Unit 111 - Prouty Loop Wolf Pack Attacks Dogs - 6 miles from Colville

[huntinguy]

Update:

The neighbors tell me the game warden came out to the guys house and said it definitely wasn't wolves. Not sure how he could tell days afterward, so I am very suspect of that statement, but that's the story in the neighborhood. So does that mean when they come back the guy can protect his dogs, some neighbors are thinking that statement makes it's safe to protect their pets and livestock. 

Sounds like  to me. It's amazing how blatant their BS is getting....

Wolves do not attack domestic animals or people. Only hybrid animals do that... That is what I was told by someone from the DFW. So, obviously if they tried to attack the guys dogs they were not wolves... sheesh,  Wonder why they send a game warden out... they could have identified them as not wolves over the phone

wolves dont attack people in WA cause their numbers have not gotten high enough yet, just wait for the numbers to go up and the prey to go down then lets see what all is being attacked. I dont give it 3 years till someone is attacked.

unfortunately that is what it will take until the seriousness of this situation is understood. sad but true...

The worst thing is that you can't protect your property against these wolves, they have more rights than the people. 

 They may have more rights than people but... to date I don't know anyone that speaks wolf.  No witness...No crime

All,

I have said this in other forums.  The only way to truly battle this idiocy is on the political front.  Each and every person that reads and participates in these forums needs to write their representatives about these issues and the very real dangers that are developing.  Present the facts, and then respectfully tell them that you expect them, as your representatives, to put the safety and welfare of people ahead of any predator regardless of its "endangered" status.  People should not fear unjustified prosecution by local or federal government agencies by taking prudent and reasonable actions to protect themselves, their families, other people, or their property from attack by marauding and vicious predators that those same agencies have placed in our “ back yards”.  Our representatives absolutely must act on our behalf and introduce bills that protect us, our families, and our property.

Writing your representatives is very fast and easy  (http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml).  If you have time to write in this forum, you definitely have time to write your representatives to ask them for their help in battling these issues.   It works, your message gets through, and your letters/emails do make a difference.

You are exactly correct, hunters must be more vocal.

Acquiring biologists and experts from our side/point of view to testify is also is needed.
At this point science is being trumped by Federal Judges and EcoAgendas, tax collected is being robbed. Then, they (Government) are demanding more fees and taxes to cover the shortfall and fallout from what their policies have created.

I have not joined Washington for Wildlife yet.  I believe the mission of the organization is a path in the right direction; a unified front is the only way to be successful in protecting our hunting heritage.  There is another organization out there with a similar name and similar goals (at least it appears that way); they are called Washingtonians for Wildlife Conservation (http://www.w4wc.org/).  I have not joined them either; however, perhaps Washington for Wildlife and Washingtonians for Wildlife Conservation should consider joining forces if their missions and goals are similar.  I am relatively new to the state, but in my short tenure here, I have noted an alarming amount of anti-gun, anti-hunting, and anti-shooting sentiment in this region; that's not good.  I believe most of these "anti" positions are fueled by propaganda, ignorance, and emotion.  That is why it is so important for all hunters, shooters, and gun owners to unite to present the facts, educate the uneducated, and press for legislation and regulations based on sound science, Constitutional rights, and human rights.  Of course we must always battle to protect our Bill of Rights which contains the 2nd Amendment.

Just to clarify, I did get a phone call from the Region 1 office regarding my report that I sent in.

I was told on the phone by WDFW that it was probably coyotes or a pack of dogs that the landowner saw attacking his dogs in the kennel. I then asked about the fact that the landowner sees coyotes on a fairly regular basis on his property and the fact that when the "wolves" were face to face with his german shepherds they all appeared as large or larger than the german shepherds and looked like wolves to the landowner who has seen photos of wolves. I mentioned that I knew of no hybrids owned by anyone in that area (I live only 2 miles from where this occurred). I also asked what 5 adult coyotes would be doing together in the middle of the summer, there was no answer to this question. I am not sure that an officer had even been to the property yet. It seemed to me that I was being told to drop the idea that it was wolves attacking the dogs. 

This is the report on the WDFW website:

Incidently, the report is incorrect, this occurred in unit 111 Alladin

I bet it was swamp gas that made the coyotes look larger than they really were, or possibly a weather balloon that landed in the Kennel.

I vote that the officers that investigated it and told the man they must have been coyotes, were affected by some type of gas...

Not on my property they don't! If I have to choose between the life of my family or animals.....wolfy is a gonner! Penalties be damned.

Uh, why don't any of you guys put up trail cams so we can see they wolves that are attacking?  Just curious.  Lots of fear about marauding wolves and I know you guys have trail cams (or can buy one to give proof) but I see nothing.  Just a bunch of "wolves are attacking" and "I am going to shoot them if it is me or them".  I thnk you guys need to turn the lightson, you are scaring each other!
