It’s why they aren’t a game animal and have seasons or bag limits like they should equivalent to ID. The feds turned them over to the state and the state gets to decide how the resource is managed or in this case mis-managed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well after just returning from a deer hunt in 101, i see the need to remove a wolf or 2. The area I tend to hunt in the 101 has in the past 7 yrs had many deer seen every day, with sign galore. This yr although deer were seen, it was a small number compared to yrs past. Opening day, I ran into a wolf track in the soft dirt. The next morning roughly 1 mile from the track I heard several wolfs howling across from me on the next ridge. This was all fairly close to Sherman pass. |

Major cluster --- End quote --- The largest cattle producer in NE WA, who has suffered more cattle loss than any other producer in the state, refuses to accept a dollar from wdfw for depredations --- End quote --- Do you know why he won't accept any of their money? --- End quote --- I think it’s a matter of pride, he told me that one day and I never dug too deep on it. --- End quote --- He probably understands that taking money from government in this case could essentially be contracting. WDFW doesn't just show up with a check. Its one big game, I wouldn't except money either. I was told I could get a elk depredation tag after 200+ elk ran through all my fences, and I said no. Giving out depredation money and tags does nothing but give folks a warm fuzzy. WDFW just plain needs to manage OUR wildlife better. It is an absolute chit show and seldom will they determine its a wolf kill anyway. I was told a wolf attacked my cow, but it would still be undetermined since they didn't dee the wolf. I cant even gather my thoughts on this subject, it pisses me off so bad.... |

Sounds about right… Getting reimbursed for depredations is small potatoes compared to mother cows that should have 90% pregnancy rates, yet are closer to 60% now due to stress. Or the fact that cattle aren’t gaining weight on summer range because they’re constantly running for their lives instead of grazing. |

It was not a King County Judge it was a King County Court Commissioner who was/is appointed by judges to give preliminary rulings on certain cases until a judge is available. Most liberal news are being intentionally deceptive in how they report the story by using the term "Judge". |
