Would this have been allowed under a different director?

Here's to hoping wolves are as smart as folks say and after a few more instances like this they wise up.

Surprised to read that there were only 10 livestock wolf kills recorded for last year. I thought this was a severe problem for ranchers.

FYI: There's a big difference between actual losses and the number WDFW will confirm as being wolf!

The caught in the act scenario pre dates this director.

One in Nine livestock killed by wolves are confirm, I think WDFW's record is worse.

Most ranchers are not reporting wolf predation, opting to take care of the problem themselves.
