WOLVES IN THE RIMROCK UNIT

[bracer40]

So from reading your story, you are eager to poach a wolf. Doesnt seem right. Wolves are good for the ecosystems. Leave them alone

And from the Pullman wolf thread:

somebody forgot to shovel and shut up. what an idiot.

Interesting.

Of course they are just passing through.  Once the easy food is gone, they will move on.  Common sense...

I think there is some merit to the whole 'balancing the ecosystem' mantra.  Like in parts of Alaska, BC, and other very remote and wild places.  But here in the mainland USA, that ship has sailed.  Too many humans and nothing will change that.  we can barely manage the deer and elk numbers and habitat as it is. Introducing more alpha predators who will kill for sport with no regard for, or concept of, 'balance' is just a pipe dream.  Something will have to give.  And deer and elk and farm animals, pets, coyotes, and anything else in the wolves path will wind up paying for it.  All because of some false sense of 'balance' that may come.  It is just an environmentalist wolf worshiping romantic pipe dream.  Balance.  Right....

Nice catch!

I read your account again.   Really the only thing I have to lecture you about is that you spent 4 rounds presumably of 5 and you have 3 wolves that could want to eat your bacon.   Other than that, I think you did good.   Crud photo or not, I'd love for you to post

Those things could have killed you.  Your lucky you made it out alive.     I hope you had a side arm to defend yourself.

Sorry this would of been a better post if I had read wdfw asking info about 3 wolves shot in the rimrock!

Nice catch Bracer40!  Looks like Naches Sportsman plays on both sides of the fence...
And he is calling me a poacher and the other guy an idiot.  Who is the idiot??

We've been working on his personality for a couple years now.     It is a work in progress.

 . :chuckle:Hey I'm as guilty of it as the next guy.  The crime? Speaking before thinking or as I've seen more than a few times online....typing & posting before thinking.

. More like a lost cause!

Best post I have seen in a long long time.

We need PICS!

I know you are trying to fit in with that USFS crowd you run around with, but I have to warn you.  You live in Naches and there are still enough locals around that will hang a man by his bootlaces from the nearest tree for less than that.

I have heard a rumor of an archery huter nwatching a wolf come past there tree stand this year (or some thong like that up there in Rimrock unit)

I had a camera out for a few moths up on top of Pine Grass, and know of a few other cameras that are still up there, its only time before one of those cams get a pic of one of the wolfs.



Cant wait to see pic, good or bad 

Im with you, on you doing the right thing, but to avoid the wolf lovers tearing in to you, just leave shooting or harassing part of the story out.
Im sure there a some on here that are probably sending the WDFW a link to this thread to try and get you in to trouble for admitting that you harassed the wolfs

Great to see they have their own special defender in Yakima

Pretty sure I heard a wolf in the Little Naches last weekend.
