Worthless WDF&wolves predicts 19 years to delist...

And that’s not a tinfoil generated comment. I’ve seen them, multiple times.

Perhaps just like the transit packs that are in the northeast part. If they range across the border in their eyes they aren't really a pack in Washington.

Perhaps I’ll never have to worry about burning my 21 quality bull points either.

They go after wildlife until they find the easier livestock. When they have no fear of humans due to non-lethal measures being used, they start coming closer. Initially, they feed on pets, then garbage, then start testing the people. At this stage, they first get close, even pull at clothing. But without fear of man, wolves will eventually start attacking people. This has been proven over and over in Russia, Iran, Scandinavia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan. Many of these places have disarmed their populace. The government usually waits for people to start dying before coming in and wiping wolves out. And, the cycle is usually about 20-30 years. We're getting close and without delisting, our future is written in stone. Wolf behavior doesn't change from country to county. The patterns have been established and are well documented. Our idiot legislature and governor will likely wait until several people have been attacked before taking action to protect us. Don't be in wolf country without extra ammo and a firearm with which you are well-trained.
