I think we need to forget the discussions about the plan because it's a done deal. I think we need to push hard for confirmation of wolves. :twocents:

Great post Killbilly, everyone can see where we are at now.

That is exactly the right focus Dale. I had a long talk with Nate Pamplin this morning and he is asking, no in fact almost demanding that folks quit talking and start calling the hotline so they can get these sightings confirmed. He had not heard of the 13 seen in the Teanaway area and he states that they still only have the five packs and 27 total wolves. He says they really do need our help.... I know..... credibility... but maybe he is serious.

2 problems, and I know you're aware of both. Problem #1, no way for the state to verify current or future number of BPs, so no REAL light at the end of the tunnel. Problem #2, if we ever do figure out that there are 15 verifiable BPs, and we do get through all the years of litigation, hunting will not be nearly effective enough to control wolf numbers.
I won't go into detail but Nate indicated he wanted to re-address an earlier offer of assistance. (WDFW) pretty much turned their noses up at it when first offered) I contacted the Bio and he is going to call Nate. We will be looking at this very closely too.

We have the numbers, we just need to deploy a plan that makes it quick and easy for information to be funneled to the right people.

Why is there not a hotline and an internet reporting site like Idaho's if they are serious?

(Or is there?)

Now it they had just gotten on the bunny rabbit band-wagon instead, it would be a different ballgame. :chuckle:

I find it ironic that the pro-wolf people haven't figured out that because wolves are near the top of the food chain, it will be hunters who have to keep them in check.

Although it has been proven that Hunting is not a successful method of Wolf Control....I sure hope you are right.
