Sad to see explicit cheering of illegal actions that condemned some animals (who had no choice in their selection of species-level biology or geographic location) to a prolonged and agonizing death.  The anti's just love to see statements like that, I'm sure.

I hope I'm not alone on this site in this regard, and I don't believe I am, but I stand against actions like this.  Not the way to work towards resolution of conflict over management of wildlife (which is difficult, I am aware), or convince the broader public that hunters can be trusted in the stewardship of wildlife.

A few weeks ago I'd have been right there with elkboy, but our commission pulled the rug out from under us all, disregarded science, disregarded WDFW's hard work, disregarded the truth, and even disregarded the law....and banned spring bear at the behest of their .org loyalties, orgs whose members have been spiking trees and breaking laws for decades. 

My G.A.S ran out, my tank is dry. 

Wildlife management is no longer affected by hunters doing the right thing.

I should have been more clear- it was more the statements above endorsing the poisoning that would erode public confidence.  You're right, we don't know who is responsible or their specific motives.

Just a form of civil disobedience. The left has swung the pendulum too far left. Acts like this in Oregon are going to continue to happen until urban centers come to the table and actually finding some middle ground. Oregon’s plan doesn’t allow hunting in the end if I remember correctly. There going to get push back and rightfully so.

I think you were very clear with a statement “explicit cheering of illegal action”. 
:dunno:  I didn’t quite see it that way. 
It would be like saying some people’s comments expose the tightness of their skinny pants.  Kinda confusing, but I think it’s all in fun and you kinda assumed.

Title: Re: Oregon Wolf Pack Poisoned
Post by: elkboy on December 02, 2021, 07:47:22 PM
I hear you all.

My reaction to this had more to do with illegal poisoning, and the hunting community's response to it, than with frustration over wildlife management. 

And I do hear you guys, including the spring bear decision KF mentioned.  If the commission went against the best available science, and I haven't read up much on the spring bear issue yet, then I agree 100% that's a problem.  I understand the frustration and anger over legitimate concerns.   My response to anger and frustration, though, could never include the use of poisons on wildlife, or condoning it, or cheering it.

Depends on the poison.

An m44 cyanide dispenser is pretty dang quick.

Antifreeze not so much, I wouldn't wish that on any creature.

There are humane options for poison.

Do not interpret this post as an endorsement or advocating for such.

Title: Re: Oregon Wolf Pack Poisoned
Post by: Colville on December 03, 2021, 08:43:19 AM
Ldennis  recipe = Aldicarb.   That's the rumor, I have no personal experience with the stuff.

The trouble with peoples responses is that the tradition of treating law as inviolate has been predicated on the legitimacy of both the process and intent of the law.  Do the people in WA and OR feel that game management is transparent and legitimate?  There's actual intent in the west to diminish hunting and to do so through predator recruitment (among other things).  It's part of a larger position that fewer hunters creates fewer gun rights proponents.  Wolves aren't inherently good or bad.  The people who have forced them on you and who have ruined hunting in some areas, they are not doing game management. They are doing people management.  One can argue that bad law should be changed with good law, understood. But when a house is on fire, you'll always see folks make a bucket brigade rather than just hope FPD will be around soon.  I'm not going to risk my livelihood and well-being with wolf civil disobedience, but I can't possibly fail to understand why others will.

The wolf problem is a simple one!  "hello, I am from the government, I'm here to help"!!

IF you were ever around and involved in the PNW "Water War" you'd understand.  There were two things that came to bare against the farmers/ranchers.  One, government didn't believe in underground recharge and Two, predation was not a problem(salmon listing battle).

NOW, when simple common sense doesn't come to play in a biologist mind or government agency YOU are going to get SCREWED by them!!

There was a "reason" the ole timers dealt with the "wolf" in the ways and why they did.  AKA: common sense!

Just another example of our "educational system" failing to teach!  They've done a bag up job at indoctrination though!!

Aldicarb...(Temic)  was a highly restricted use agricultural insecticide and has been off the market for years.  the purchase and use required all the necessary pesticide licenses( I at one time had all of them).   Always possible someone had some in the back of a shed somewhere.

Not a smart move at all

Gross mismanagement was always going to lead to public intolerance, look how far WDFW has fallen in public trust, especially when they call a wolf depredation on cattle an angry badger, a coyote, domestic dogs, or coyotes.."game wardens" had to freaking call Olympia to get approval to call it a wolf attack even when the calf was still alive, its arse eaten out, and the pack howling 100 yards away.

These actions led to Stevens County getting their own large carnivore person, Jeff Flood, and now Klickitat county is doing it over there.

