I'm planning on going, unless the boss gives me the veto
Ok so I have been gathering some old info. There used to be a link in the WDFG about the wolf report's such as documented kills/ wild and livestock. But I can't find it any more.I did find the photo of the Agent posing with a male in Pend Orielle county in july 08.Any one find the link put it up please
The meeting last night was pretty tame.The Audubon society hosted the speaker, It started off about the history and biology of the wolf, how easily they disperse (travel) etc.In the Northeast corner there are 3 distinct packs, Diamond, Salmo, and one they call international as it is on the border in the very NE corner or Wa and upper panhandle.The diamond pack covers about 400 sq miles.They are unsure how many breeding pairsThe Diamond pack has had at least 2 consecutive years of breeding pairs. They have been documented in Pend Orielle county at least since 8/07, their range is from about sullivan lake to Mill creek, PDO river to priest lake.He commented that the dept would take care of the ungulate population in the region, using lethal or non-lethal methods to control the wolves, but stated until they are delisted federally there is nothing that can be done (unless I misunderstood this comment).At this time you cannot kill a wolf---even if it is attacking your petWasn't really the crowd to be in to get into much of a discussion about how he really felt about the wolf/ungulate dilema was my impression. (trying to be politically correct) There were at least a couple other Hunt wa members there, maybe they could add more of their impressions.
