LOl...Aqar..next time say hi :bash: :chuckle:

now back to the wolves...

and wheres my wolf rug?! :'(

 Hello to you all, just learning how all this works. I live in the methow Valley, Have lived here since before most of the roads were paved. Yep, we have a lot of wolves now, don't have any pictures for you but I have seen several like alot of people that gets out n bout. They planted some more this spring on the new game department land they bought this spring. They were trying to claim that these wolves just move in on their own, but then KER-Blam they got caught let them out of crates. I saw wolves in here 4 years ago and so did some other folks, and they been multipling every since. I don't know how many they have turn loose on us. Our deer are getting run into the ground at least the ones that don't have parts of their butts ate out. The new wolves that were suppose to be fattening up on the deer at their new wolf habitat killed a cow last week, so I guess venison is gettin kind of old, or the deer are already ate up or run out of there. Friend of my, said he can hear them howling sometimes in the middle of the day.  I put that site on here because I saw one kind of like it on here awhile back, and I thought that maybe some of you might be interested. Seems everyone is fighting over the wolf issue, whether they are killing off all the game, or dogs, and livestock. I found that site and thought it rather interesting....wolfbait

well, Bout the time they start eating the deer on mainsteet, seems to be alot of deer hanging in town, infact that is about the only place we see them anymore.  I have seen wolves with in 5 minutes of town as the crow flies.  I actualy do have some pictures of some fresh wolf tracks, couple of cougar killed a deer one night and come morning there was 2 wolves eatin on it, was to dark to get pictures of the wolves but I did get some goodin bloody wolf tracks in the snow when the sun dropped in.

Actually I would say that most of us like the wolves, but I don't think we like these wolves. we had wolves here for years, but not to many and I don't think they were these canadian wolves. I have lived here all my life and have been all over this country, and have seen around 15 wolves all total in several decades. These wolves are very bad news for us, we have found deer dumpings, where piles of deer have just there butts ate off, they are skinned from the neck down to their knees. I have been with in 5o ft of these wolves and they are not afraid of you, like the wolves that we had here before over the years. A few of my bow huntin freinds are not to keen on huntin with these wolves.  Over by Omak which is only bout 30 miles from Twisp they had a cougar come within a mile of town into a guys back yard and kill his dog, which tells us that deer are getting even more fewer an far between than we thought. problem cats arn't a problem as you can get them with hounds, but these wolves just kill the dogs.

if they're not afraid of people, you could probably shoot their faces clean off.

  They planted some more this spring on the new game department land they bought this spring. They were trying to claim that these wolves just move in on their own, but then KER-Blam they got caught let them out of crates.  I don't know how many they have turn loose on us.  The new wolves that were suppose to be fattening up on the deer at their new wolf habitat killed a cow last week, so I guess venison is gettin kind of old, or the deer are already ate up or run out of there. wolfbait

Hmmm- where do I start?  Show us some evidence that the DFW planted wolves.  pictures, documents,...?  Anything other than 'word of mouth' which is unrelaible at best (particularly from some mouth's)  Does anyone really think the WDFW could pull something that big off without word getting out?  Also- they would need a permit and there would be a public paper trail.  Go find it and show us.

While you're at it, show some evidence that wolves killed the cow.  There were wolf tracks around a carcass...there have been hundreds of times I've seen coyotes eating on a dead carcass.  That doesn't necessarily mean they killed it...you can probably see where I'm going with this line of reason.  Had the carcass been fresh to determine method of kill you might have something.  Until then, we have a dead cow and no idea what caused it.

I know that wolves kill dogs, but you should show some evidence that it has happened here before making the quantom leap between an urban deer population and wolves driving all the lions and deer into peoples living rooms.

Let's hear what sort of genius comments the SSS crowd has to offer up....

My guess is that the US fish and Wildlife service planted them and is providing the funding for there monitoring.

I'm curious to hear why you concur with his idea about the DFW planting?  It seems if you had any evidence at all we would all know about it?   I'm skeptical when I hear the 'heard from a guy' line as evidence  :twocents:
