The only wolf control WA will receive will have to come from the public silently getting involved.

I'm shocked how many huntwa members are okay with the number of wolves we have now, and dumbfounded how they can be okay with being halfway there and looking forward to twice as many as the current situation.....SMH.
Have no fear. We already have twice as many as they're telling us we have. :bash:

C'mon guys and gals, WDFW says there are only 122 wolves in the state. We need to trust them with the well being of all of our wildlife.
WDFW PLEASE WAKE UP & ACT LIKE A RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT AGENCY!
I'd be willing to bet you can multiply the WDFW wolf count by 2 or 3, at least. But just for fun lets do the wolf math using federal government wolf data and the WDFW wolf count. The figures come from YNP where the primary diet is elk (22 per year).
122 wolves X 22 ungulates = 2684 ungulates (on a primarily elk diet)
Wait till we have 500 to 1000 wolves!
https://www.yellowstonepark.com/things-to-do/gray-wolves-impact-elk
Quote
- Kill rates by wolves in winter are 22 ungulates per wolf per year – higher than the 12 ungulates per wolf rate predicted in the ESA.
- Since 2000, wolves have caused 45 percent of known deaths and 75 percent of predation deaths (not including human harvests) of radio-collared female elk on the northern range. By comparison, human harvest and winter-kill accounted for 30 percent and 8 percent respectively of the known deaths.
- The average annual harvest of 1,372 elk during the Gardiner late elk hunts from 1995 to 2004 was higher than the long-term average of 1,014 elk during 1976-1994. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has reduced antlerless permits by 51 percent from 2,882 to 1,400 during 2000-2004 and recently proposed 100 permits for 2006 – a 96 percent decrease from the 2,660 permits issued in 1995.
Oh goody, guess what's in store for Washington hunters? (see underlined text above)

We tried to tell y'all,...Not that anything said on this forum about wolves etc. promotes any form of caring for the ungulates from WDF&Wolves, as they are in their own agenda driven bubble.

Why don't you set up on of those poll thingy's so we can see how many people think where we are with wolves and the wolf plan is ok?
Remember according to WDFW wolves started "migrating" to WA in 2002.
