Fish & Wildlife Commission Special Meeting (Nov. 3-5) Agenda - Spokane

me too ... it will not belong before we are hunting wolves like coyotes... what a bunch of freakin idiots    lets not plant turkeys but we can plant wolves ...all the years of hard work to get elk populations where they are today and now we have a few they cant figure out how to control the herds in over populated areas  I think its called HUNTING

Parts of it sounded good to me, other parts had me scratching my head.

Who knows, maybe if we had known they sent WDFW a letter at all, we could have convinced the to support our position. It is obvious they weren't aware of us or our position on the Wolf subject. .
We are where we are, and I don't think that we are in a bad position at all. We have made an impression as an organization and a group of individuals that can and will work together towards one goal. We presented science based data and arguments. We prepared and delivered. Believe me they know who we are and we truly have gained their respect. We learn from our mistakes and short comings.

I am not saying we have lost this battle. I am still positive we have a good chance of getting the Wolf plan rejected. I think we need to put together a few more well worded and thought out  letters to the Commission. If we can get 2-3000 of us to mail or e-mail them it sure won't hurt. With  9000 heads of colleagues we should surely be able to muster that much support.

Completely agree Al.

KXLY over here is running some special in a few days about "The Big Bad Wolf" or something like that.  Can't wait to see how that pans out either

I thought the letter sounded like they didn't want to step on any toes. Maybe they are in the middle of another big land deal. Bottom line is the letter had no teeth, it was kind of like saying we really don't want to see wolves in Washington, but we're with you no matter what you decide. 

I am glad that they at least sent a letter.....

Bingo.  I thought they made a decent effort at expressing the concerns of the hunting community, and they clearly did some homework on historical wolf depradation on ungulates in neighboring states ....... but at the end of the day they came across as saying "we're with you no matter what Phil"
