Title: Everybody see this?
Post by: buglebrush on August 04, 2018, 10:57:22 AM: Join F4WM! Seriously, if only a small percentage of the people who are concerned about the devastating effects of wolves joined it would make a real difference! This story from Colville is becoming far too frequent.

Post by: wolfbait on August 05, 2018, 06:59:59 AM: The last comment pretty much sums up how smart wolves are, the old trappers had some pretty good stories about how smart wolves were in the trapping department and now the "new" wolf trappers have been learning the same.

WA has had 16 plus years of wolves, and WDF&Wolves still refuse to confirm enough wolves to delist, instead they predict when wolves will be delisted.

If I was Idaho I would be more concerned about WA wolves spilling into Idaho.

We need the same thing for WA, put pressure on WDF&wolves to be honest to the people of WA.

Confirm wolves/wolf packs that WDFW refuse to confirm etc..

WDFW seems to be not very good at managing lots of animal numbers. Aron Snyder from kifaru always tells the story about how he has more goats in one picture than there are supposed to be in the whole unit. That's for a different thread though...

Lots of elk there for them to prey on.
