I thought the WDFW prediction for 2013 was for only two livestock incidents? :rolleyes:

Why these things always seem to start some sort of controversy, I will never understand.

The controversy starts with lies from WDFW. :twocents:
I don't believe they lie. They may question someone during the investigation. Just because they don't believe 100% of everything Joe Blow tells them in regards to a possible wolf incident, doesn't mean they're being untruthful.

Again, just like last time, this is no surprise. It's going to become more and more a regular, every day occurrence for people who live with the wolves.
I agree. Everyone knew this would happen and be as bad as elsewhere. It's what wolves do...in their DNA. Flags, rangeriders, fences won't change the nature of the wolf.

Why these things always seem to start some sort of controversy, I will never understand.Mostly because of how downplayed livestock incidents would be from the WDFW. They tried selling the wolf plan on really optimistic numbers for almost any interaction with domestic animals. Maybe they thought if they showed the wolf more love it would be kinder and gentler in Washington than the other areas.

Which dairy farm was that? The one that's just as you start up from the Cedonia side or one of them on over the summit? My new house is just a spit from there and I'll be roaming around that area during the turkey hunt. Guess I better keep an eye on the wifes small dogs.
It was the over the summit toward Addy.... Have not heard anything else yet.

Dang it. I didn't get my post deleted fast enough. :bash: I just typed what entered my mind first, then thought better about it and deleted the post. I decided that it would be best not to go there, but since I didn't get it deleted before you quoted................. I just didn't like how the last one went down where WDFW said the cow wasn't killed by wolves, but the rancher says otherwise. I tend to believe the rancher. :twocents:

They need to learn that we don't want them around. Every time they encounter humans, they should get shot or shot at. :twocents:

The USDA-APHIS Wildlife Services (WS) agents classified 73 cattle, 312 sheep, and 2 dogs as confirmed wolf kills in 2012. Nineteen cattle and 25 sheep were considered probable wolf kills.
I guess were lucky, but one thing I would like to know is of the animal killed how much of the meat was consumed? at least on the ones they found soon enough. :bash:

Should be pretty easy to find out, someone needs to get him a couple game cameras to set up if he doesn't have any.
He'll have to set them up so the cows don't trip the cameras.

I'd put it on food plot mode - takes a pic every 30 seconds or whatever.

He'd end up with a million cow pics though unless he's got a way to set it up away from the cows.

Kind of like having a bad guy breaking in to the house..The cops show up after everybody's gone including your property and says if they come back calls again!!.. Well in this case a wild animal is literally killing your livestock and i sure as heck would not wait for gamie guy to jump out of his jammies and come over...... My losses would be substantial...
The trap would be set and the pack thinned OR eliminated and a weird smelling black smoke would be filling the canyons by morning for the rest of the pack to be reminded by.. Answer to the 30 round magazine question!! NIIICE
Time to BE the dominant predator

I believe they have lied about the numbers of wolves in Washington. There is far more out there than they will admitt. Oh, and aren't firearms suppressors legal in Washington now? :dunno:
