Title: Washington State needs more predators
Post by: nwalpineguide on December 13, 2019, 07:41:51 AM
I sure wish there were more mega predators in Washington.

I "FEEL" we just don't have enough. Yet.

It shouldn't  be too difficult to import some non-native exotic Bengal and Siberian tigers as well a few African hyenas and lion. Coupla approved SEPAs and NEPAs and Poof! Done. Just not enough opportunity here to hunt predators. Diminished ungulate populations just don't hold the appeal they used to for me.

Can't wait for those furry, cuddly, grizzly bears to make an appearance in the central and north Cascade range.

I miss the golden age of predator hunting!

We need to get some gators in the river systems so we can choot 'em.

FYI.. Grizzlies have been in the Central Cascades since the 90's. Many people have seen them and I'm talking hunters, including Alaskan guides.

Central Cascades or North Cascades? South of Hwy 2 would be Central to me...

Maybe someone can genetically engineer Burmese pythons to den and survive our winters.  I'd like to hunt giant snakes without having to go to Florida

Those mountain rescue bears? They remind me of the St. Bernard mountain rescue dogs from cartoons as a kid. The ones that had whiskey in the barrels on their necks they gave the guy who was caught in the avalanche!  :chuckle: :chuckle:

I not up for a challenge so I want to see polar bears in this state. Can't imagine it would be too hard to spot one of those bad boys wandering the woods.

We could put them in the Columbia, and the sound to keep the seals in check.👍

Just think of all the money that could be made from tourism to watch polar bears.🤣

Similar beasts have all been here and will be again, patience is a virtue.  Oh, I forgot, we only are here for an instant and these things take a little time.

I think we need more of those. It's really nice of those bears to volunteer for that duty.
