I Would like to highlight what i think H2ofowler is trying to say... THEY ARN'T PLAYING BY THE RULES! What makes you think you can get anywhere by being high and mighty?  I think it IS best to obey the laws, but ID and MT didn't fare too well by "going along to get along" Only WY that told the Feds to pound sand got a OK deal out of it...

We are NOT negotiating with a HONEST partner on this issue... So if they are not honest who is the SUCKER?

the "FEDS" have delisted wolves, we are fighting our own state here.

I would like to see our current Coyote rules put in place for wolves, but I have my doubts that alone would manage them but it would help.

Just another reason why we lack trust with the WDFW.

I guess I will put in my two cents!  I would turn in a poacher of any wildlife if it were illegal and or out of season.  I may have too much faith in the system but I think that laws and rulles are there for a reason and I for one try to obey the law.  Just because a Wolf is a apex preditor that kills the things we like to hunt does not give anyone the right to shoot them illegally.  I love to hunt Elk and Deer and have hunted in many states that have Wolf poulations graterthan Washingtons and have still managed to take game.  Now if that wolf is killing my livestalk then I would take the necassary steps to solve the problem in a legal manner.

i read somwhere that the wdfw was gonna kill a pack of wolves that are repeat offenders of hunting farmer joes backyard and killn his cattle, well i hope its true and thank the wdfw for steppn the hell up and doing whats right, but isnt the definition of insanity "doing the samething over and over and expecting a differant result"? ok so they wipe out this pack and transplant some new ones to the area, ok so whats gonna stop these new wolves from killn farmer joes live stock again?

WDFG is going to eliminate the Wedge Pack in NE Washington.

Some of those wolves have already dispersed with the taste of beef on their tongues, they will educate the other wolves.
Read some of the wolf articles being posted, other packs are doing the same as the wedge pack.  Wolves are wolves, they'll prove that over and over.

There is no legal resolution for free ranging cattle that isn't cost prohibitive.

I wouldnt turn anyone in for doing in my mind the right thing. I dont care what are government or the anti's think . A law is a law what a joke I dont just roll over and do what im told because some one else writes a bs law into effect. Im glad to see other people that are sick of all the rules we have to live by. We dont need wolves and I dont care if they were here first eather.

Here is a thread and poll from several years ago.  Will be interesting to see how the results change........

Where's wolfbait on a topic like this?  Bring this topic back in a few years and see how many of these guys changed their past time to golf or something of the sort.
