Wow that was actually damn close to some fair and balanced reporting. I'm impressed. 



let me through out an idea that I'll probably get the plank for........

How bouts we jump on the WDFW to pull the Margret and Toutle out of "special permit" status and have both units moved into general seasons for all three weapons? 

I notice a rather powerful timber company is working its way towards using the 'burgeoning' elk population to justify wolf reintroduction efforts on its lands. I notice environmentalist groups increasingly pointing their finger at the 'burgeoning' elk population around Mt. St. Helen's too......just sayin'

Sure the elk are hiding on monument land, especially the bulls, but we could have an impact on that herd if we're allowed to hunt the units around the monument.

At least increase the number of permits to thin the numbers down.  the first few years of a general season in those units would turn into a a war

That reporter asked to be on my wolf info email list to get info, he is at least trying to get all the info from all sides.
