Many just couldn't grasp it and had the "it will never happen to me" mentality.
Sad now many are seeing it effect their wildlife areas.
If man is going to manage part of the ecosystem he better manage it all.
Shoot these damn things and plant hatchery fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They might be lower on north side of Mineral Mt. today. Fresh tracks... Beef cows still out and about.
Ya, I've warned that rancher there about his cows gonna get eaten. He couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with his granpa's old ottsix :chuckle: :chuckle:
but not funny when his cows get eaten off his own private property
I let that farmer borrow my foxpro once, he called in half a dozen yotes instantly and freked out :chuckle: didn't hit a one!

The best measure Ive got is shed count. In 2010 i picked up almost 150 sheds, im under 30 for this year

I know, SERIOUSLY. There was getting to be decent elk numbers, some serious trophy muledeer if you knew where to look. Not even counting the mountain whitetails and moose. They call it progressQuote

You just hit the root of my ire, why I joined HW in the first place. Elk were taking off in the NE and growing DISPITE all the OTC tags WDFW handed out like crack over the years and utter failure to manage the herds here. yet they were growing anyways! Moose was doing great and growing numbers, mules were fairly stable
then the wolves, continued OTC tags, cow hunts!! GAH!! :bash: :bash: :bash:
We could have epic herds of elk here, more than enough to make up for central WA's declines.

I was asking hoping it was the wedge GMU105 hoping for a little tribal retaliation. I am very aware of the wolf situation there. Suffered some loss myself. Will be hunting 111 on my private ground this weekend. Have a good buddy from the REZ has killed 2 already sort of grown a taste for shooting them.
Mineral Mt. in 105 covered top to bottom with wolf tracks on yesterdays snow. Bring it!!

You are right, we didn't see a single Mule Deer this weekend, we usually do, we did see some WT but they were a way aways from where we saw the wolves, these wolves were literally right down to the river close to homes

They are trapping and shooting a few. They are being pretty quiet about it though.That's awesome. The colville tribe does fantastic at managing there critters
