Picture Proof - Wolves chasing Elk

[WaSouthpaw]

Looking at these trail cam pic's of that cow elk being chased and harassed by that small band of wolves makes me wonder what does the WDFW do when "unattended" (wild) domestic dogs chase and/or harass deer and elk?

Do they go to the game commission and ask for a special permit?

Do they radio their Captain and ask for permission to shoot?

Just wondering...? 

(actually I don't wonder - neither do you-all - just pissed off)

I'm pretty sure officers can destroy dogs that are harassing wildlife.

After reading "some" of this thread and some of the arguments people have made. I think controlled hunts should be a good answer. Not pure elimination but maybe 1 wolf per person per year,  or at-least special draws. I don't think the populations are thick enough to really do 1 per person per year,  but maybe 10-20 tags issued out yearly to help keep the numbers in check.
You get my drift.

You could have a 3/day limit and they wouldn't be all killed off.

Ok I will admit I am late reading this, but after reading it I can't help but chime in. I am a former soldier that served in the US Army. It seems that he forgot his values that were instilled too him while serving in the military. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage.

Now wolfmod you stated that you went on to private property to hunt without permission, (a crime). Then when the land owner confronted you, you pull out your military ID? You have no Respect for the land owner trespassing on to his/her property. No Honor to use your military ID to get yourself out of a jam and play the sympathy card. Certainly I will question your Integrity like bearpaw and others, I see right through you. I continue to live by these values and nothing upsets me more than someone claiming they are a veteran and brags about this kind of behavior!

Now I don't know who you are and you may have served and I thank you for your service but that gives you no excuse to break the law. Second coming to this forum one needs to be respectful when one is a newcomer. Someone who jumps in as you did will be labeled as suspect epically as inflammatory that you response was. Thank you bearpaw for your comments, they were right on the mark!

OK I'm done I feel better now.

Did anyone doubt that wolves eat elk?  I was under the impression that wolves eating elk was an accepted fact.

I'm not trying to start a pissing match, but aren't elk supposed to kill elk for food?  I view it as nature taking it's course and happy to see that it can still happen in this day n' age...

Also, if you are going to chase predators around w/ dogs you should be aware of the consequences...Geez dude.
Sorry, just get annoyed by clueless roadhunters tarnishing hunters' names.
Thanks.

" Sorry, just get annoyed by clueless roadhunters tarnishing hunters' names " ..........you are an idiot. Plain and simple.

There are those who try to say that wolves do not impact elk, moose, deer, I just like to keep them corrected, nothing like showing picture proof.

I just hope the wolves mercifully put down that cow elk.

She was obviously sick/injured/old, or the wolves wouldn't be following her like that.