More counties are going to follow suit.

WDFW is in a political quagmire, stalled, they cannot do their job.

I understand what folks are saying, but I am also dismayed by support of other folks breaking the law, whether we might agree with that law or otherwise.  Some folks are apparently ok with people illegally killing wolves.  Folks want to ride their e-bikes on land where it isn't allowed because they want to write their own definition of what is a motor.  They want to hunt for free on timber company land and tribal land because they used to be able to.  They don't want to submit a tooth for WDFW research because well...screw the WDFW. Folks want to carry a firearm in businesses that say no weapons. The list goes on. Continuing the train of thought, why should we feel constrained to a 3-point minimum in mule deer units?  Why even follow the season dates, for that matter? And the license and tag fees?  Why give that money to the f'ing WDFW???  Take some steps down a slippery slope and there might not be any rules at all.

Because for years we played by the rules while "they" do not.

They spike trees, block logging, remove cattle from range lands, block mining, block predator management...just for starters.  They're blocking all consumptive use of forest lands.   They attack what "we" do from all angles, and now they're sitting on the commission.

We've lost, its a forgone conclusion that hunting in western blue states is slowly going away, it's just a matter of time.

Western red states are reducing nonresident tags because of us not hunting here at home.

When citizens are ignored, blamed, defamed, and financially hurt without remedy you will see abandonment of the law. While  we dont have to accept this lawbreaking, acknowledgement isnt approval. The Anti Hunting forces wont treat sportsmen better if/we condemn  these actions. they will just use them against us.

The wolf issue is contentious because the introduction of them into the GYA was done illegally without the proper wildlife impacts being studied, without adequate medical treatment to ensure the wolves that were released wouldn't spread disease, and false testimony to Congress regarding all of these topics. The spread of the Canadian wolves has decimated ungulate herds in the areas where they have been allowed to flourish. Cattle business have been particularly hard-hit because the wolves haven't been restricted to remote and wilderness areas, often propagating in populated areas, and preying on easy food - cattle, sheep, pets, and soon, little people. Some, whose families, livelihoods, and traditions have been threatened have chosen to fight these predators with means just as legal as those which were used to introduce them. In other words, illegal means. I don't condone poaching and I certainly understand how a rancher looking at the decimation of his calves might take controlling them into his own hands. The WA state wolf plan was specifically designed to make it next to impossible to meet conditions for further management. OR is similar. And now, with the wildlife commission infested with animal rights organization members, it's doubtful they'll ever be managed, whether or not they meet the "lofty" plan guidelines. I understand that those negatively affective have decided that enough is enough and they must take actions to protect that which they value into their own hands.

Yeah you could a few years ago but you have to sign paperwork and agree to only place it underground, not on the surface and you have to tell them what field your using it in. It comes in plain white paper feed bags and has a small inconspicuous label on it.

I have hunted that general area of eastern Oregon for the last 15 years.  well I missed one year when I drew White River here.  I can tell you first hand what the wolves have done to the elk herds.  I took video and pics of fresh and old wolf elk kills.  This year I walked up on a pack feeding on a fresh cow elk.  I tried to contact ODFW wolf managers.  Not one response to my three emails.  They don't want to know or they don't care.  Not sure what they expect when people are being ignored.

Folks want to carry a firearm in businesses that say no weapons. The list goes on. Continuing the train of thought, why should we feel constrained to a 3-point minimum in mule deer units?  Why even follow the season dates, for that matter? And the license and tag fees?  Why give that money to the f'ing WDFW???  Take some steps down a slippery slope and there might not be any rules at all.

When citizens are ignored, blamed, defamed, and financially hurt without remedy you will see abandonment of the law. While  we dont have to accept this lawbreaking, acknowledgement isnt approval. The Anti Hunting forces wont treat sportsmen better if/we condemn  these actions. they will just use them against us. Make no mistake  the "Middle Ground" is sportsmen continually capitulating until our sport is gone, or so reduced that it cannot influence the general public sentiment.


 :yeah: Kinda like how this country was formed. Taxation without representation. Hunters are paying ALL the bills for wildlife in blue states but have no say in wildlife management

I've heard that a pack of 10 wolves eats the equivalent of 120 elk per year.  Again, I don't disagree with the fact that wolves are/could decimate the ungulates.  But the wolves are just being wolves.  I disagree with folks condoning others taking action into their own hands that happens to be illegal.  That's just not the way organized and civil society is supposed to work.  This has been an interesting conversation.  I appreciate the various perspectives.

Organized and civil society is a big pile of crap.  Its precisely why one sided societies do whatever they want and the hell with consequences that dont exist anymore.

Good on whoever offed the wolves and may many more follow.  The whole wolf thing is another example of agenda driven organized civil society forcing their agenda on others despite history and science.

A civilized society is the polite code for know your place and station plebs.

If those whom are effected most dont have a vested interest to work inside the system, will just work out side of it. Not only hoesd history give us plenty of examples within wildlife, but history in general.

I'm pretty sure we agree, despite my residing in Seattle, about the underlying principle that wolves need to be managed.  Not sure what me living in Seattle has to do with anything else, other than that I have to drive a lot farther than just about everyone else on this board to fish/scout/hunt/recreate in the outdoors.  Contrary to what some might think, not all Seattleites think the same, and not all folks outside of Seattle are the same.  Again, I appreciate the dialogue and disparate viewpoints.

Because men have turned sensational....it’s a generation thing.  We poisoned the heck out of them back in the day for a reason.  No one cared about the feelers of the anti’s
back then.  Society has changed and some on here have morphed along with the change.  Bottom line is wolves suck and don’t fit in to the food chain.  We are the top carnivore now.

I do because it is legal.  I do have concerns that rodents leaving my bait boxes around my cabin will be eaten by raptors and I am assuming eating rodents that are dying from poison is not good for the raptors.

Gross mismanagement was always going to lead to public intolerance, look how far WDFW has fallen in public trust, especially when they call a wolf depredation on cattle an angry badger, a coyote, domestic dogs, or coyotes.."game wardens" had to freaking call Olympia to get approval to call it a wolf attack even when the calf was still alive, its arse eaten out, and the pack howling 100 yards away.

These actions led to Stevens County getting their own large carnivore person, Jeff Flood, and now Klickitat county is doing it over there.

More counties are going to follow suit.

WDFW is in a political quagmire, stalled, they cannot do their job.

"Gross mismanagement"? I think it's being managed just the way WDFW wants it managed.

 :yeah:

Bringing the wolves in was Never about balancing the ecosystem, it was about destroying the balance. And as many have seen the wolves have and are doing a fine job of it. Remember the Rockholm documentary on the Yellowstone elk herd? How many sick elk were slaughtered by the wolves in five years?

Oregon and WA came out with first wolf pack in 70 years on the very same day, imagine the coordination for that line of BS.

Livestock producers etc. figured out along time ago, ways to protect their livestock instead of wasting more livestock by calling the fraud department.

Anyone who wants to complain about the way wolves die, should place their anger 'sad feelings' at those who brought the wolves in and then refuse to manage them.. :twocents:

I’ve hunted on nature conservancy property in WA quite a bit, talked to their field personnel when I’ve seen them at the gates, certainly didn’t have any issue with hunting and they explained long term conservation plans for the property.

They work for the corrupt USFWS, just like the nature conservancy is the middle man for the gov buying up huge chunks of land.
The spotted owl, wolves, salmon is all part of a big plan-
It is? I thought it was hunter led conservation groups that served as the middle man for the gov buying land. I’ve hunted on nature conservancy property in WA quite a bit, talked to their field personnel when I’ve seen them at the gates, certainly didn’t have any issue with hunting and they explained long term conservation plans for the property.

BLM Continues To Buy US Land From Nature Conservancy

Okay? What point are you attempting to make here, should they have held the land indefinitely and if they don't they're evil? Our hunter led conservation organizations do the exact same thing and often work with the NC as well as tribal entities to conserve land from development. The trade of is you get a Suncadia smack in the middle of a migration corridor and winter range area if nothings done.

It is a total mess and it will get ugly and the cost will be huge.
Why do the tree huggers get their way these days?
   

Because they are serial litigators and good at it. Someone more talented than me needs to sue them for past disasters they created. Turn the tables on them. Anti logging and forest management and the resulting forest fire costs would be a great start. They have never been held accountable.

Why does the gov hide behind NC, instead of outright buying the land in the first place?

Times are changing pretty quick, bet it would surprise you a bit if the "gov" decided to let a corporation or corporations control certain areas of land they had bought or all of it and shut it down to hunting etc., managing the land for Profit of course...

Its a sales pitch. NC is a non profit so my guess is that some kind of compromise can be meet. Say i have land worth 100k that needs selling at an estate sale.  I can accept 50K cash and take the rest as a 501c3 donation.  NC has the time and ability to extract full price from the feds where as an individual gets a quicker sale and a tax deduction as opposed to paying more. That is how I would structure it if i was playing a numbers game. It may be even more profitable  than that depending on conditions of sale.

Capital Press is reporting a wolf shot sometime around 1/8 in this same general area.  It was a collared two year old female.
