Sounds like a lot of time and money spent investigating.  They ought to just forget it and do something useful. :twocents:

Yeah, but if they were successful in the other 2 S's then they should be alright.

Yep they could have taken those thousands of dollars and put the money into a soup kitchen or shelter for the homeless.  I would rather have the money to by more beds for the rising homeless population in Portland, or to pay the cattle ranchers that have lost livestock to the wolves. :twocents:
Rather be dead than cool.

And on this specific incident, I'm concerned about the circumstances, unless OR is just dragging their feet. Given that it was found on private property and reported, I'm assuming the landowner - nor the individuals that found it - were the ones that killed it. Basically that the act of killing it didn't happen on the property. Again, just a guess from what's been reported. And considering the time it took for the legality of death to be determined, it sounds like it wasn't a gun shot (again, a guess). My first thought went straight to poisoning. If this is the case, and man I hope it isn't, I hope they catch the son of a b*tch. I cannot stand the thought of that - poison is equal opportunity and you cannot guarantee a target.

Human's are the top predators in the food chain.  I have been sending emails to my representatives to limit the number of wolves to four breading pairs.  If they drop those numbers the top predator can hunt them and control them. 

I have a feeling the Oregon wolf kill was shot from a distance and the shooter left.   

Does anyone know what the process is for a rancher to get his money for a wolf kill?  I know the Fish and Game department of the past made it really difficult in the past for the rancher.

Umatilla Co just received money to help mitigate loss - that said I'm not sure that it will make it any easier, but it seems they're being a little more proactive with the issue. I hope anyways.

I am wondering what the evidence has to be for the different states?   Paw print, bite marks, etc...  I know of one rancher in Montana that gets to deal with the wolves at will now.  He purchsed two long range rifles for that reason and was able to take those two rifles as deductions off his taxes because they were deemed required tools for his ranch. 

Got to love that.

I'm not sure but that definitely is awesome.

KB, I understand your frustration... There is a poison that will only affect carnies.. Wolves Coyotes.... And dogs.  :'( Without liberal trapping and the fire on sight season like we have for coyotes i would assume that we will be dealing with wolves for a long time. There was a reason that poison was used the first go around, it was effective... I think if the Feds and or our state took a little different role in this wolf issue many people may not feel the need to t take matters into their own hands.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
