so who are you? which side of this issue are you on? just kinda curious I'm a girl we are nosey like that....I been around a while you can figure out who I am pretty quick....
Folks it is not outside the realm of possibility of it taking 10-12 years before delisting begins.
id,mo, and wy may have set the trail for delisting but i think if you add all three states population wa would still have 3 times that amount, so the problems that they have faced delisting we would get 3 fold...

Idaho's actual numbers are irrelevant (it's a different state, different number of biologists, different amount of prey base, different terrain, etc.), it's their ratio between breeding pairs and total wolves that I am using to calculate how many wolves we'll have on the ground in Washington when we achieve 15 breeding pairs. The best thing we can do right now is to support WDFW's request to add that wolf-specific biologist/tracker that was noted in the other thread. With that person on the ground collars can start being attached and breeding pairs can begin being tracked and counted. The sooner WDFW can allot resources specifically to counting wolves, the better for all of us.

I understand Idaho's numbers are not exactly the same as ours as they have tons more open land and many more animals to feed on. That is why I used 50% as a common divisor. If you think wa wolves will eat less than 50% as much as Idaho's wolves, than you must be one of the theorists who believe wa transplanted all our wolves........most of our wolves ARE Idaho's wolves.
