Screw the regs, no bag limits, no license required - I'm a Wolf

[Special T]

Lets take a hypothetical you see a large wild dog, and shoot it. It looks like a wild dog, maybe a wolf, German Sheppard... The burden of proof for us is what? DNA samples? We take pictures and the WDFW says they are likely hybrids... So does that mean that i should take a "Sample" of each feral dog i kill because i could prove my innocence if it were a hybrid? If I give the state some scat to analyses because i saw it come out of a wolf, doesn't that also mean i should send it to a 3rd party to keep WDFW honest?

If you want to light the gamies up,go to the sportsmans show ask them what difference is between you chasing herds with a snowmobile or quad or wolf chasing net effect is same still stresses herd. Poachers can at least be thrown in jail.

 Just more fodder to close roads and access there. isn't it it ironic that those that love wolves, also want to keep us (motorized)out!

Just shoot them and walk away. Chances of getting caught pretty slim.

Do like the locals in Idaho, long range rifle in open country or 22mag. in the woods, shootem in the belly, let'em run away to die.

Game dept actually tells them to do that there.  Just got done talking to a buddy in idaho, has a pack of wolves in his area chasing the deer and elk around, first year he has not filled his tag.

Oh, and to the OP, dont forget to eat some hippies hiking while your out there! haha

The first year I started hunting in Idaho I ran into a local while driving around learning. This guy was about 70 and was full of info and was willing to visit. After about 30 minutes he looked at us and said" you boys know what to do if ya see a wolf, rite?"
"We that live here practice the 3s's.  Shoot, shovel and shut up."
Thats how they have been handling the situation for years now. This year things changed alittle with the opening of the season. Now they buy a $11 wolf tag and share it between the whole hunting party. If they do shoot one, they leave it where it lays that way they dont have to tag it and spend another $11.
That country over there is covered up in wolves.
This states elk herds are in real danger. Over there, there are millions of acres to hide in, not like here where the elk run across the road and hide in the "Art coffin game reserve". once they figure it out, The wolves are gonna think of it as the "Art coffin all ya can eat buffet".
I dont have the answer but I am sadend by the thought of the elk herd being wiped out in our state.
For the record, I will be practing the 3S's if I see one. And I did buy my $35 tag when I was in Idaho this year.

yeah pretty much. 

[colockumelk]

I don't agree with the three Ss. If you bury it you are more likely to get caught. My 3 Ss are shoot, scamper, shutup. If you do that chances of being caught are less than 1%.

Radio collars go in the river.

Must have drowned.

[JimmyHoffa]

I don't know about all collars, but the ones they are using in the Olympics for fishers work under water.  One of the collars is down in a hole in the river and there receiver led them right to it. They just can't get it because it is in a dangerous spot.
For wolf collars I've heard that some of the guys in Idaho thought the radio collars had GPS and longrange tracking.  So after they shot a few wolves one night, they threw the collars in some grain barges on the Snake river thinking the bios would be impressed about how the pack suddenly ended up in Portland.
