agenda of today, they are killing off our food.

Remember it only took 5 years for Montana, Idaho and Wyoming to delists, WDFW's own info states wolves started "migrating" into WA in 2002.

Under oath, Mech said wolves double in population each year, as most of you know by now WDFW bury their heads in the sand when it comes to documenting, confirming wolf packs, the USFWS played the same game with their wolf introduction into ID, MT and WY.


Where wolves are concerned, WDFW have lost all credibility.

I think even a lot of the pro-wolf hunters from a few years ago are seeing the agenda now.

Interesting that you don’t see the same old characters jumping in on wolf threads. Usually suggesting that either you needed to be a better hunter or habitat was the only problem for declining ungulates. I think a lot have changed their thinking with some actual on the ground experience dealing with wolves. It’s definitely a good thing if they have, problem non hunters are oblivious to the damage being done.

Or some folks think it's like teaching a pig to sing.

They have reported sightings and been dismissed.

As a hunter I don't consider poaching wolves in any way "doing my part".

To each their own. I sure don’t have any problem with someone shooting one and letting it lay or burying it.  Some good things happen that the law doesn’t agree with

You either approve of poaching or you are against it. 
Do you really want young people making these decisions?   :bash:

Wolf study done out side of Denali National Park, you have to kill 50-70% of wolves each year in order for the population to remain stable.  No amount of hunting and trapping will make a difference.

I am kind of black pilled on this. The tribes are going to have to sue and declare war on predators because they can go straight federal on the issue.  I just hope sportmen can ignore the few bad tribal actors because we are going to need to side with them to beat this nonsense.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
