Title: wolf tourism ?????
Post by: denali on August 11, 2009, 08:40:46 PM: "11 difficult to predict. Washington could conceivably develop a wolf-related tourist industry, 12 depending on where wolves reestablish, at what numbers, and their detectability. Wolf 13 recolonization is anticipated to have minimal to no impact on the state’s forest products industry"

:bash:

Post by: bearpaw on August 13, 2009, 06:23:15 AM: I want to contract with the state to remove problem wolves. Guy in Idaho gets $1500 per wolf..... :o :yike:

I explained this to the Commission at their meeting and requested to be put on the list of proffessional hunters :chuckle:

At the next commission meeting more of you need to request your names put on the gravy train list for lethal wolf removal..... :chuckle: ;)

Post by: wolfbait on August 15, 2009, 08:41:07 AM: The Revised Wolf Plan has added the Wilapa Hills and Olympic Peninisula to areas where wolves could be translocated to inside Washington. Previously, only the Southern Cascades were seriously considered. A fourth wolf recovery zone was added to the plan--the Pacific Coast Region. There is also extensive new modeling and discussion about Washington's potential wolf habitats and linkages between them. I would imagine there are wolves already in these areas, put there by the very ones who planted them in the Methow Valley. So now we get to watch them go about their business translocating more wolves into these same areas once again, under the guise of "wolf recovery for Washington."

It will be a bleeding heart liberal in a jogging suit with the sent of deer or elk blood permanently baked into it. Oh , and of course, it will be unarmed and looking cluelessly away from its natural urban granola munching environment. That oughta get them close enough for a picture.
