Scott Fitkin is a perfect example of what SUX so bad with the WDFW

[boneaddict]

wolves..........treehugging liberal idiots.......rattlesnakes

It is hard to figure out which I'd rather spend my time with.  

[WDFW-SUX]

There is one easy answer but only because they make nice rugs..........

rattlesnakes.

They tend to be more up front and let you know when they are going to nail you.

A coworker and I were hiking a wash last week and I pulled him away from a rattler that was standing up, toungue out and all, ready to attack.  Pretty easy way to save the day but boy could that day have ended bad.

whats worse..the wolves in your backyard or the city folks clawing your eyes out? it sounds like all in all you got it pretty rough over there living in paradise.

First off this isn't paradise anymore. We have some of the werst road ragers you ever saw, we have houses stickin out on the ridge lines everywhere, the first thing them city folks do when they move here. is run to the store and buy as many of them keep out signs as they can and plaster them up around there 5 acre lot. But they sure don't mind driven through your pasture to get the buck they just shot from the dirt road, where the sign says no hunting. I have met plenty of folks that moved here from the city that were real nice folks, and like everywhere else there are a fair share of dinks that move in also. The wolf subject is a touchy one with folks, we have some friends that are from the westside, fact we bought a dandy stud colt few years back from em, anyway I figured they would know how the wolf works. So I said somethng to em one afternoon that didn't make the wolf look to good, anyway it will never happen agin, anymore I just say things to em like, yep, them wolves do like their shikmunks, yep there real purdy.  Nother thing, if they live 10 minutes out of town, well they live in the wilderness.

From last encounters. The lookout pack was down to three post winter.  Only one pup made it.  Then all of a sudden 8 more showed up on the brand new golden doe property.  (NOT pups)  Still perplexes me.  Biologist would have to describe how that packing behavior would turn out.

"Some will say the Bible is just heresay too"

When did the eight show up on the golden doe property?  I'm not sure I heard about them.

Early this spring......

You know that is generally true, but we have a couple of places here in the methow valley where the snakes are just plum mean, and I don't know why that is, and they are also way bigger than the average rattlesnake in here. Like fer instance back up there in that perrygin ridge country, we have rode through there and them snake would be 4 n 5 ft long and we'd be 20 ft from  em and they go to buzzin and actual come at us. Lots of them snakes would still be alive if they wouldn't have been so mean. And then sometimes they won't make a sound, just haul off and bite at ya, Most the time if you arn't right up close to em, 10 ft er so why they will just let you ride right on by. but them that start mouthin off when yer out there 40 ft er so they have a problem. Up round mazama clear to lost river and that country through there has a ton of them big snakes, I killed one in there years ago that was 63 in long, right in there by early winters. I have a pictue of him somewhere, he stretched clear cross the hood of the truck an draped down both sides. All that country clear to lost river is wall to wall city folks, big fancy houses, I don't git it, they move to the country to git away from the city, then they build there house right next to each other.  Some of the biggest bucks I ever saw was up in that country around monumant crick, and back in there robertson crick, real hard to hunt. But man there's some real nice bucks up there. Don't really matter anymore about telling folks where some of the nice bucks came from, very few bucks came out of there but the ones that did would have went in the record books.

Fitkin said he's heard the rumor that the state Department of Fish and Wildlife planted the wolves here, and that's absolutely not true.

He said it makes sense that wolves came down from Canada over a period of years, and finally chose one of the valley's best hunting grounds to make their home.

Right after the game department anounced they had bought the golden doe this spring, the very same week, is when the folks saw them wolves being release outa crates on the golden doe. Around about the same time FS told the wenatchee world that the new deer habitat the golden doe had eight wolves on it that could fatten up on the deer. That would be our bran new wolves, not the ones that they been slappin in here over the years and never got caught. This time they got cot with their pants down, and they dam well know it.

Wolfbait- why can't you show any evidence at all that the DFW released wolves.  You say they were caught with their pants down, show us...You have not produced one single statement on this entire (looong and painful to read) that was backed by evidence, documentation, or records.  I'm not sure how I can make it any more clear, until you show ONE SINGLE PIECE OF LEGITIMATE EVIDENCE your statements are hearsay/rumor/possible outright lie/gossip/...whatever.  You have not backed up anything you post.

Tell us the names of the ones who "got cot with their pants down" or perhaps the folks "saw them wolves being release outa crates on the golden doe".  Tell us anything factual that you might be able to defend?   Share some of the evidence with us- not just the gossip surrounding the wolves.

I was sittin on the porch last night listening to the wolves howl an soakin my feet in cold water, when it hit me. I know now what I will do when I shoot the wolves that are after my stock. I will tear a hole in my screen door, and then drag the wolf, wolves into the house. After all if someone breaks into yer house you are allowed to shoot and kill em. So, nomore worring about where to dig all them holes. Let the game department dig there own hole.
