I wasn't calling names.  The posts that were deleted might have been a bit biting but, they still should have stayed IMO.

Three breeding pair? what are the other 21 wolves doing  

Hmmm. Wonder how accurate the other game animal reports are???

There way off as usual!!!!! they want 15 pairs before we "MIGHT" have an opportunityto do something about it? There wont be any elk left to eat! You know if everybody got together and said were not going to buy a license till something changes around here they might wake up?

I think you should keep hunting and killem before the wolves do.... I would rather starve a wolf....

I was reading some stuff on the Consevation Northwest website and it states this-The Teanaway pack was documented just north of I-90 in the central Washington Cascades and the Smackout pack near the Selkirks, bringing the wolf population to five confirmed packs and 30  to 50 animals. July 2011. So this was in july of last year and now the WDFW is saying only 27 wolves? WTF

They want 15 breeding pair for 3 years before they will consider de listing them.

Lets do the math here...
H-W alone has documents 100 +/- wolves
WDFW has confirmed 27 with 3 breeding pairs

Since WDFW is 1/4 of what H-W has documented that would mean there are more like 12 breeding pair.
27=3 breeding
100=12 breeding

With those numbers it would mean the WDFW would need to confirm 135 wolves to get their 15 breeding pairs and H-W members would have documented 500 wolves making it 60 breeding pairs.

Now that’s if there is any wild game and livestock left for them to eat and they haven’t started starving to death.

Either way the numbers just don't add up.
