Twisp family denies killing gray wolves - Wenatchee World

[MuleySniper]

Aside from the other charges I would not call this man a poacher if he had a legitimate reason for killing those wolves. Elk don't come and kill your livestock...

The eagle part says it alone. Plus he broke many, many laws willfully. Whatever he is, he is a criminal through and through for this. Deliberate actions speaks mountains about a man. Vigilantism is the wrong course, and he is gonna pay for it.

Maybe I missed something but I never saw where he's been convicted of killing an eagle.   

[humanure]

It is still pending, but they have found eagle parts in his possession. Thats something that you DO NOT mess with. I think's its 2nd behind attempting to assassinate the president, hahaha. It's that serious.

So how would you remedy the situation if your main source of income was cattle? Lets say you lost 10% of your income each year to wolves, hypothetically of course. What if it was 20%? How is this fair?  I agree on your other statements. The guys sounds like a turd. I'm assuming the only charge was the killing of the two wolves. All other charges set aside. I don't think there is any debate there.

Doesn't matter. He broke the law. Find evidence and get the Defenders to pay for your loss. Thats your options. If you don't like it, change the laws.

Yup! Were working on de listing wolves! Oh yeah, and that sounds real convienient too. When was the last time the working class got "paid" by the govt? LOL. Too many leeches and welfare scum to take care of first.

What if i were a blueberry farmer like my neighbors and have problems with ungulates eating their livelyhoods? Can I shoot the ungulates out of season for that reason? No, that is POACHING. Wolves are not yet on the huntable status, the man poached, plain and simple. Protecting his livestock is just a conveinient excuse for him.

Which is why hunter need to stop trying to take matters into their own hands. I mean, conspiracy to poison???!!! Did he not realize how many animals, ungulates included, he would have killed? The poison leaves the animal, stays in the soil, and the grass maintains it in their blades, which ungulates eat. What an asswhole!

[JimmyHoffa]

Depends on the types of poison.  Some kind will kill the creatures that feed on the carcass.  Others will dilute after killing the wolf and pose little to no threat to the animals/plants nearby.

I wonder if they'll have a draw for multi-season wolf tags. If so, I'll be in!
