Wolf meeting
« on: October 06, 2011, 12:09:10 PM »
Just got an update from a couple members who are at the wolf meeting in Olympia that it is standing room only. Hopefully we outnumber the other side with a stronger voice than them.

Thanks to those that were able to attend!!

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Just got this from Rob(Huntnphool) who is at the meeting.
 This is good stuff.

Commision just dropped a bombshell on the pro wolf group, saying the actual number estimate of ungulates killed per wolf is double what their numbers represent. Thsi estimate just given to the Washington commission by the Iadho comission. Pro wolf guys backpacking fast.  It was made by vice chair Gary Douvia from Kettle Falls.

Sooo..the numbers that WDFW has been using this whole time are not correct? (like we didn't know that) They are admitting this?

Idaho told the comission they have seen a 70% decrease in out of state hunters since 2002 when the wolves moved in.

From what I am gathering, the pro-wolfers presented a number they came up with and the comission called b.s. on them.

No clue...Rob is texting me this stuff and I am posting it here.

According to WDFW numbers, wolves will likely take up to half the elk slotted for hunters


I assume this means "eventually" but I don't know.

The Idaho commission has done a great job of starting to fix the mess in Idaho. I am glad to hear that their information is finally getting some exposure in Washington.
