Not sure if they are the largest but they certainly have a bunch and their cattle are now lighter, less productive, much harder to work besides returning fewer in number for their ride to winter pasture. Tough beyond measure.
That's what happens when you are honest with WDF&Wolves, WDFW would just a soon you didn't call them for wolf predation, that way they are not forced to confirm wolves or show their true nature, kind of like the dems and open borders..
Ranchers in many areas have been taking care of wolf problems on their own, one could say this hurts delisting efforts, but as we are seeing WDFW have their own time frame when wolves will be delisted.
Livestock predation is the only time WDFW's wolves show up in the media, there is never any mention of what the wolves are doing to WA ungulates etc.
Hunt WA while you can, before long it will just be memories.
