Wolves in WA

[WAcoyotehunter]

My biggest problem with the wolf reintroduction is that it is not a "reintroduction".  It is a non native species to the lower 48 states.  The wolf that populated the lower 48 was smaller, weaker, and more succeptible to the elements and disease.  Nature could help control their numbers.  You may as well bring in Polar Bears.

You're right...that was a bonehead move!  I'm not sure where they were native to, but they are a bigger animal than the "original".

My Brother lives up in Whitefish and He says these animals Do so much damage it cant be controlled using legal methods. The 3 S system is what he says the farmers use. Shoot, Shovel,Shut up. Wildlife has to be managed. Period. I Do not mean managed with illegal pratices either.

I would love to be able to get a wolf tag and participate in a lower 48 wolf hunt, but i don't agree with the SSS rule.  It's not worth getting in BIG trouble for.

Poisoning, snaring and trapping are best bets for wolf control

[WAcoyotehunter]

I'd like to trap one also...
Poisoning is a bad idea because of the nontarget kill...birds, scavengers,...

[JoshT]

I think he meant 'lead poisoning'.

[WAcoyotehunter]

Poisoning used to be a popular way to get rid of predators.   People would lace a carcass with poison and let the critters eat on it and then die.  The problem is you have NO way to know what's eating the poison.  I suspect lots of birds and other non target animals died that way.

It worked well in eradicating the wolves the first time.......
