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:

 How is this any different than your lib/dem views on crime? :chuckle:
What are you talking about?  :dunno:
Do you mean how I am for prosecuting all criminals to the fullest extent of the law?
Are you just making stuff up?  Be specific.

Can't we all agree that there is a significant number of wolves that nobody has documented.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure people doing that and potentially getting caught in the act will continue to hinder the possibility of there ever being a wolf hunting season.
All it takes is one person poaching an animal to shut it all down. 

I hope you remember when shooting deer and elk from the shoreline on the Hanford side of Ringgold got shut down permanently because someone poached an elk. You KNOW how selectively abysmal the WDFW can react to poaching cases.

Wolf hunting season?  Are you freaking kidding me?  Especially right after they killed spring bear due to "social conscience"??

I wonder if the wolves started "damaging" eco systems and eating wildflowers if the state would finally remove them..


Nah...

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.

"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."

As far as the tribes declaring war on the wolves, well that started about the time they started seeing the "migrating" wolves on the Rez, before 2004.

Ranchers have their own form of wolf control and it don't include calling the very ones that protect them at every opportunity.

About the only wolf control in WA will be spotty, where ranchers etc., take out a pack here and there that are causing problems, hunting season probably cuts a few more out, plus the occasional SS. Other than that the illegally introduced poachers, AKA wolves have a pretty easy time.

The "nonsense" is here to stay, if you haven't figured that out by now you haven't been paying attention.   :twocents:

Like I said years ago..


SSS ain't gonna do squat

Legal hunting ain't gonna do squat,  nor will it ever happen in Washington

Trapping won't ever happen in WA either.

We Are Screwed


Idaho has done remarkably well with government sanctioned SSS, legal hunting and legal trapping and paying out very well for time and effort compensation (F4WM)

NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE -OR EVER WILL BE- POSSIBLE IN WASHINGTON!

I have stepped away from the pulpit on this topic. I don't even report any sightings anymore.

All Wolves need to be relocated to the west side of the state.  Until then their will be no “political will” to do anything about them.
