I agree that the plan calls for an excessive number of wolves before de-listing can occur, but I still have to wonder if it really matters. The wolves are coming here on their own, they're going to increase in numbers with or without a written plan, and when they do finally become relatively abundant, there will be nothing we can do to control their numbers.  (unless they're going to allow the use of poison, traps, and aerial gunning)
Big difference is in the number. Wolves have been working their way down the Cascade range for eons and the numbers have been controlled. But to enhance that by the numbers they are stating has a exponential affect on big game hunting in WA. Relatively abundant will is not the word I would use it would be more like impacting existence.

How are they "enhancing that"?

Just a quick question for Bobcat- Let's say you bought and moved into an old homestead with a barn. Your neighbor informs you that the homestead once had rats but the previous owner poisened them off. The neighbor on the other side of you liked the idea of rats living in your barn and planted some in there without consulting you. Over time the barn became so infested with rats they start moving into your house. Now the question is, did these rats move into your house on thier own?

Someone actually gets my point! Huh

They must have introduced them here... Lord knows the damn wolves aren't able to just walk across the border from Idaho... what with that big giant fence/ditch/moat at the state line.

Since the WDFW has trapped, tagged/collared wolves in various areas of WA and has been monitoring them for years now, I assumed that they had a hand in placing them here.
Everyone knows a wolf can walk jackelope.

Its not a matter of are it is more will be as in introducing the numbers they are proposing.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

You might be surprised given some threads on this topic in the past few years.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
