Fish and Wildlife Commision Meeting 12/3

[KillBilly]

The cost is small in comparison to the loss of revenue that is in the future....remember Idaho.... instead of the Alamo....

[KillBilly]

I think that we need to put together a well thought out letter to the commission. It should be concise and precise in communicating our dissapointment in how they represented the Hunters and Outdoorsmen of the State of Washington.

That is a very good idea Killbilly

Mahnken just added some excellent statements.

We are going to get stuck with this plan as amended. It's too many wolves to start with and there is great risk of herd losses, but at least there are some good added amendments.

He did in fact, up until he folded and accepted it.

Miranda made some good statements too until she buckled.

He had already accepted it, he was just adding comments.

[KillBilly]

I'm pissed...let's send each of them a wolf for Christmas.

[bearpaw]

It has all passed now (with amendments).

Well I am very disappointed that we are stuck with 15 bp's. The biggest problem is the WDFW ability to monitor. By the time they say we have 15 bp's it will be closer to 100 bp's just like the other states.

Right now we have over 100 wolves and the WDFW thinks we have +-30....

I see lots of the public there, I didn't know it was open to the public or I would have gone downtown this morning.

Every hunter needs to send a letter, and we need to draft a letter from "Washington For Wildlife".

[KillBilly]

We should make them right... they can't miss what they don't know they have.

I just don't see the plan having any affect on what happens with the wolves in this state. With or without a plan, they are going to increase in number and spread across the state into suitable habitat. They talk about "control" but what is that? A wolf hunting season? If that ever happens how many wolves will actually be killed? I'd guess not enough to make any difference at all. The only problem I may have with the plan is if they end up moving wolves around the state into areas that don't already have wolves. If they don't get there on their own, then they don't need to be there, ever, in my opinion.

I for one am looking forward to another predator in the mix for me to hunt. I do wonder though what's going to happen to the first hunter that a pack decides is sposta be dinner though. They haven't given us an out that would protect ourselves. I know the odds are small, but they have happened. Also, I don't believe any of the commissioners folded. It was unanimous. They were all going to accept it no matter what anyway. Wonder what they are actually going to spend the federal $$$ on. If you look at what they're getting, those dollars are not going to surplus the state, they would barely pay for all of the things that a large wolf population would bring.
