It has been the policy of Hunting-Washington to allow most civil discussions. Moderators will sometimes remove comments they find and judge to violate forum rules especially if comments are unsuitable for family viewing or discussion on this forum. When comments are found that suggest illegal activity they are usually left on the forum so that law enforcement can monitor such activity.
Topics started that appear to be meant primarily to promote illegal activity are not desired, topics that are meant to discuss the issues related to illegal activities may be allowed. Not everyone will understand or agree with what the moderators choose to remove or allow, but the moderator team will do their best to administer this policy in the best interest of this forum and the sport.
Everyone has agreed to the Forum Rules when signing up to use this forum. Please note the following excerpt from the Forum Rules: https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,163263.msg2152384.html#msg2152384
You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, slanderous, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any State, International, or United States Federal law.

I don't see how taking pictures or setting trail cams can be illegal, after all, Conservation Northwest members are doing it all over Washington. Disturbing wolves with other intentions is most likely illegal. I don't know how far you can go to protect livestock or pets, currently I do not think you can legally shoot a wolf in Washington under any circumstance unless you are being attacked, but I do not know how the law reads on that, I certainly hope the laws allow you to protect yourself or other humans. :twocents:
Check The Laws & Report Wolf Sightings
Inform yourself by reading the Hunting Regulations, by calling WDFW, and by visiting the WDFW website. Report sightings, depredation, or any other types of wolf info here: http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/contacts.html#guidelines (http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/contacts.html#guidelines)
Also report any wolf info and sightings here for the public record: http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,79244.0.html (http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,79244.0.html)

I have a problem with the wolves being introduced in WA. Not that I'm against it I just think the farmers and ranchers will have the final say and that will be it. I dont think they will get established enough for us to hunt them but hey maybe my head is in the sand.huh ... they will be everywhere soon... there are more out there than they think ....guarantee ya that .... :tup:

Great subject, not sure how many will commit themselves to posting anything. In the field we hear of violations which are never reported. Remember, anyone reporting violations to WDFW, do so in a timely manner, ASAP, not a week later. Also try to include vehicle plate numbers, direction of travel, time, etc. It's nice to see them caught in the field, makes a big splash. Investigation consume a lot of time.R u a gamewarden or something???... Nobody is going to report of a wolf being shot.. Hense "Shoot and Drive Away" or people throwing sponges on the sides of road soaked in blood and meat... You u want to save the wolves then go out and pick all the sponges off the side of the road because i wont... And im pretty sure nobody else will either. :dunno:

:chuckle: :chuckle: makes a big splash for the wolf lovers. Its not illegal to keep your mouth shut. Makes me wonder about people that would rush to turn someone in. IMO....worry about yourself. If your gonna lose sleep over a dead wolf, there are plenty of people who share your views. Just not hunters who actually care about our wildlifeGreat subject, not sure how many will commit themselves to posting anything. In the field we hear of violations which are never reported.

I thought I read that the wolves here in WA are spreading from those released in Idaho and Montana. They weren’t released here were they?

I'll be the first one to buy a wolf tag in WA if possible, and I buy them every year in Idaho. I chase bears, killed my share of coyotes, and I plan on chasing cats this winter as well, so don't dare call me a predator lover. It all has to be done on the up and up though.

I've said before and I'll say it again. The anonymity this site allows breeds this type of discussion. I truly believe if HuntWA required everyone to use their real names the amount of trash talking and unhelpful bantar would decrease significantly. Say what you mean, mean what you say, and stand up proud about saying it. Don't hide behind the cloak of the internet and your fake names. Let's have quality discussions that support the hunting community, our traditions, our way of life. All this trash talk about breaking laws destroys the very fabric that defines us as a community bound by ethics. It paints everyone of us as blood thirsty, apathetic barbarians, not conservationists.

What vetting would be done to verify the names being given are in fact real names?
No way to ensure that it would be any different, from now.

Using your real name would be the dumbest move ever. Post a picture of a cougar you harvest.. have your house fire bombed next week by some animal rights activist Not thought out clearly..

It's simple: When someone posts an illegal activity or expresses support for same, the post is taken down and that thread is reminded of the forum policy. If one person violates the policy even after several PM warnings, they're suspended. More times? Removed permanently.

I certainly don't post things on Facebook which would be considered controversial because many of my customers are friends, and I only post to friends, not the public, because I don't want the crazies. Forums are different and normally address specific areas of interest. That's why anonymity is important because groups like DOW search for hunting groups to call out the topics and members.

I did not mean anything in a negative way towards the mods. :tup:
No I get that, and maybe I misread what you were saying. Earlier today there were a couple posts on here that were deleted from a guy suggesting using poison meatballs to deal with the wolves. I thought that's what you were referring to. My bad.

What names are allowed on Facebook?
Facebook is a community where everyone uses the name they go by in everyday life. This makes it so that you always know who you're connecting with.
Your name can't include:
Symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, repeating characters or punctuation.
Characters from multiple languages.
Titles of any kind (example: professional, religious).
Words or phrases in place of a name.
Offensive or suggestive words of any kind.
If your name follows our standards and you're still having trouble changing it, find out why.
Other things to keep in mind:
The name on your profile should be the name that your friends call you in everyday life. This name should also appear on an ID or document from our ID list.
Nicknames can be used as a first or middle name if they're a variation of your authentic name (like Bob instead of Robert).
You can also list another name on your account (example: maiden name, nickname, professional name).
Profiles are for individual use only. You can create a Page for a business, organization or idea.
Pretending to be anything or anyone isn't allowed.
Post by: KFhunter on July 23, 2018, 01:37:45 PM
I know a few folks had their accounts suspended for making false name pages, some for security, some for business and some I dunno why :dunno:
In the military community a lot of folks were trying to use nick names or handles during that period when ISIS was targeting military and doxxing them, lot of those folks simply left FB.

Of course, that is what they say is required, but I pose the same question I asked before, what vetting process is being done??
The answer is none. There is no facebook identity verification unit that comes out and checks for valid and proper picture ID before allowing an account to be opened, there is no requirement to submit a copy of said valid ID to be put on file, to think otherwise is just silly.
The pages that get dumped are usually obviously fake, example, cloning someone's account, then the person or one of their friends sees it and reports it. Or they get reported for sending spam and advertising links out...
So there is no benefit to "requiring" real names be used on profiles, and as has been mentioned, several real hazards in doing so.
Welcome to the internet and social media, be whom ever you want to be and say what ever you want because the conquences are...well, pretty much none.
