No one said anything about getting rid of all the predators.

Still 6 days of cat hunting left!  Get out there and kill one!

It was part of a scenario that carbon threw out there.
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

Not that we could even if we wanted to. Without hounds and foot hold traps there is no way we could eterimante any of them. Not even if the season was year round.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

We definitely need to all focus more on hunting them, but to really get a broad base of people committed most people will have to see a tangible personal benefit.  I'm not defending that, just stating it's human nature.  I'm thinking we need a "Foundation for wildlife management" like Idaho that reimburses expenses for every predator killed in WA.  If we're going to make a serious impact without brining back hounds, OTC spring bear, etc... That's what it'll take.

I'm for something like that.
I think the best coyote derby I've seen organized, not participated in, was the one in the NE that ran for a month, turned in coyotes got raffle tags for great prizes. Something like that in each regional of that scale would be awesome.

Listen to this podcast about efforts being made in Idaho.  http://averyadventures.com/41-justin-webb/

Can you imagine the difference that would be made if Washington would look at the issue this way?  I still say the Bio's need to grow a pair or OTC hunting is going to be a thing of the past in this state, and as success rates and opportunities dwindle future hunter recruitment will dwindle.  It's a vicious cycle.
Done. Joined. Not a wolf hater by any means but active management is a grand idea. It would be interested to hear their take on WA and OR...
