I wouldn't mind helping a fellow hunter out in thinning the pack(s) but cannot afford to fork over the extra cash. I just spent a boatload on WA license and applications and ID license and controlled hunt permits.

For the record, since I already have the ID license and will be out there quite a bit I am toying with the idea of buying a wolf tag too. I've seen several in my years of hunting ID but am afraid that the moment I buy a wolf tag I'll never see another. Seems to work that way with me....LOL.

FYI: I applaud you for asking and figured right off the bat that this was a "test the waters" type poll. Thought it was kind of funny and a bit creative myself.

You have the right idea, but probably the wrong community.  Maybe find a ranch out that way that's lost some stock, they'll probably fix you dinner, iron your socks if you ask.

The economy sucks for everybody.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I'm thinking about a kudu hunt in South Africa. Can someone else pay for it please? It'll help the meerkat population.

I donated money to Big Game Forever for their wolf fight.  I figure a few dollars to Saylean for him to try to kill a wolf would be money well spent too..........
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

My thoughts exactly.

I agree with everyones points, its just that a couple bucks isnt going to break the bank and if it can bring someone else the joy of hunting and reducing the wolf population im IN.

OK, sorry for my earlier, sarcastic response. But, I'm saving my $s for my own tags. Good luck.

Sorry if this steals any of your thunder Saylean, but the way I understand the wolf tag system, there will be a quota, and once it gets filled, they will shut off the season, right?  Is there any chance that the quota won't get filled?

That quota wasn't even remotely close to being filled last wolf season.

hell i will throw in 20, no sweat, what would be cool is if you have a drawing for who ever donates for the wolf pelt, you will still have the satisfaction of whackn a wolf and you would have lots of pictures i am sure. but hell i will donate 20 even if you dont want to have a drawing, hopefully it would be one less wolf......

Ya, I think a lot of people took me the wrong way on here or should I say, way too serious.... I wasnt even looking for a 20 dollar donation...I was more thinking a buck... A  generous offer Jack BTW. Mainly, I brought it up, since there are usually massive threads on here on how so many would do anything to kill the big bad wolf, several of which post that SSS is ok (which I dont agree with). So, my theory was that if they feel that way, why not donate a buck, .50 cents, two bucks, etc to someone who is going down there anyway. As ive said, the worst they can say is no!

And no, I wouldnt need gas, food supplies, donations  :chuckle: etc...Im sure my brothers and I, with pops, wont have a problem with all that, we got tons of elk to eat, by then a few bears probably etc.... ;)

Thanks for all who voted and put in their two cents! I appreciate it!

Cheers!
