As said, I'm pro-hunting but i can't help but laugh my ass off at hunters screaming "we are trying to save our herds!". Your not saving them if your trying to kill them.

We get it, you don't like having to work harder for your kills, but at least be real about it istead of that sorry excuse that no one believes.And BTW, I don't have sympathy for child rapists. I hope they die a slow, painful death. No rapist should be given a 2nd chance.

I just wanted to say, good for you for standing your ground, a good friend is hard to find and I think most of us would like a friend like you. THANKS, I understand both sides too, and just to clear the air, I have told people in leadership positions that it worries me that wolves are not doing the public perception toward poaching any good. Great strides have been made to curb poaching in recent years. Now we have a specie that is above the law and it is threatening people's livlihoods and threatening our game herds and WDFW sides with all the wolf groups to force too many of these beasts upon those of us who have to live with them.If you drive over to Idaho and talk to local residents in any small rural town you will find a large percentage who will tell you that wolf season will never end, it's open season year around. As wolf problems escalate in Washington you will see more and more people who take on that attitude. It's not good. To top off my own frustration last year a neighbor who lives only 2 miles from me had 5 adult wolves trying to attack his german shephards in their kennel in his back yard. He was afraid they were going to get over the kennel fence and had to fire shots in the air to scare them off. I asked him if I could report it. I sent email which I also copied to all my legislators and a few others because I am proactive and because as an American I have that right under the 1st Amendment. I got a call from the Region 1 manager Steve Pozzanghera basically chewing me out for copying that message to my legislators. Then he goes on to tell me that it was coyotes. (typical WDFW response)If my neighbor up the road would not have had a kennel around his dogs it's my guess he might have had to shoot those wolves (coyotes) to save his dogs. He would have been in deep trouble just like Bill White, but I would stand up for him as well, this is simply an injustice this whole wolf fiasco.Anyway, I haven't seen Bill White in probably 20 years, but he was a good member of our community who volunteered his time to help others and I have heard and beleive he is a good member of the community where he lives now. The media and WDFW want to make an example of him, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a better person than most people have for their neighbors. Let me put it a different way, would you rather have Bill White or humanure for your neighbor? (I know that wasn't fair, shame on me)The WDFW and legislators need to manup and change the law to take care of this wolf situation before it gets to the point that poaching is an accepted practice like what has happened in Idaho.

We as in the world. Nice try, though.
The man plead guilty to these charges there for he is now classified as a POACHER...a poacher is a poacher just like a spade is a spade...you can get into how good he is or how he was protecting his livestock who cares...if this guy was shooting 300 class bull elk out of his orchards you wouldn't be backing him..

Funny how they love civil disobedience when its a cause they believe in. Well they got people on the hippy side destroying property, getting arrested for trespassing and all sort of other stuff. Hell even had one set himself on fire and try to run into a fur store a couple years ago (door was locked...oops). Now there are some extremists on the other side breaking laws for causes they believe in and here comes Johny Lawful keeping all of us on the righteous path. A regular voice of reason.
