Which goes back to my point, you whack a few wolves at great personal risk, and they just back fill the following year.   

How many wolves can a rancher kill over how many years before he's caught and ruined?


I'm just not sure SSS is feasible over the long term, eventually they'd mess up and someone will see something, get a collared wolf, or hit on small trail cameras....the loose ends will gather and eventually paint a picture.

They've got buckets of money, both public and private, to investigate and put a bounty out for killing "endangered wolves". I don't see it as something a rancher would get away with killing enough to have a positive impact.

Only for sure is no one tolerates an aggressive predator, don't allow yourself to be bit or worse, confrontation is cause for lethal self defense and I urge everyone to be prepared for that instance.

The wedge and the ranchers within are ground zero for the wolf fight in Washington, it's where it all started, where the very first wolves were killed igniting a firestorm.

As such it got very political and the ranchers came under heavy scrutiny.  One screwup and the state would love to get even, and make an example out of them.

That fight is still underway.

Some of the Cattlemen were told that if there was a shot wolf the weapons they had would have been rounded up and had ballistic tests done on them looking for suspects.

Haha, how much cheaper is it to buy a gun SSS and lose the gun from the cost of damages?.. just asking for a friend...

Was on my way to the high hunt prolly 11 years ago and my partner swerved to try to kill a wolf just about 3 miles west of whitepass ski resort.

Dude they have been there for at least that long.  Shut up.  Don;t talk about wolves.  Be a patriot.   Make it go away.  you people are as dumb as it gets.

Pianoman thinks I'm the only Patriot here.     Pretty offensive comment to a lot of folks here.
